Things to do in Playa de Muro

Mallorca & Menorca Guide

If we were to show you a photo of Playa de Muro without telling you where the photo was taken, you would perhaps assume it is one of those endless beaches with white sand that the Caribbean is so famous for. But no: Playa de Muro beach is located on Mallorca, and one of the best beaches in the Mediterranean at that. It only takes a few hours on a plane to get there, and there are plenty of ideas and fun activities around to help you enjoy an unforgettable holiday.

Playa de Muro beach: an oasis in the north of Mallorca

 

Offering more than 5 kilometres of fine sand, Mediterranean vegetation and turquoise water, Playa de Muro beach is one of the beaches most frequented by locals. Its climate is mild all year round, especially from May to October, with average temperatures that exceed 20 degrees. Thanks to the natural surroundings and quiet environment, this is known as one of the most unspoilt beaches on Mallorca. A paradise where you can disconnect from it all and immerse yourself in the purest essence of the Mediterranean.

How to get to Playa de Muro beach

 

Getting to Playa de Muro beach is very easy, as it is located less than an hour's drive from the airport. We usually recommend our guests to book a direct transfer from the airport to the hotel in Playa de Muro, which means you can lean back and relax on the sand of this incredible beach in just over 50 minutes.

 

 

Playa de Muro hotels

 

This place has a lot of things to offer its visitors, but it is also one of the most select locations on the island. Here you can find some of the best beach clubs on Mallorca and true oases of relaxation, such as the Zafiro Bahía, our 4-star hotel on Playa de Muro beach with exclusive apartments right on the seafront.

 

For those looking for a different, unique experience there are places such as Can Ribera by Zafiro Hotels, our emblematic boutique hotel in Muro where tradition and modernity come together to create a magical atmosphere in the heart of northern Mallorca.

 

 

Things to do in Playa de Muro

 

Playa de Muro is a very versatile destination, perfect when you want to design a holiday that suits your preferences: a romantic getaway, a relaxing trip with your partner, or a family holiday. Located very near the bustling Playa de Alcúdia and the village Can Picafort, there are plenty of services and activities nearby – the best offer on Mallorca – from which we present the highlights.

 

Playa de Muro

Visit to the Albufera Natural Park in Mallorca

 

One of the things on the to-do list when you visit Playa de Muro is the great natural park S'Albufera on Mallorca, one of the largest wetlands on the island where lovers of nature and birds can enjoy incredible bird watching the in the wild as well as see other species typical of this part of the Mediterranean. The park can be explored on foot or by bike and it is the perfect plan for those travelling with children, avoiding the mid-day heat in the summer months.

 

 

Horse riding along Playa de Muro beach

 

Near the Playa de Muro beach there are several horse ranches that organise beautiful equestrian excursions through different parts of northern Mallorca. One of them located in Can Picafort – some five minutes by car from our hotel Zafiro Bahía – where you will be taken through Mallorcan pine forests, along the sandy beach and even on a visit to the ancient necropolis Son Real, between Son Bauló beach and Son Serra de Marina beach.

 

 

Paella with sea views

 

If you want to enjoy Playa de Muro like the locals do, sign up for a paella at one of the many beach bars you find along the five kilometres of sand. Some of them are on the seafront promenade and others are located directly on the sand. Forget about your bikini plans for now and order a dessert, because several beach bars let you try traditional sweets such as filled ensaimada or the famous Lloseta cardenal.

 

 

Surf lessons in Playa de Muro

 

The waves that form in some parts of Playa de Muro are ideal if you want to get started with surfing, kitesurfing or windsurfing. There are several clubs in Mallorca that offer classes on the beach, or that let you choose between group lessons and individual lessons. If you prefer something calmer you can also try paddle surfing, especially in the early morning, or late afternoon, when the sea is calmer.

 

 

A day at the water park

 

If you are travelling to Playa de Muro with kids, this is the perfect plan: spend an entire day at the famous Hidropark in Alcúdia. They will be so happy! Wave pool, dozens of huge, multi-coloured slides, a specific area with games and pools for the smallest ones, relax areas so you can take it easy in the sun yourself, and even a miniature golf course.

 

At Zafiro Hotels we want you to make the most of your next holiday, which is why we help you plan your activities ahead of time. To do so, we have created a system where you can easily select your flight, hotel and lots of fun activities: a hot air balloon ride, a visit to the Rafa Nadal Museum, or a catamaran cruise along the entire north coast with lunch included... Plans that, without doubt, will make your stay with us something truly unique.
