Escape the crowds on the beaches of Cala d'Or by heading 3 km north to the bay of Cala Sa Nau. This relaxed beach is surrounded by pine trees and is very picturesque.
Cala Sa Nau Beach
Beautiful bay that's located just outside of Cala d'Or
You'll find very comfy bamboo sunloungers for hire here as well as showers and toilets. There is also a beach bar that sells drinks and snacks.
You'll need your own transport to get here - car parking costs €3.50 for the day. Or take a boat trip if you can, the bay is popular with private boats.
The closest resorts are Cala d'Or to the south and Porto Colom, around 3 km to the north.

Setting & Location
The beach is around 40 metres long and 70 metres deep, and is situated at the end of a long sea inlet so you can't actually see the open sea from the beach.
Water Safety & Clarity
The bay, like most of the bays on the east coast, is sheltered and you can enjoy the clear blue waters by swimming or indeed, snorkelling.
Beach Quality
The sand is soft and white.
