The World’s 50 Best Beaches has today published its annual report and in the top ten is a Mallorcan beach and also making the top 50 is Ses Illetas in Formentera. The beach in Mallorca, which is ranked number 9, is Es Caló des Moro, the scene of one of the anti-mass tourism protest last summer.

Described by the organisation as a true "hidden gem," Es Caló des Moro is praised for its small stretch of sand and crystal-clear waters. Spanning just 40 metres, this beach has become one of the most sought-after virgin beaches by tourists visiting the island, offering a secluded and pristine environment.

One of the beach's notable advantages is its tranquility. Unlike many other popular beaches, Es Caló des Moro lacks installations such as sun loungers, parasols, or beach bars, ensuring a peaceful experience for its visitors. This absence of commercial distractions contributes to the beach's serene atmosphere, making it an ideal spot for relaxation. Topping the list is Cala Goloritze in Italy followed by Fteri Beach in Greece.
