Where can I rent umbrellas and loungers on the best beaches around Palma and the island?

For a relaxing day by the sea with both sun and shade, beaches like Es Trenc, Cala Mondrago, and Formentor are ideal. These spots offer rental services for umbrellas and loungers, so you won’t have to worry about bringing your own gear. Es Trenc’s long stretch of white sand and crystal-clear waters is one of the most popular, and plenty of rental stalls are scattered along the beach to help you settle in comfortably. Cala Mondrago, nestled within a natural park, combines shaded pine areas with sun-drenched sand, perfect for switching between lounging in the warmth and resting in the shade.

Closer to Palma, beaches such as Cala Major and Playa de Palma provide well-equipped facilities, including loungers and umbrellas for rent, often accompanied by nearby cafés and beach clubs where you can enjoy local dishes like pa amb oli or a refreshing Hierbas cocktail. Formentor beach, on the northern tip of the island, offers stunning views and rental options under the pine trees lining the lagoon, giving that rare chance to enjoy shade near the water. These beaches tend to be busiest in high season, so arriving earlier in the day or aiming for shoulder seasons like late spring or early autumn can make your lounger search much easier and more pleasant.

Public transport, like the TIB buses running along the Ma-13 to Alcudia or the Ma-19 by the east coast, provide access to many of these beaches without a car. The island's network ensures you can explore different coves and beaches for a day of sunbathing, swimming, and relaxation with all the comforts you need close at hand.
