The beautiful views and the restaurant in the sea, to which there is a long bridge and where delicious paella is prepared, give this place a peculiar charm and make it very popular among tourists in Mallorca.
- Canyamel Beach – A sandy and rocky beach on the island of Mallorca, which has been awarded the Blue Flag. It is located a few kilometers from the Arta Caves, surrounded by a nature reserve and an estuary. The water here is usually crystal clear. It is located in a tourist area, but there are no large crowds of people here due to its long length. There is a pine forest nearby, where you can sit in the shade of the trees. It is a family beach 290 meters long, with clear turquoise water and fine sand. The infrastructure of the beach is well developed.

- Beaches of Illetas и Cala Comtesa are located near the town of Palma de Mallorca. These are two sandy beaches that are side by side.

- Port Soller (Puerto Soller) is known for its beautiful old streetcar from 1913, which runs to the town of Soller. But this is not the only thing that makes the port of Soller an attractive destination. There are 2 accessible beaches: Playa den Repic with golden sand and Playa den Traves (the streetcar passes right behind this beach). It is shallow and the entrance to the water is very gentle.
- Es Trenc – A three-kilometer long sandy beach that has been compared to the Caribbean Sea because of its lush vegetation and shallow, calm blue sea.
