There are so many reasons to visit Mallorca, but for a lot of people the island’s beautiful beaches and postcard-perfect varied coastline appear at the top of their list. So putting together our Guru’s list of the best beach hotels on Mallorca has been a pleasure as well as a challenge.

There are beaches perfect for kite-surfing, stretches of coast much loved by divers and snorkelers, party beaches and those on which perfect turquoise seas lap with a relaxing regularity.
