Turquoise water and cliffs at Playa de Formentor
Pine forest, dramatic cliffs and some of the clearest water on the island.
A beach day worth making time for.
Make the journey out to Formentor and settle in for a few unhurried hours by the sea. Swim, explore the shoreline or retreat beneath the pines when the sun gets too strong, with the dramatic landscape making this feel like more than a simple afternoon at the beach.
One of Mallorca's great beaches, for good reason.
Formentor sits at the northern tip of the island, its long sweep of pale sand backed by pine forest and framed by the mountains of the Serra de Tramuntana. It's the place to spend a few hours when the coast is at its quietest.
Where the mountains meet the sea.
The beach is only part of the appeal. Walk beneath the pines, look back towards the cliffs or take to the water for a different perspective on the landscape. The setting changes as you move through it, giving even a slow afternoon a sense of discovery.
Clear enough to see the seabed.
The water around Formentor is remarkably clear, with rocks and fish visible beneath the surface as soon as you swim out. On a calm day, the turquoise shallows make it particularly tempting to stay in the water a little longer than planned.
