In the north of Mallorca, where the Serra de Tramuntana begins to drift away from the coastline and the rural landscape opens up to the sea, lies one of the most spectacular stretches of coast in the Balearic Islands. Playa de Muro is, for many visitors, an unexpected discovery: a beach stretching for more than five kilometres, with shallow crystal-clear waters, fine white sand, natural dunes and the beautiful Parc Natural de s'Albufera just behind it.
What makes this destination more than just an exceptional beach is everything that surrounds it. Just a few kilometres away is Alcudia, one of Mallorca's best-preserved medieval towns, home to one of the island's most renowned weekly markets. Port d'Alcudia is the perfect starting point for boat trips across the bay. And directly behind the beach lies the Parc Natural de s'Albufera, a UNESCO-recognised biosphere reserve and one of the most important wetlands in the western Mediterranean.
This guide explores everything you can see and do in Playa de Muro and the surrounding area, with practical information to help you make the most of your stay from day one.
