About Playa de Muro

Playa de Muro is the beach you don't expect in Mallorca — six kilometers of white, fine sand, turquoise water so shallow that you can wade out a hundred meters, and behind it a pine forest that provides natural shade: a Caribbean backdrop in the western Mediterranean that captivates year after year. The beach is divided into four sections: Sector I to IV, with the first two being touristically developed and the back sectors III and IV becoming wilder and more natural — here, the nature park S'Albufera borders directly on the beach, and flamingos wade in the lagoons behind the dunes. This combination of dream beach and nature reserve is unique in the Balearic Islands. The water quality is consistently awarded the Blue Flag, and the extremely shallow water makes Playa de Muro the safest bathing beach for families in all of Mallorca. Even in the height of summer, visitors are spread out over the enormous area, so it never feels overcrowded — quite the opposite of Palma's city beaches. The hotels along the beach have massively upgraded in recent years: several adults-only resorts and boutique hotels now offer a level that competes with the best addresses on the island. At the same time, the typical Mallorcan chiringuitos remain on the beach, where you can eat paella barefoot and daydream the afternoon away.

4 travel tips for Playa de Muro

Insider knowledge that makes your holiday better.

Explore Sectors III and IV on foot or by bike — the natural sections are the most beautiful and offer free beach enjoyment without sunbed fees.

Go early in the morning to the nature park S'Albufera — entry is free, but the number of visitors is limited. Bring binoculars for flamingo watching.

Check the water temperature — from June to September, the shallow water is almost bathwater warm, perfect for long beach days with children.

Rent a bike and cycle to Alcúdia — the flat bike path along the bay is family-friendly and leads to the historic old town.
