Mallorca has more than 200 beaches and coves. Some are packed in summer; others remain almost untouched all year round. Travelling by campervan lets you reach the lesser-known ones, get up before anyone else and have breakfast with the sea at your feet. Here is our selection of the best.

Northern coves: turquoise water and cliffs

Cala Figuera (Formentor)

On the Formentor Peninsula, this small cove with its deep blue water is surrounded by pine trees and cliffs. Campervan access is possible as far as the main car park, from where it is a 10-minute walk.

Type: Small cove, peaceful atmosphere
Parking: Paid car park in high season
Why go: Spectacular scenery, cold and clean water even in summer

Cala Mesquida

One of the few natural beaches of the northeast with dunes. No development around it, fine sand and crystal-clear water. The car park allows campervan overnight stays (check Park4Night for the current situation).

Type: Large beach, dunes, natural setting
Parking: Large, with space for campervans
Best time: All year, especially outside the main season
Why go: One of the few well-preserved natural beaches on the east coast

Eastern beaches: peaceful and accessible

Cala Agulla

Fine-sand beach in Cala Ratjada, sheltered by pine trees. Shallow water, perfect for families. There is a large car park a 10-minute walk away.

Type: Large beach, fine sand
Parking: Campervan area nearby in Cala Ratjada
Why go: Perfect combination of beautiful beach and village with amenities

Cala Mondragó

Within the Mondragó Natural Park, in the southeast. Two coves connected by a boardwalk, Caribbean-coloured water and a sandy seabed. Camping in the park surroundings is prohibited, but there is a designated car park.

Type: Double cove in a natural park
Parking: Paid car park at the park entrance
Best time: Late May, June and September
Why go: Some of the cleanest water on the whole island, protected surroundings

The south: Mallorca’s wildest beach

Es Trenc

4 kilometres of white sand and Caribbean-coloured water with zero development. Probably the wildest and most spectacular beach on the entire island. Access is via a quiet road from Campos.

Type: Undeveloped beach, long, white sand
Parking: Several paid car parks with space for campervans
Best time: May–June and September (very busy in August)
Why go: The beach that appears in every Mallorca photo. You have to see it.

Tip: The Es Trenc car parks charge by time bracket. Look for the furthest car park — it tends to be quieter and has more space for campervans.

Ses Covetes

Right next to Es Trenc, this small beach is even more peaceful. There are traditional fishermen’s cottages and a beach bar. Perfect for a final swim before heading back to Palma.

Western coves: unique sunsets

Cala Deià

15 minutes on foot from the village of Deià along a path between olive trees. A pebble cove nestled between cliffs, accessible on foot only. Cold and very clean water. Park in Deià and walk down.

Type: Pebble cove, foot access only
Why go: One of the wildest and most authentic coves of the Serra de Tramuntana

Cala de Sant Elm

At the southwestern tip, facing the island of Sa Dragonera (a nature reserve). Quiet village, small beach and open-sea views. A good stop if you are coming back from Cap de Sa Mola.

Tips for visiting beaches by campervan

Arrive early or late. In high season, cove car parks fill up before 10 am and empty out around 6 pm. Making the most of the late afternoon and evening is a clear advantage of travelling by campervan.

Use Park4Night. The app has up-to-date information on which car parks allow overnight stays, which have height restrictions and which have water services.

Respect the environment. Mallorca has protected beaches where vehicle access is expressly prohibited. Always check before trying to reach any area not designated for vehicles.

Bring a snorkel. The northern and eastern coves have such transparent water that the seabed is worth exploring. It is one of the free pleasures you simply cannot miss.
