A Wild and Untouched Retreat
Cala en Feliu is a secluded, virgin inlet nestled between rugged cliffs and steep rocky outcrops. Shaped like a narrow “U”, it stretches about 200 metres inland, ending in a stone and pebble beach formed by the flow of a torrent and sea currents. The crystal-clear waters and dramatic surroundings make it a picturesque escape for those seeking raw natural beauty and solitude.
Deep Waters for Confident Anchors
The underwater landscape of Cala en Feliu is steep and seaweed-covered, with depths of 7 metres just 100 metres from shore and up to 12 metres at 175 metres out. Though excellent for anchoring, the cove is exposed to winds from the northeast and east, so navigation should be cautious in adverse weather.
A Challenging Trail to Solitude
There’s no direct road access to this hidden beach. Visitors must hike from either Hotel Formentor or Cala Murta, along rocky coastal paths that wind through ancient holm oak trees and lichen-covered slopes. The remote location and demanding approach mean this beach is rarely crowded, making it a haven for experienced hikers and those arriving by boat.
