Two of the island's favourite places for water sports are the Bay of Alcúdia and the Bay of Pollença, which are both situated close together.

If you are planning a trip to Mallorca, one of the best places to stay, is The Astoria Playa hotel. An adults-only hotel in Alcúdia that has become a reference hotel for both tourists and locals alike.

Bay of Alcúdia

The Bay of Alcúdia is one place that  is always appreciated  its visitors, renowned  for its idyllic beaches and its impressive mountainous backdrop.

Also, here you will find the emblematic town of Alcúdia, famed for its medieval architecture, the beauty of its buildings luring you to take long walks exploring its historic centre.

Pollensa Bay

Another of the high points of Mallorca is the Bay of Pollensa, home to many film locations, where the mountains of the  Sierra de Tramuntana fall steeply  into the Mediterranean Sea. The bay at Pollensa is extremely popular for its  prevailing onshore winds  which make it perfect  for water sports.

What water sports can I do in Mallorca?

There are so many to choose from, but we have narrowed them down to the following recommendations:

Sailing

Mallorca is perfect for sailing, a perfect way to discover its beautiful coastline.  Catamaran, speedboat, or sailboats are just some of the options. You can take courses, of varying levels of difficulty, to help you make the most of this water sport.

Sailing is a great way to explore the many coves and beautiful beaches Mallorca has to offer,  simply manoeuvre yourself into your chosen spot and drop anchor,  leaving yourselves free to swim and explore the clear waters.

Kitesurf

Kitesurfing is an action-packed water sport that is enjoying growing popularity in Mallorca. The hotspots of the kitesurfing scene are in the north of the island at the bay of Alcúdia and  Bay of Pollença due to the prevailing onshore wind conditions.  The colours of the kites are a spectacular sight to be seen on a breezy day.

Kitesurfing is perfect if you dare to  skim along the Mediterranean Sea with  just the help of a kite.

Diving and Snorkelling

If you are curious about the flora and fauna of the Mediterranean Sea, there is nothing better than diving or snorkelling.

Diving in Mallorca is an experience that you will never forget. Immerse yourself in the wonderful world beneath the waves, here you will be able to admire giant groupers, like swarms of gold, and  red horned corals that will leave you speechless.

If you are going to stay several days in Alcúdia, it is advisable to take a short diving course, usually on the final day of the course you will head  further out to sea, where you will get up close to barracudas, cuttlefish, and sea anemones.

On the other hand, if you aren´t keen on being in deep waters, the rocky coves in Mallorca are great for snorkelling. A great way to discover the impressive flora and fauna of the region that lies just below  the surface of the sea.
