4 hidden coves in Mallorca that you must visit

Nobody likes spending their holidays surrounded by tourists, so R2 brings you Mallorca's most hidden coves. Charming spots far from the tourist crowds, accessible only on foot via incredible trails. Settings that promise a truly unique day.

Considered one of the most beautiful natural spots on the island, this U-shaped cove serves as an inlet to the island's characteristic pristine, crystal-clear waters. It is surrounded by lush vegetation and is also a designated nudist area. Reaching it isn't easy, as those interested must hike 2 km from Cala Fornells beach in Peguera. It's a perfect spot for adventurous hikers. From the R2 Cala Millor motorway, those interested can reach it by crossing the highway.

Located 47 km from the R2 Verónica in Mallorca, this cove holds a special place. Despite being a well-known spot in Mallorca, this small stretch of fine sand and translucent turquoise water is worth a visit for its stunning beauty. Surrounded by towering cliffs and reflecting nature in pine trees and shrubs, many describe the sunsets here as unparalleled. Reaching this tourist gem isn't easy, as it requires a 2 km walk from the free parking area at Cala Llombards. Nevertheless, we highly recommend a visit.

Another hidden gem, well worth a visit despite being 120 km from R2 Cala Ratjada Bay. One of the island's most underrated landscapes, ideal for swimming enthusiasts, Cala Basset stands out as a small, inviting cove surrounded by natural sand and crystal-clear water. A place that invites relaxation and escape. This area also lends itself to a short walk from the local watchtower, offering spectacular panoramic views of Dragonera Island. The best way to reach it is by boat. Therefore, we recommend renting one from one of Mallorca's many charter companies. They typically offer boats for up to 6 people, with prices around €215 per hour and no license required.

Located 48 km from R2 Cala Millor, surrounded by picturesque houses, a stunning coastline, and the crystal-clear water so characteristic of Mallorca, Cala s'Almunia is a small sandy cove enclosed by rocky cliffs. Its shallow waters, which also mean few boats, make it a perfect spot for snorkeling. If you'd like to explore Palma's underwater world, this cove might be the ideal destination. It's accessible by car via a somewhat hidden road. However, once you find it, parking isn't a problem, and the cove is just a short walk away.

Without a doubt, Mallorca has magical spots where you can enjoy an unforgettable vacation. Have you already decided which one you want to visit?
