Surf in the Bay of Alcudia

Very near our hotels in Puerto de Alcudia – Zafiro Tropic and Zafiro Palace Alcudia – and Playa de Muro – Zafiro Bahía – is where the most spectacular stretch for surfing in the north of Mallorca is located. This is right where the bay of Alcudia opens up, where you find some of the best beaches on the island, and some of the most suitable spots for surfing.

• Playa de Alcudia and Playa de Muro

For those who would like to get started in the world of surfing, Alcudia and Playa de Muro have everything you need. Here you can find shops and professional surf schools where you can rent a board and even book a group class, or a completely individualised class.

The waves are not always perfect, but the beaches are ideal for beginners because they don't have any dangerous currents. Also, the sea floor slopes gently providing waves that you can surf, but with a frequency that allows you to rest in between, and surf safely.

• Son Serra de Marina

The benchmark surf beach in the north of Mallorca is Son Serra de Marina, a 7 km-long, practically unspoilt stretch of sand that is easily accessible and where you can enjoy several different surf spots, such as ‘Parada del Bus’, ‘Compuerta’, ‘Dos Playas’, ‘Berberechos’...

One of the most famous spots is called ‘El Bunker’, and this is a meeting place for those who want to enjoy classic surfing: the most transparent sport in the world, in the words of the great Drew Kampion, who in his book Stoked (1997) defined it as follows:

“Surfing is magic – riding echoes of cosmic energy, transmitted through vast tracks of ocean, at the fringes of continents". 

Mallorca's East Coast

If you follow the coast to Levante area, before reaching Cala Ratjada, you’ll find one of the most spectacular surfing beaches on the island surrounded by stunning scenery.

• Cala Mesquida

Cala Mesquida is part of the Levante de Mallorca Natural Park, and there are always good waves to catch here. It's an ideal beach for experienced surfers, as the currents can be strong at times.

Remember that if you'd like to stay in this beautiful cove, it's also where our Zafiro Cala Mesquida is located: the best place to relax after an intense day of surfing.

• Canyamel

Canyamel beach is a privileged spot, especially in spring and autumn when the waves are really impressive along this coastline. It’s an easy beach to access and many of the surfing schools organise their courses here during the months leading up to summer.
