Cala Mesquida is a fairly remote beach, located in the north-east of Mallorca, around 15km from Arta with lovely white sand and crystal-clear waters.
The beach is 300 metres in length and over 100 metres in depth. Home to one of the largest colonies of gulls and Balearic cormorants, the area is protected due to its importance for bird life. This is why the east side of the beach still exists purely of natural sand dunes and pine trees, upon a hilly background still free from development. A small resort lies on the west side, with a few local shops and restaurants.
Whilst there are no showers or toilets, there’s a great selection of luxury sun loungers with parasols available to hire.
Restaurants
At the back end of the beach, you’ll find a large and popular restaurant, as well as a beach bar in the central part of the beach.
Nightlife
The nearest towns, Capdepera and Cala Ratjada, offer a variety of nightlife from casual sundowners to all-night clubbing, but don’t expect to find much late night activity in Cala Mesquida itself.
Hotels
Being a petite and relatively unspoiled holiday resort, it is composed of a handful of resort hotels catering for tourists, some are adult only and some are family friendly.
