Which bus should I take to reach the best beaches from Palma?

For those setting out from Palma and keen on visiting stunning beaches, the extensive TIB bus network is a reliable option. For example, to soak up the sun at Es Trenc, a famously unspoiled stretch of sand on the south coast, you can catch a direct bus from Palma’s main bus station. Similarly, Cala Mondrago, nestled within a natural park on the southeast, is accessible by bus routes that run regularly, especially in summer.

The Ma-15 and Ma-19 roads link Palma with gateways to several coves and beaches, and the buses often follow these scenic routes. While timetables vary by season, coastal buses run more frequently in the summer months, so planning your departure accordingly is wise. For quieter times, checking the official TIB website or local station postings will ensure you know the latest schedules.

If you’re aiming for the northern beaches like Formentor or the charming coves near Pollenca, bus options are available though less frequent, so setting out early helps. And if you ever feel unsure, locals in Palma or the station attendants are hospitable and willing to share tips. Overall, buses here make the island’s best shores accessible without a car, combining efficiency with the chance to enjoy Mallorca’s beautiful landscapes en route.
