Cala Figuera Beach, North Mallorca

Small pebbled beach in the north-east of Mallorca on the Cap de Formentor

Featured in
Beaches
Updated

This small beach is nestled within a small bay, encircled by the towering mountains in the north-east of Mallorca on the Cap de Formentor. Its remote location and stunning mountainous backdrop make it all the more beautiful, and provides a more peaceful and subdued beach experience compared to many other shores in Mallorca.

The beach is around 45 metres long and 40 metres wide. Located among high vertical cliffs, this pebble, gravel and rock beach has some sandy spots. The water here is crystal clear, perfect for snorkelling thanks to its rocky bottom.

Located 14 kilometres from Port de Pollença, you will need to drive here then park and walk for around 1.5 kilometres (15 to 20 minutes) from the car park to reach the beach. The path is well signposted, but bear in mind that it is quite a steep hike back up which takes around 30 minutes. We recommend taking good walking shoes and plenty of water!

Restaurants
There are no dining options on Cala Figuera, for further options head to Port de Pollença where you will find an array of restaurants serving local cuisine, along with international favourites. 

Nightlife
Nearby Port de Pollença is well known as one of the most family-friendly resorts, however there are numerous bars plus ‘Chivas’, a small disco for those looking for some late night fun.  

Hotels
Again, Port de Pollença is the nearest town and offers a good selection of hotels and accommodation options, family-friendly apart-hotels, boutique hotels and more luxurious options are available. Although this area is also popular for villa rentals. 

Cala Figuera is an authentic, undeveloped beach, devoid of any amenities, including basic facilities like toilets, but this is the perfect spot to escape the crowds in the summer. So pack a picnic, water, walking shoes, and something to lie on. 

Or if you need easy access or looking for a family friendly beach, head to nearby Playa Formentor.

Setting & Location

Located 14 kilometres from Port de Pollença, this is a small cove on the Cap de Formentor. The beach is around 45 metres long and 40 metres wide and is in a remote location among high vertical cliffs.

Water Safety & Clarity

The water here is turquoise and crystal clear. There are no lifeguards on duty. 

Beach Quality

This is a pebble, gravel and rock beach with some very small sandy spots to lay your towel.

Watersports Nearby

While the beach lacks water sports activities, it boasts ideal conditions for snorkelling, the rocky seabed here hosts a greater abundance of fish compared to sandy beaches, where they lack hiding spots. The water entry is also rocky, making it advisable to wear swim shoes. However, the pebbles in Cala Figuera are relatively large and exceptionally smooth.

Occasionally, a boat with divers ventures into the bay. Visit Pollenca for an array of watersports to get your adrenaline pumping.

Directions

From Port de Pollença it takes around 25 minutes to drive here, while it is only a 5-minute drive from Formentor Beach. There is a small esplanade where you can park your car and then embark on a 15-minute walk down to the beach.
