Stretching across three kilometres of the northern coast close to the town of Muro near Port Alcúdia, Playa de Muro is one of the longest beaches in Mallorca. And with its soft white sand and shallow turquoise water, it is easily one of the most picturesque on the island. Popular with locals and visitors alike, Playa de Muro has easy access, good facilities and fine restaurants.
TOP 3 ACTIVITIES
Enjoy a day at the beach
Playa de Muro is the main attraction all year round, especially during summer when you can relax on the sand and swim in the clear Mediterranean. As a Blue‑Flag beach with shallow water, this is a popular spot for families and children. Sun loungers and umbrellas are available for hire, plus there is a car park on‑site if you prefer to bring your own. Play volleyball, beach ball or have a go at one of the water sports on offer, including sailing, windsurfing and stand‑up paddle.
Kitesurfing
For beginners or professionals, Playa de Muro is a great kitesurfing spot with lessons and courses available at various centres.
Visit S’Albufera
Walkers, hikers and birdwatchers should take a trip to S’Albufera, the peaceful natural park and the largest wetland in the Balearic Islands. Situated between Muro and Sa Pobla, the vast 2000 hectares of marsh and grassland attract all kinds of birds, including peregrines, black vultures and kingfishers. Many migrating birds use the park as a pitstop between Africa and Europe. There are also four trails for cyclists and walkers to explore the park and enjoy the natural beauty and scenery that dates back to ancient times.
