In the Balearic Islands, you will find a paradise of white sand and turquoise waters in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea. The perfect place to simply relax and enjoy. For more information on the Balearic Islands, visit here, or visit us on Pinterest.
Balearic Island beaches have an excellent climate with some 300 days of sun per year, making them one of the preferred holiday destinations in Spain. The Balearic islands are all unique, but they all have stunning, whitewashed, untouched beaches. Below are some of the best beaches in the archipelago so you can start planning your trip:
Caló des Moro, Mallorca
Very close to Santanyí, about six kilometers away, you will find the most popular beach in Mallorca and one of the best known for its natural beauty. After walking for a few minutes along a path, you will get your reward: fine white sand, a few large rocks and crystal-clear water will be waiting for you in this quiet corner of the island.

.
Es Trenc Beach, Mallorca
An incredible unspoiled beach surrounded by pine trees, with over three kilometres of fine white sand. The water, in addition to being impeccable and transparent, is always very calm, making it a perfect place for swimming and enjoying with the family.

.
Cavalleria Beach, Menorca
This beach is found in the north of the island of Menorca, and is one of the quietest. Here, you will find more than half a kilometer of reddish sand in the middle of nature, a perfect place to put your towel wherever you want and enter the water to cool off. In addition, this beach has an extensive area of dunes that will offer you an unforgettable landscape. For more information, visit our Menorca Travel Guide here.
Cala Macarella, Menorca
This is, without a doubt, one of the most famous coves in Menorca. An authentic paradise hidden between rocks, perfect for enjoying the sea and the sun. If you find the place is packed with people, you can walk for a few minutes until you reach its smaller sister, Macarelleta cove, just as beautiful, but in a slightly smaller and less crowded space. For more information, visit our Menorca Travel Guide here.
Caló des Mort, Formentera
This is a dream cove, especially in the low season, when, with luck, you can swim almost alone. To the south of Formentera, on the so-called Costa de Migjorn, is where you can find this beautiful little corner. Plus, if you stay late you can enjoy a real show: When the sun sets below the horizon, the sea turns golden to create a postcard landscape. For more information, visit our Formentera Trave Guide here.
Playa de Ses Illetes, Formentera
Located at the northernmost point of the island, this beach was chosen as the best in Europe, thanks to its white sand and turquoise waters, which, with the Posidonia at its bottom, an aquatic plant species, are of the highest quality in the world. A magical place in Formentera, that you cannot miss. For more information, visit our Formentera Trave Guide here.
.
Cala d’Hort, Ibiza
A small cove with great views, one of the best beaches in Ibiza regardless of its dimensions, since the surroundings of this cove are spectacular, and not only for being located in strict nature reserve, also for the wonderful views of the islets of Es Vedrá and Es Vedranell. A set of characteristics that make it a unique beach. For more information, visit our Ibiza Travel Guide Here.

Playa Aigües Blanques, Ibiza
After going down a path with a steep slope, you will step on the golden sand of this beautiful beach with calm waters and high cliffs, in the northwest of the island. Here you will find a paradise for divers, but you will also love it if you just want to relax since the mud from the cliff is often used as a skin care ointment and for massages.

Wow, what a lovely collection of superb beach destination. As you regular visitor, I always share your posts with other. Balearic Island beaches seems a superb holiday destination as well. I wish I could go there one day. I love travel and you always encourage us to do so, thank you.
Yes, traveling in my opinion, is good for the soul. And to me, nothing beats beach travel. So relaxing, beautiful, and just a wonderful time. Thanks for visiting the Balearic Island beaches.
I love the beach destinations you have shared. It’s freezing cold at the moment here in UK, but we are planning for a big family beach holiday in summer. I have this amazing website and all your hard work, I will decide according to this website, beachtraveldestinations.com is not a website but a well trusted travel guide. Thank you so much for making our family holiday such an ease.
Thank you Sarah for your kind words. I bet it is cold in the UK right now! I’m a warm weather gal, and growing up in Alaska, I think I have had enough cold to last a lifetime. Thanks for visiting my Balearic Island Beaches post.
Hi these Mediterranean islands are popular amongst Irish and UK citizens and I heard some amazing stories while they were there. I have never been there but I heard Ibiza was the party island of the world but it has quietened down over the years, now families can go and enjoy which is ideal and recommended.
Yes, not near as crazy or as crowded as it used to be. I think there are quite a few other beach destination that have taken the place. So this is a great beach getaway. And you would definitely have an amazing story to tell after visiting!
Love this site!! I spend most of last summer in Mallorca and a week in Ibiza, we are just finishing our 3 month trip in Indonesia & Thailand and head back to Mallorca next week. can’t wait to get to these beeches again, the water is so clear, and the sun is pretty much a guarantee every day. I will be checking your other recommended areas on here, and strongly recommend the Balearic Islands to anyone, or if you need to get to the beach in January then I would also recommend Thailand & Indonesia!! Luke.
Thank you so much Luke for taking the time to leave comments and visiting the Balearic Island Beaches. And yes, it is pretty much a guarantee that there are no bad days in the Balearic Islands!
Georgeous. If I ever travelled to Spain, I’ll be sure to visit some of the beaches. Perhaps it will be helpful to include some images for every single beaches that you listed there? That would really bring out the different personality of the beaches as you put it. For me, I would prefer beaches that are not overcrowded where you can stroll down leisurely in the evening while slowly sipping some drinks. That would be blissful.
Yes, I agree Kenny and I do plan on changing the pictures and showing one for each beach … on the shorter posts anyway 🙂 Thanks for visiting the best beaches in Europe!
I really like the interesting photos and videos on the beaches. Based on the descriptions, they all seem fun and unique. This provides a lot of knowledge about the beaches that are good to visit. There are also good offers for tickets and rentals. I would really like to travel to these places when I’m free.
I have not been to the Balearic Islands myself, and it is on my bucket list for sure. The Balearic Island beaches are amazing for sure. Thank you for visiting!
Some really beautiful destinations there. I went to Majorca, Palma Nova a few years ago and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The beach, sea and the weather were amazing plus it is only down the road from Magaluf.
From England, it takes about 2 hours to get to Majorca; I truly recommend going to these islands.
I have to agree with you Josh! Some of the best beaches in Europe can be found for sure. Thank you so much for visiting the Balearic Island Beaches.
Fantastic site. I’ve never heard of the Balearic Islands, but I’m definitely adding this to my bucket list. It seems perfect for my family. There are a few links to find discounted flights, but where would you actually fly into? Would we be able to fly to the mainland and take a ferry over? Thank you.
You would fly into Palma, Majorca, Spain and then yes, take a ferry to the islands 🙂 It is a wonderful place with lots of great beaches. Thank you for visiting the Balearic Island beaches!
You have recommended lots of good places for travel. Certainly these beach destinations are awesome places to spend time with the loved ones. Thank you for sharing these wonderful islands as a travel guide. These places are “must go” for adventure and fun. How is the climate in September or October? What is the best time to go when most people gather?
If you want to go with the crowd, then you’ll want to go between June and August. April – May and September to October can be nice and the temperatures are still going to be in the 70s. Thank you for visiting the Balearic Island Beaches.
Your website gosh so well illustrated and detailed. But what i think is that if someone is researching about a place to visit which probably have no prior knowledge on it would be great if more pictures could be shown to your visitors while describing it. Also videos will be great to sum it up.
Thank you for your input 🙂 I do have videos at the bottom of all posts with information for that particular area. I originally had more pictures as well, but that slowed the website down too much. Hard to find the happy medium I guess. Thank you for visiting Balearic Island Beaches!
