Description

Playa Maioris is a wild, rocky cove along the dramatic cliff coastline of Llucmajor in the south of Mallorca.

Rock, Water, Stillness

Sand is scarce here — Playa Maioris is all rock and stone, set within a rugged cliff landscape. The water is crystal clear, and the views from above across the cove and open sea are sweeping. Those who make it down to the water's edge will find several spots tucked between the rocks. Shade only appears in the afternoon, behind a large boulder. Sun loungers and facilities are nowhere to be found — and that's very much the character of this cove.

Snorkelling and Swimming

Underwater, Playa Maioris truly comes into its own: fish, crabs and rocky walls make it a rewarding snorkelling spot. The water is calm enough for swimming, though water shoes are strongly recommended due to sea urchins. There are rocks to jump from, too. The exposed position also makes it a fine vantage point for sunsets.

Getting There & the Descent

The cove is located at Carrer Racó de la Torre 13 in Llucmajor. The path down to the water winds over rocks, sand and scrub — the descent is moderately challenging, and the climb back up is considerably more demanding. If you have limited mobility or heavy kit to carry, it's worth bearing that in mind. Arriving by car is the most straightforward option.
