Majorca is a place of endless natural beauty. The coves and bays hidden along the island\u2019s rocky coastline are some of the prettiest in Europe \u2013 a beach lovers paradise. You\u2019ll discover sea caves with centuries-old stalactites, and protected parks by the ocean that will take your breath away. Then there\u2019s Majorca\u2019s rugged interior, a beautiful mountainous landscape filled with craggy peaks, canyons, rivers, and waterfalls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ll want to see it all. But with limited time, there\u2019s only so much you can cram into a single holiday. That\u2019s why we\u2019ve come up with 7 natural wonders in Majorca we know you\u2019ll love. You might not be able to fit them all in \u2013 but that gives you an excuse to come back next year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Es Trenc Beach, south coast<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Es<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Es Trenc is a 2km-long stretch of white sand backed by sand dunes and island fauna. The beach has national park status, so this unspoiled gem is set to stay free from development \u2013 you\u2019ll need to bring your own shade and water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But what Es Trenc lacks in facilities, it makes up for in natural beauty. The soft sand of the beach slopes gently into amazing emerald-green waters. Bring a snorkel, and enjoy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nearby:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Colonia de Saint Jordi is a small beach town a few km from Es Trenc. You\u2019ll find a handful of beaches within walking distance and plenty of options for accommodation. We recommend Apartamentos Andreas<\/a>, a top-rated aparthotel with ocean views.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Serra de Tramuntana, west coast, interior<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Serra<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This dramatic mountain range stretches the length of Majorca\u2019s west coast, forming a significant chunk of the island\u2019s interior. This is where the world\u2019s top cyclists come to train in the off-season \u2013 if you\u2019re an ardent two-wheeler, the Tramuntana mountains are your playground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ll find some of Spain\u2019s best hiking here, too. The Puig De Maria trail is one of the most-family friendly routes, taking you from the town of Pollensa<\/a> to the summit in under an hour. At the top, you\u2019ll be rewarded with breathtaking panoramic views of the bay and mountains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nearby:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Pollensa has a Blue Flag beach to its name, and a Roman town to explore. Port Blue Club Pollentia Resort & Spa<\/a> is one our favourite hotels in the area, a stylish property with a large outdoor pool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Cala Gran, southeast coast<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Cala<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Known as \u2018Calas,\u2019 the coves of Majora are among the most beautiful in the world. Cala Gran is no exception \u2013 this stunning cove in Cala D\u2019or<\/a> can\u2019t be missed on any holiday to the island. You\u2019ll discover a small, but perfectly formed strip of beach, sandwiched between rocky outcrops, home to whitewashed hotels and restaurants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The water here is irresistible, a see-through green made for swimming and snorkelling. It stays shallow a good way out, making it safe for little paddlers. The sand of the beach is soft, and there are two beach cafes serving up seafood and icy refreshments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nearby:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The stylish resort town of Cala D\u2019or has an upmarket feel, but there are plenty of hotels, bars and restaurants to suit all budgets. Our choice of accommodation goes to Cala D\u2019or Playa Apartments<\/a>, a highly rated stay with pools for kids and adults.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Caves of Drach, east coast<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Caves<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Home to one of the biggest underground lakes in the world, the Caves of Drach are one of Majorca\u2019s most spectacular natural attractions. Hop aboard a wooden rowing boat, and float through this vast cave complex, as you look out for giant rocks columns and ancient stalactites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If that wasn\u2019t special enough, your tour will stop midway for a classical music concert. This 10-minute concert performed by a quartet of floating musicians makes for a truly magical experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nearby:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The caves are located in Porto Cristo, a charming fishing village with a Blue Flag beach. Stay at Apartamento Porto Drach<\/a>, a well-reviewed aparthotel with outdoor pool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Torrente de Pareis, northwest<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Torrente<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The impressive Torrente de Pareis canyon descends from the mountains in Escora for 5km until it reaches Sa Calobra Bay. The dry riverbed at the bottom of the canyon forms a trail for hiking, where you\u2019ll pass through narrow channels, and clamber across boulders \u2013 sturdy boots are a must.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the end of the walk, you\u2019ll emerge from the canyon to find Sa Calobra Bay, a pristine sandy beach with shimmering blue water. There\u2019s never been a more welcome dip in the ocean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nearby:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Soller Town is a 40-minute drive from Escora, the start of the hiking trail. For a bit of 5-star luxury, base yourself at Gran Hotel Soller<\/a>, a former palace with exquisite mountain views.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Cap Formentor, north coast<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Cap<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This iconic landmark made famous through TV shows and car ads sits at Majorca\u2019s northernmost tip. A series of hair-raising hairpin bends take you to the cape, where the famous Formentor Lighthouse marks the end of your journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While it\u2019s possible to drive to the cape, those with a nervous disposition may want to make other plans. Luckily, there are boat tours from Alcudia<\/a> that give you an excellent view of the cape and lighthouse towering above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nearby:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Alcudia is the perfect base for exploring Cap Formentor \u2013 you\u2019ll also have some of Majorca\u2019s best beaches on your doorstep, including the picturesque Playa de Alcudia. If you\u2019re after a stay the whole family will love, look no further than Club Mac Alcudia & Waterpark<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. Cala Mondrago, southeast coast<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Cala<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Another of Majorca\u2019s famous \u2018Calas\u2019, Mondrago stands out for its picture-perfect surroundings. Set within a national park, this sandy cove is nothing short of idyllic. The water is a stunning marine blue, shallow, and exceptionally clear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A pine tree forest behind the beach is handy for shade, or you can hire sun beds and umbrellas on the sand. Paddleboats offer a bit of gentle adventure on the ocean, and when it\u2019s time for a break, you can grab a chilled drink from one of the restaurants nearby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
