Dare to discover Cala Figuera

Cala Figuera is a fishing port located on the southeast coast of Mallorca, belonging to the municipality of Santanyí. Today it has approximately 750 inhabitants in a secluded, Y-shaped location between Caló d'En Boira and Caló d'En Busques.

The first records of Cala Figuera date back to 1306, and the first houses were built in the late 19th century. After the tourism boom of the 1960s and 80s, record visitor numbers declined drastically in the following years, bringing about a structural change in Cala Figuera and making it a less popular holiday destination. Many hotels were demolished, others were emptied, and instead of building new hotels or modern facilities, private homes with luxury finishes were constructed. Even so, this did not prevent it from becoming one of Mallorca's most famous coves .

Cala Figuera doesn't have its own sandy beach, but it more than makes up for it with its beautiful harbor, where you can join the fishermen on their early morning rounds. The sunrises are spectacular… the sea bathes the sun, creating a stunning backdrop to the rocky bay and the fishermen's cottages, making Cala Figuera a place you'll never forget.

You also have the option of taking a boat tour . These excursions will show you that Cala Figuera isn't the only idyllic spot in the area. On the various routes, you can discover other places like Cala Marmells and Cala S'Alumia, and if you're looking for a beach, whether you're heading to Cala Santanyi, Cala Llombarts, or Cala Mondragó, Cala Figuera's transport service will take you safely to the beach areas for an unforgettable day.

Cala Figuera offers the opportunity to swim or snorkel in its crystal-clear waters. Furthermore, if you're not a fan of water sports, you can also hike in the area and discover the natural beauty surrounding the island.
