A Narrow Cove Surrounded by Cliffs and Hotels
Also known as Caló de ses Egües, this tiny, enclosed cove is just 20 metres long but sees heavy use during summer, especially from hotel guests staying in the surrounding resort complex. Its rocky flanks and medium-high cliffs serve not only as natural boundaries but also as makeshift sunbathing terraces and diving spots, with stair access carved into the rocks.
Calm Waters and Sheltered Anchorage
The 300-metre-long inlet provides moderate shelter for small boats, which can anchor on a seabed of sand, seaweed, and occasional rocks. Depths range from 5 to 10 metres, but caution is advised if the southerly winds pick up.
Tricky to Find, But Easy to Access
Despite signage, the actual beach is hard to reach without passing through one of the nearby hotels. That said, public parking is available close to the cove, making it reasonably accessible by car. Due to its convenience and proximity to Cala d'Or, it remains a popular spot for both locals and visitors in peak season.
