Summer in Mallorca hits differently. Long days, golden light, and the kind of beach energy that makes you want to stay salty from sunrise to sunset. We recently shared our updated list of favourite beaches (if you missed it, go check it out!) and while lying on the sand with a book in one hand and a cold drink in the other is always a good idea, let’s be honest: most of the time, you’ll want to be in the water. And lucky for you, Mallorca is basically a giant playground for water lovers.

Water sports in Mallorca

Whether you’re a total beginner or someone who’s always chasing the next thrill, Mallorca is the perfect place to dive into water sports. Calm bays, windy beaches, clear turquoise water, everything’s set up for you to either try something new or level up your current game. Here’s a quick look at some of the island’s must-try water adventures:

Jet skis: adrenaline meets sea spray

Feel the need for speed? Renting a jet ski is the ultimate way to explore the coastline from a new perspective and get a serious thrill while doing it. You can join guided tours or ride solo (with license), zipping past cliffs, coves and hidden spots you’d never reach on foot.

Surf & kitesurf: for windy days and wave chasers

No, you don’t have to go to Hawaii. When the wind picks up, head to spots like Can Pastilla or Son Serra de Marina, they’re known for delivering solid conditions for both kitesurfing and regular surfing. You’ll find plenty of schools offering lessons and equipment rentals if you’re just getting started.

Velomares (aka pedal boats): old-school fun with the crew

This one’s for everyone. Whether you’re with friends, your kids or your partner, hopping on a velomar (yes, those classic pedal boats) is pure nostalgic fun. Glide through calm waters, jump in for a swim and take your time.

Paddleboarding: peaceful and picturesque

Stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) is your go-to if you’re after something active and relaxing. Cruise along the coast at your own pace, peek into sea caves, or catch the sunset from the water. Bonus points for early risers: sunrise paddles are seriously magical.

Stay at Nakar Hotel and let us take care of you

After a full day out in the water, there’s nothing better than coming back to your base in Palma and if you’re staying at Nakar Hotel, you already know you’re in the right place. Rooftop views, a chilled-out spa, dreamy beds, and the perfect cocktail to toast another epic summer day? Say no more.

Whether you’re riding the waves or just floating your way through the season, Mallorca’s got the water sport for you and Nakar is here to make it easy, comfy and unforgettable.
