Sa Calobra
This remote spot offers a remarkable beach experience, not just for its natural beauty but for the adventurous journey it demands. Situated on the northwest coast of Mallorca, this secluded cove is reached by navigating a winding mountain pass, offering breathtaking views and a thrilling ride. The beach itself is framed by steep cliffs and lies at the mouth of the Torrent de Pareis gorge, a magnet for hikers and nature enthusiasts.
With limited facilities and infrastructures we definitely encourage you to come prepared with your own beach essentials to enjoy the pristine surroundings. A few small eateries nearby serve delightful local dishes, complementing the secluded ambiance of the region.
Formentor Beach
Located on the picturesque Formentor peninsula, Formentor Beach is a sanctuary of tranquility and natural splendor. Accessible by a scenic drive or by boat, this beach is famed for its fine white sand and crystal-clear waters, set against the backdrop of the majestic Tramuntana mountains and lush pine forests.
The journey to the beach is also as mesmerizing as the destination itself, with the road offering stunning views of cliffs dropping dramatically into the sea. Nearby, the iconic Hotel Formentor doesn’t just enhance the beache’s allure of royalty but also allows you to rent a paddle boat to hit the open sea.
