Over two million Brits visit Majorca every year and it can sometimes be hard to find a quiet spot to relax. The island is known for its range of beautiful beaches and great weather, attracting people from around the world.
Son Baulo Beach, located in the Santa Margalida area, offers a less crowded haven for tourists. It boasts white sand and clear blue waters, making it the perfect spot for families to enjoy. It is a popular beach for snorkelling and swimming due to the moderate waves and gradual shoreline depth.
The beach is surrounded by high mountains and pine forests. The outfall of the Torrent de Son Baulo River is also located behind the beach.
Son Baulo is also a popular area for hikers, with a number of trails which lead into the Son Real Natural Park. Visitors are able to explore the natural beauty of the area through routes of varying difficulty, as reported by the Majorca Daily Bulletin.
The beach benefits from being located close to several restaurants and cafes. There are also some supermarkets for visitors to collect essential supplies such as water and sun cream.

It has a number of flawless reviews on TripAdvisor. One visitor wrote: “We stayed in the Sun Baulo hotel right on this beach. It is natural and unspoilt with a lagoon and nature reserve.
“The sand is soft and golden and extremely safe for children. It has a lifeguard. Also a wonderful beach bar which does amazing drinks and cocktails.
“It also has some spectacular statues which go all along the flat walkway into can Picafort. There is also disabled access. Can’t fault this beach at all.”
A second said: “Stayed in the exagon and the son baulo and this is basically a little private beach for the few hotels on the son baulo end of cam picafort. In my opinion it’s the best beach in the area I even preferred it over playa de Muro.”
