Mallorca Beaches in Numbers

Mallorca is one of the most popular destinations for beach holidays in the Mediterranean, and the sheer variety of its coastal stretches is best captured in figures. The mallorca.com beach database records a total of 250 beaches on the island, providing a structured overview of the location, facilities and character of each stretch. A key criterion for many holidaymakers is accessibility without a car: 192 of the recorded beaches have a bus connection. Accessibility for people with disabilities is also becoming increasingly important, which is why the database documents a corresponding designation for 64 beaches. Those who prefer something more unconventional will also find 18 beaches with a nudist (FKK) designation. In addition to these features, the database also distinguishes between beach types, such as sandy, pebble or rocky beaches, as well as by the length of the coastal stretches. The following tables summarise these aspects in a structured way and show just how varied Mallorca's beaches can be – from short, hidden coves to sandy beaches stretching for kilometres. The 'Data basis:' line at the bottom of the page provides information on the date of the underlying survey.
