Sail Into Summer – Boat Charter to the 5 Best Beaches in South Mallorca

Portals Vells – Soft Sands and Secret Coves

Your Mallorca beach boat charter begins with the serene and sheltered shores of Portals Vells, a local favourite for good reason. The bay forms three fingers of calm, shallow water, each lined with soft golden sand and surrounded by pine forest. The main beach is perfect for a refreshing swim or to simply relax in the sun with a drink in hand, while the two smaller coves offer more privacy and peaceful surroundings.

Those in the know often swim over to the nearby sandstone caves carved into the cliffs on the left — a short and worthwhile excursion for anyone interested in Mallorca’s natural history and dramatic coastal scenery. Whether you’re sunbathing on the bow or wading through shallow emerald water, Portals Vells sets the tone for a day of barefoot luxury.

Santa Ponça – Lively Shores and some Laid-Back Charm

Sailing west from Portals Vells brings you to Santa Ponça, a broad and inviting bay with a long sandy beach that blends natural beauty with modern comforts. If your group is looking for a spot to go ashore for beach bars, paddle boards, or café lunch stops, this is a perfect place to drop anchor for a couple of hours.

Santa Ponça’s versatility is what makes it stand out on a Mallorca beaches boat charter. You can take a refreshing swim before heading into town, or stay on board and enjoy the views of forested cliffs, sparkling hotels, and a busy shoreline that still feels intimate from the water. It’s a great mix of atmosphere and amenities — just enough buzz without ever losing that holiday calm.

Cala Fornells – Tranquil, Timeless Beauty

Not far from Santa Ponça lies the postcard-perfect Cala Fornells, a tiny cove framed by dramatic cliffs and pine trees, with emerald green water that practically begs you to dive in. The beach itself is smaller and rockier than others on this list, but the bay is ideal for swimming, snorkelling, and soaking up the sun in total tranquillity.

Aboard your yacht, you’ll have front-row access to the best views of the cove’s natural rock terraces and charming architecture that peeks through the trees. There’s something old-world and romantic about Cala Fornells — perhaps it’s the way the cliffs wrap around you like an embrace, or the way the sunlight filters through the pines onto the sea. Either way, it’s a peaceful, rejuvenating stop on your tour of the best beaches in South Mallorca.

Camp De Mar – Elegant Relaxation

As you round the next headland, the wide bay of Camp De Mar opens up — and it’s a showstopper. Backed by steep hills and lined with refined villas, this bay is known for its calm, clear waters and understated glamour. The large sandy beach is ideal for swimming straight from the yacht or going ashore for a barefoot stroll.

Of special note is Illeta, the island restaurant connected to the shore by a narrow wooden bridge — a signature feature of Camp De Mar. Whether you stop for a leisurely Mediterranean lunch or simply cruise past for a few photos, it adds an unmistakable flair to this beach experience. Alternatively, if you’re seeking something quieter, we can anchor near the small cove to the left of the main beach, where you can enjoy a more secluded swim in shallower, sun-warmed waters.

Camp De Mar is all about laid-back elegance — it’s one of the finest places to pause, refresh, and take in just how good life can be at sea.

Andratx – Coastal Colour and Quiet Bays

You’ll end your Mallorca beach boat charter in the distinctive region of Andratx, where pine-covered hills meet the deep blue sea in dramatic fashion. While Port d’Andratx itself is known for its marina and restaurants, it’s the nearby hidden coves that truly shine for beach lovers.

We can anchor just outside the port in one of these peaceful bays for a final swim or sunbathing session. The water here is crystal clear and slightly deeper — excellent for a dive off the side of the yacht. Looking back toward the coast, the architectural gems perched on the slopes provide the perfect view to end your journey. If you’re feeling indulgent, you might opt to head ashore for a drink at Tim’s Bar, a local favourite with a lively but relaxed atmosphere — a great contrast to the wild calm of the beaches you’ve visited.
