Operated by Myriam Gardom Photography · Bookable on Viator

A photo session in Mallorca feels like a mini holiday plan. You’re not just showing up and hoping for good shots; you get a private shoot in some of the island’s most photogenic corners, with easy communication in English and Spanish and a guide who helps you move naturally.

What I like most is the variety: you can build your photos around the sea, dunes, pine trees, mountains, or classic town streets. The other win is the payoff after the session: you receive 20–50 edited digital images via a private online gallery. One possible drawback is that it depends on good weather, so you’ll want flexible timing if skies turn gloomy.

A private Mallorca shoot that starts with the right location

Private Mallorca Photoshoot - Palma & North Beaches options - A private Mallorca shoot that starts with the right location
This is a private photoshoot built around your preferred look, not a generic package. The session can run from 30 minutes to about 2 hours, so you can keep it quick and focused or take more time for outfit changes and multiple spots along the same area.

Your photographer, Myriam Gardom, is the key to why this works. You’re not stuck decoding poses alone. The shoot is designed so you can feel at ease, get direction when needed, and still end up with photos that look like you actually belong in the moment.

And yes, location matters here. Mallorca’s north coast offers a mix of settings in a relatively short distance: sandy beaches with dunes and rock formations, quiet coves with pine trees, and seaside promenades with mountains and sailing boats in the background. If you’re hoping for a real vacation keepsake, this is a smart way to get it—without wasting half your trip hunting for the best spot to stand.

Your meeting-point menu across Palma and the north beaches

Instead of a fixed route, you choose your backdrop. You can pick a favorite location along Mallorca’s northern coast, including areas around Pollensa, Alcúdia, and Can Picafort. Or you can go for a different vibe with Mallorca Old Town—useful if you want the “classic streets and architecture” look.

You’ll then meet at one of the listed meeting points. The good news: these spots are accessible by car and public transport, and some have free parking nearby. The practical downside: because you’re choosing specific meeting points, you’ll want to plan how you’ll get there (especially if you’re traveling without a rental car).

Son Baulo to Na Patana: dunes, a torrent, and beach-to-beach variety

Private Mallorca Photoshoot - Palma & North Beaches options - Son Baulo to Na Patana: dunes, a torrent, and beach-to-beach variety
If you choose the Can Picafort option, the meeting point is Son Baulo, with a photoshoot path that runs between Son Baulo and Na Patana beach. This area is full of visual variety in a way that works well for couples and families—because you’re not limited to one single-looking background.

Here’s what you can expect visually:

  • Sea views and open sky
  • Sandy beach scenes
  • A torrent area that adds texture and an extra kind of natural setting
  • Dunes
  • Rock formations that give you something more dramatic than plain sand

There’s also a walking path along the beach, and it’s described as ideal for different group sizes. That’s important because it usually means the shoot can be paced. You’re not just posing and waiting for the photographer to shuffle you toward the next “perfect spot.” You’re walking, stopping, and getting angles as you go.

If your priority is variety in one outing—sea, sand, rocks, and dunes—this is a great choice. Just keep in mind that it’s a path-focused area, so you’ll want to feel comfortable moving around outdoors.

Playa de Alcanada near Port d’Alcúdia: pine trees and a lighthouse island

Private Mallorca Photoshoot - Palma & North Beaches options - Playa de Alcanada near Port d’Alcúdia: pine trees and a lighthouse island
For a quieter coastal feel, choose Playa de Alcanada (near Port d’Alcúdia). This is one of those beaches where the details help: there’s sand and pebbles, a rocky area close to the coastline, and nearby enormous pine trees that frame photos with shade and color.

The setting is also scenic in a more specific way. Playa de Alcanada sits on the headland of Cap des Pinar and is protected by Puig de sa Madona (151 meters high). In front of the coast, you can see the Island of Alcanada with a small lighthouse—that lighthouse view gives you a built-in focal point for couple and family photos.

Practical location facts that matter:

  • It’s about 3.5 km from Port d’Alcúdia
  • There’s easy access by car
  • There’s a free parking area next to the beach

This is a strong pick if you want a beach photoshoot that still feels calm and composed, not like you’re photographing in the middle of a crowd. The pine trees and coastline mix also makes it easier to get different looks without traveling to multiple places.

Port de Pollença seaside promenade: mountains, sailing boats, and small sandy coves

Private Mallorca Photoshoot - Palma & North Beaches options - Port de Pollença seaside promenade: mountains, sailing boats, and small sandy coves
The Playa Pollença meeting point focuses on the coastal experience near Port de Pollença, with a photoshoot that uses the seaside promenade and nearby beach areas.

What makes it special is the mix of backgrounds:

  • Views of mountains
  • Sailing boats in the bay
  • Pine trees and tamarisks
  • Summer residences that add a lived-in coastal feel
  • A long stretch with many very small beaches and fine-grained sand

If you’re traveling with kids, this kind of setup helps. Fine-grained sand and small beaches make it easier to get natural “playing” energy instead of forced posing. And if you’re there as a couple, this area is described as great for romantic sunset light—which is exactly when shadows and color start doing the flattering work for you.

