This sandy beach stretches over a kilometer long and is nestled in a romantic and lush green bay. It is characterized by its serene atmosphere, clean, clear water, and lack of rocks. The beach is surrounded by pine forests, shrubs, and a few buildings, which provide a charming natural backdrop.

The beach is well-attended and offers a wide range of activities for different types of visitors. It is suitable for families due to its gentle slope and calm waters.

Excursion boats also stop at a nearby pier, allowing visitors to explore the surrounding areas.

Parking is available near the beach, although the area may not be suitable for all types of vehicles, and prices can vary. Because the beach is a popular destination, it can get crowded, especially during peak hours. To avoid the crowd, it's advisable to visit early in the morning.

The route to the beach is scenic, often featuring goats along the way, adding to the overall enjoyable experience of visiting Platja de Formentor. However, due to the narrow, winding, and steep nature of the road, it is often recommended to reach the beach by booking an excursion from the port of Alcúdia or Pollença.
