Undeveloped hidden cove located in the north-east of Mallorca
An idyllic bay situated between Cala Mesquida Beach and Cala Mitjana on the northeast coast of Mallorca.
This beach attracts a good mix of locals and tourists and can get busy during the peak holiday weeks, but most of the time you will find that this relatively hidden cove is quieter than most of Mallorca’s north coast beaches. Its trickier access makes it less suitable for people with restricted mobility or a clan of small children, with several others simply deterred by the walk on a hot summer’s day! The bumpy road to the track is also notoriously bad and should only be attempted by 4-wheel drives.
Restaurants
There are no restaurants and bars on the beach, except for a small, shaded kiosk selling drinks, snacks and freshly caught fish, so make sure you pack a picnic and water if you’re intending to spend the day here.
Nightlife
There’s unsurprisingly no nightlife here on the beach itself or its immediate surroundings, but the nearby towns of Arta and Capdepera are great places to travel on to.
Hotels
There are no hotels surrounding this beach, but the resort of Cala Mesquida is 2km along the coast. A luxurious retreat hotel is just over 7km away encouraging their guests to connect with the surrounding nature and their inner selves. Several hotels are available in the nearby town of Arta.

At 200m long and 80m wide, the spacious beach is framed by rocky cliffs with silky soft white sand, unsurprisingly its often frequented by the occasional group of nudists.

Signposted on the road from Artà to Capdepera, you’ll need to look out for a turning to the beach after approximately 9km. This will lead you to drive down a rough track, where you’ll leave the car in a free car park and walk 100m on to the beach through the dunes.
