Summer is slowly slipping away, and we are already in mid-August, with September just around the corner. A suffocating feeling, isn’t it? However, the reality is reassuring: there’s no need to worry, because there are still a few summer days ahead of us that we can enjoy to the fullest. For those who have run out of ideas or are simply looking for new options to spend the summer in Mallorca, today we are sharing a list of the ten best activities in Mallorca to do in summer.

Mallorca’s beach clubs turn a simple day in the sun into a truly special experience. Here you can unwind in an elegant setting, relax on luxurious sun loungers, enjoy culinary delights in restaurants, linger in trendy bars, and experience many other amenities. Some of these oases even offer refreshing pools, soothing massages, and other wellness treatments, accompanied by laid-back chill-out music and much more.

Escape the hustle and bustle and let yourself be enchanted by the wide range of offerings. We recommend Gran Folies or Mhares. The Mhares Beach Club was built on the rocky coast and offers a breathtaking view of the sea. This popular spot invites you to spend the day, watch the sunset, or simply stop by for dinner. The swimming pool and sun loungers with magnificent views provide a great way to cool off on Mallorca’s hot summer days. Insider tip: Simply walk down the rocky steps to reach the beautiful and popular stone beach called “Delta”. This insider beach is very popular with locals.

The Gran Folies Beach Club is one of the oldest and most exclusive beach clubs in Mallorca and definitely a “must-try”. It is one of those places where high quality and standards have been maintained over the years. Overlooking the crystal-clear, turquoise water of Cala Llamp, the club sits right by the sea on a rocky slope and embodies the very definition of paradise. Here you can look forward to a spectacular restaurant area as well as a pool and sunbathing area with sun mats, to enjoy the perfect summer day in an incomparable setting with an exquisite atmosphere and excellent traditional and international cuisine.

A drive through the bends of the Sierra de Tramuntana is simply impressive. If you cover this route in the cars of your dreams, the experience becomes even more exciting. The MA-10 is one of the most impressive roads you can experience in Mallorca. This breathtaking route runs through the entire Serra de Tramuntana, a mountain range in the west of the island that has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The road begins in Andratx and winds through the mountains, past the most picturesque villages, all the way to Pollensa. Here, breathtaking views of the sea and mountains await you, as well as many hidden treasures just waiting to be discovered. To find out all the tips, simply read our special post about the Ma-10.

With a total of 262 beaches stretching around the entire island, Mallorca offers a true paradise for all sun worshippers, sand lovers, and sea enthusiasts. Here you’ll find a wide range of beach options—from expansive coastal stretches with plenty of facilities for a family day out to hidden coves where you’ll usually encounter fewer people. Our absolute favorite: Es Trenc. The beautiful beach of Es Trenc stretches 1,900 meters in length and is 22 meters wide. This means the number of bathers outside peak season remains pleasant and not overcrowded.

The waves are usually moderate, making it a great choice for families with children. All the usual beach services are available, including lifeguards, toilets, and showers. If you like, you can rent sun loungers and umbrellas, and there is also a selection of bars and beach kiosks to take care of refreshments. Es Trenc is definitely a wonderful place to enjoy relaxed and unforgettable beach days. More information here.
