Secluded & Windswept Natural Beauty
Tucked behind Punta des Gulló, Cala Moltó is a wild and rocky coastal inlet declared an Àrea Natural d'Especial Interès in 1991, along with Cala Agulla and Cala Mesquida. Despite its small size, this beach offers a tranquil, natural experience — framed by windswept pines, a Civil War-era bunker, and the presence of escars (traditional boat shelters) that echo the area's rustic past.
Not Ideal for Anchoring
While the beach is accessible for boats, anchoring is not advised. The area is exposed to northeast and east winds, with a seabed of sand and stone at five metres deep. Sudden wind shifts can make anchoring risky, so if you do approach by boat, it’s recommended to anchor at a safe distance from shore. The nearest marina, Club Nàutic Cala Ratjada, is located 3 nautical miles away.
Walk In, Tune Out
Reaching Cala Moltó requires some effort. First, follow signs to Cala Agulla on the Capdepera–Cala Ratjada road and park in the paid parking area (€2.10, open 9 a.m.–7 p.m.). From there, it's a half-kilometre walk through pine forest to reach this serene haven. Its low footfall and nudist-friendly atmosphere make it perfect for those seeking peace and privacy. Adventurous walkers can also set off from here on a 10 km scenic hike through pine and scrubland all the way to Cala Mesquida.
