The best beaches around Andratx
The coast of Andratx is one of Mallorca's most stunning treasures. Framed by the dramatic beginnings of the Serra de Tramuntana mountains with their rugged cliffs and Mediterranean pine forests, a sequence of beautiful coves and pristine beaches create a range of idyllic areas where you can relax and forget all about the rest of the world.
Below are some of the best coves and beaches nearest to our 5-star hotel in Andratx, all of them recommended for a visit during your next holiday.
- Camp de Mar Beach
Camp de Mar is the nearest beach to Paguera, around 4 km from the centre of Andratx and just a 5-minute walk from our new luxury hotel in Mallorca. The wide range of services it offers and the beautiful white sand make it ideal for basking in the sun and one of the most popular local beaches. There is also a small island just off the coast with a fantastic restaurant, connected to the land by a lovely bridge.
- Ses Dones Beach
The rocky terrain has led it to be known as the “Roca” Beach in Camp de Mar. It has become a social media sensation, celebrated for its breathtakingly clear waters and two iconic footbridges that stretch over the sea—a magnet for selfie enthusiasts from near and far. Instead of sand, the beach consists of pebbles and rocks, making water shoes a practical companion for anyone eager to enjoy a comfortable swim in its inviting waters.
- Cala en Cranc
Distinguished by its stunningly clear waters and natural crescent shape, Cala Cranc is beautifully framed by dramatic cliffs, offering some of the finest views in the area. Nestled between Ses Dones Beach and Cala Blanca Beach, it measures only 150 metres in length, making it ideal for travellers seeking a peaceful escape for a refreshing dip and serenity far from the busier tourist beaches.
- Cala Blanca
This tiny and secluded cove on the Andratx coast is a natural refuge that can only be reached after a challenging hike or boat trip. But the reward is well worth the effort, given that the end point is a beautiful cove with a pebble beach surrounded by pine trees with crystal-clear waters, making it ideal for scuba diving
- Cala Llamp
Cala Llamp is a small rocky cove located at the base of the “Sa Talia” mountain, just a 10-minute drive from our hotel in Camp de Mar. Its smooth rock formations let you lounge in the water while enjoying spectacular views of Dragonera Island. The cove also features several chill-out bars, perfect for a drink before heading back to the hotel.
- Cala de Egos
One of the most exclusive beaches, thanks to its challenging land access. Accessible only by sea, this secluded paradise offers turquoise waters and a peaceful escape from the crowds. Its isolation makes it a perfect haven for diving, swimming, or simply drifting with the waves—a pristine sanctuary where time seems to stand still.
- Cala en Basset
Located near Sant Elm, Cala en Basset offers a different type of holiday experience. Requiring a 2km walk through the pine forests, on arrival visitors appreciate the rugged terrain, total silence and a strange type of sand that is like a kind of natural mud bath. It takes a bit of effort to get there, but it’s well worth it.
A boat trip along the coast
Some of the coves on this list are quite a way off the beaten path, hidden between pine forests and steep cliffs. For those that are hard to reach by land, arriving by sea becomes the easiest way to visit.
The best way to do this is with a trip on an electric llaüt, a traditional Mallorcan boat converted into a modern, silent, environmentally friendly sailing experience. Departing from Port d'Andratx, you can discover the southwest coast of Mallorca at a leisurely pace aboard our llaüt, allowing a deeper appreciation and connection with the scenery and greater enjoyment of the luxury of time and peacefulness. From Camp de Mar to the Malgrats Islands, enjoy unique scenery that can only really be appreciated from the sea.
Enjoy a full day in secluded coves, swimming in crystal-clear waters and savouring a delicious meal on board while being caressed by the gentle Mediterranean breeze. And to make the experience even more magical, stay to watch the sun slowly descend and disappear over the horizon, adding shades of gold and copper to the views of the sea. A wonderful experience to end a magnificent summer day.
The Sailing Days experience is only for Zafiro Palace Andratx guests and must be booked in advance through the hotel concierge team. The trips take place at different times, meaning they also offer different kinds of experiences:
- Morning trip: from 10am to 2pm (4 hours)
- Sunset trip: from 7pm to 9:30pm (2.5 hours)
- Full day: from 10am to 6pm (8 hours)
