6. Es Trenc
Play the excellent courses of Son Antem and then head to Es Trenc, one of the beaches that have given Mallorca its “paradise on earth” title.

Surrounded by a lush pine forest and protected as a Natural Area of Special Interest, this cove is perfect for scuba diving, anchoring boats or simply enjoying a walk by the sea. For the curious, a visit to the Mare de Déu Cave is a must.