Location and access notes:

  • About 6 km from Pollença
  • Between Port de Pollença and Punta de l’Avançada
  • Around a 10-minute walk from the Port
  • There’s easy car access and a free parking area
  • It’s also reachable with public transport

If you want a photoshoot that feels like strolling and sea air, with plenty of “walk-and-stop” angles, Playa Pollença is a dependable choice.

How Myriam Gardom helps you look natural on camera

Private Mallorca Photoshoot - Palma & North Beaches options - How Myriam Gardom helps you look natural on camera
A private photographer is only as good as the comfort level they create. This is where Myriam Gardom seems to make a real difference. People have shared that she’s friendly, patient, and good at guiding you in a way that doesn’t feel stiff.

In practice, that matters because many people freeze when a camera turns on—especially if you’re introverted, shy, or just not used to posing. The way this is described, she gives direction, offers pose suggestions, and finds ways to keep the mood relaxed so you can end up looking like yourself.

It’s also a good option if you’re photographing more than just two adults. The session is set up to work with families and kids, including very young children. If you’re trying to capture a milestone—engagement, a family trip, or a newborn moment—the session is framed as emotionally supportive, with guidance that helps everyone cooperate without turning the shoot into a stressful production.

One more practical advantage: you’re not stuck with a one-note plan. There’s a strong emphasis on adjusting to what you want, including being flexible with locations within the chosen area and with getting different backgrounds and lighting.

What you get after the shoot: edited photos in 5–10 days

Private Mallorca Photoshoot - Palma & North Beaches options - What you get after the shoot: edited photos in 5–10 days
This part is straightforward, and it’s a big part of the value.

Included in your session:

  • 20–50 edited digital images in high resolution & web size
  • A private online gallery
  • Delivery of the gallery 5–10 days after your session
  • Best time of day planning for your specific photoshoot location
  • Tips and recommendations in advance
  • Printing rights release, so you can print at home through a professional lab

Prints aren’t included, but you can order prints and wall art directly from the online gallery.

This matters because photoshoot value isn’t only the time you spend outdoors. It’s the quality of the selected edits and whether you get a usable digital set you can actually enjoy. Here, you’re receiving a range (20–50) rather than just a handful, which is great if you want options for holiday cards, social media, and future printing.

Price and value: $385.32 per group for up to 2

Private Mallorca Photoshoot - Palma & North Beaches options - Price and value: $385.32 per group for up to 2
The price is $385.32 per group, and the booking is set for up to 2. That means the cost is aimed at couples or small parties. If your group is larger, you’ll want to double-check how the session is handled for your specific number of people before you book.

What makes it feel like good value is what’s included:

  • A private session (not shared with other couples)
  • A set number range of edited, high-quality images
  • A private gallery with delivery in 5–10 days
  • Printing rights release
  • Location-specific planning, including the best time of day for your chosen spot

Compared to paying for multiple photo sessions, transport, and hours trying to time the right light yourself, this offers a clean shortcut. You’re paying for both the photography and the thinking behind where to stand, when to shoot, and how to keep things comfortable.

The only “value watch” item I’d flag is simple: because it’s priced per small group, it’s most cost-effective when you can make the session work for the number of people allowed in your booking.

Practical planning tips so your shoot goes smoothly

You don’t need to overthink this, but a little planning helps the results feel more personal.

Here’s what I’d do based on what’s built into the experience:

  • Take the advance tips seriously. The session includes recommendations in advance, which usually helps you show up ready.
  • Use the fact that best time of day is included. Your photographer will choose timing based on your location, so you can focus on being present rather than calculating sunset math.
  • If you’re choosing between Old Town and the North Beach sites, decide what you want the photos to communicate: sea-and-sand casual, or classic town textures.
  • Plan your arrival to the meeting point with some buffer. These are specific spots (Son Baulo, Playa de Alcanada, Playa Pollença), and the session is private—so being late can squeeze time for your planned shots.

Also, remember the simple reality: it requires good weather. If the weather turns, the experience is set up to offer a different date or a full refund, so keep an eye on your flexibility.

Should you book this private Mallorca photoshoot?

I’d book it if you want:

  • Real variety across Mallorca’s north coast settings (dunes, pine-framed beach scenes, seaside promenade light)
  • A private session with a photographer who works in English and Spanish
  • A quick, reliable digital result: 20–50 edited photos delivered in 5–10 days
  • A calmer way to get professional photos without spending your vacation “working” at it

I might skip it if:

  • You’re traveling at the last possible moment and can’t handle weather changes
  • You’re expecting something like a group tour itinerary with lots of stops and crowds (this is private and centered on your chosen location)
  • You’re not ready to travel to a specific meeting point and manage timing around that spot

If your goal is a clean, high-quality photo set that looks like Mallorca—without the stress—this is an easy yes.
