When it comes to the world’s best beaches, you’d probably expect to find them in far-flung destinations like Thailand, the Maldives or the Caribbean. All of these places are wonderful to visit, but are often once-in-a-lifetime holidays.
Yet there’s one beach which is in easy reach of Manchester that’s been named the best in the world. Playa de Muro is found on the northern coast of the Spanish island of Majorca in the Mediterranean.
It takes around two hours and 40 minutes to fly there direct from Manchester Airport. According to Skyscanner, there are flights available from Manchester Airport to Palma, Majorca in July from as little as £30, with return tickets available for a similar price.
