Platja de Formentor
Platja de Formentor, Carrer Zona Formentor, 34, 07460 Pollença, Illes Balears, Spain
Platja de Formentor is a picture‑postcard crescent of fine sand and clear turquoise water on the Formentor peninsula near Pollença, set beneath pine‑clad cliffs and ideal for swimming, snorkelling and soaking up the scenery; it’s reached by a winding scenic road or by seasonal boat services.
What Makes It Special
The beach’s dramatic setting — a sheltered, pine‑backed bay with crystal waters and sweeping views towards the Cap de Formentor headland and lighthouse — makes it one of Mallorca’s most iconic and photographed spots.
Insider Tips
Arrive early (before 10:00) or take the seasonal bus/boat from Port de Pollença or Alcúdia to avoid very limited parking and crowds; facilities are basic and access is not wheelchair‑friendly, so bring water, sun protection and sturdy footwear.
