7 Of The Best Beaches In Mallorca, Spain

My days in Mallorca were spent the only rational way: sunbathing, swimming, and sipping on sangria.

7 Of The Best Beaches In Mallorca, Spain

Last summer I studied abroad in Palma de Mallorca, but did a little more than just study. Luckily, I was able to explore a lot of the island and its hidden gems. Although we spent a lot of time lounging at the closest beach to campus, we were able to make our way to some of the more scenic areas as well. If Mallorca is known for one thing, it's the beautiful beaches (and Magaluf, but we'll save that for another time).

1. Playa de Illetas

This beach is small but quickly became one our favorites. There's a bus that takes you here from central Palma, so it's very convenient to get to. Not to mention there's a gelato place right on the beach, that makes for a perfect snack to cool down with.

2. Port de Sóller

We took a day trip to Sóller, where we then took the Tranvía de Sóller to one of the cutest beaches in Mallorca. On the port, you can rent paddle boards, boats, and take part in other fun water activities. The surrounding area is filled with cafes. This is was one of my favorites because the area has so much charm and life to it, and the surroundings are stunning.

3. Anima Beach Palma

This beach is not the most special, by any means, but I'm including it because of location. Anima Beach is the beach we would walk to after class, because of its close proximity to campus and the town. We could always count on Anima Beach to be filled with people, which made it more fun. This picture is of the walkway right behind the beach.

4. Es Trenc

Es Trenc is one of the most famous beaches, located in the southern part of Mallorca. It is somewhat secluded so there are no hotels or resorts around, which makes it very peaceful.

5. Cala Llombards

I absolutely loved this beach. We arrived shortly after a storm had just ended so it was very quiet at the time. The beach has a white sandy area with chairs as well as open space to lay out on your towel. It also has rocky sections that you can walk out to. On the other side is an area where people can cliff jump.

6. Hidden area around the corner from Cala Llombards

Okay, I'm sorry, I don't know the name of this one, but it was one of the reasons I loved Cala Llombards so much. In the same residential area, if you drive up a hill and follow some signs you'll come to see a pathway in between a house and wooded area. Follow the steps all the way down, and you find this magical place. This is where I fell completely in love with Mallorca. It deserves three photos from three different angles. You're welcome.

7. Cala de Deià

Last but most definitely not least, is Cala de Deià. This one takes a hike to get there, but it's worth it. Once there, you can swim out and climb up to even more incredible views. There is also a spot that people can jump from, although we were told it was not recommended (like that stopped us).

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
