A Sheltered Bay in the Heart of a Nature Reserve
Also known as Cala de sa Font de n'Alis, this idyllic beach is part of Cala Mondragó Natural Park, a protected area of 785 hectares renowned for its dunes, wetlands, pine forests, and birdlife. Declared a natural reserve in 1992, Cala Mondragó offers both pristine beauty and family-friendly amenities.
Ideal for Children & Nature Lovers
The beach features fine sand, calm waters, and a gentle slope, making it perfect for young swimmers. Behind the beach lies a wetland teeming with wildlife, including eels, birds, and water snakes. Due to its location at the heart of the park, it also serves as a hub for coastal hikes—a trail west leads to Caló des Burgit, while a walk east brings you to s’Amarador.
Easy Access & Anchoring Options
Cala Mondragó is well equipped and easily reached—you can arrive by car (free parking nearby) or even by tourist train from Cala d'Or. For sailors, anchoring is possible on a sandy seabed with depths up to six metres, though the cove is exposed to easterly and southeasterly winds.
