Peaceful Setting in a Palm-Fringed Cove
Caló des Pou (also known as Caleta des Pou) is a quiet, palm-shaded cove offering a mix of natural charm and visitor comfort. Its fine white sand and gently sloping shore create a relaxing setting, ideal for families or anyone looking to escape the crowds. Despite its proximity to Cala d’Or, the beach remains peacefully unspoilt.
Safe Anchorage and Sheltered Waters
Located deep within Cala Llonga, this beach is well protected from open sea winds, making it safe for anchoring. The seabed is sandy with some patches of seaweed, at around five metres of depth. Sailors will find it a convenient stop, thanks to its nearby marina just 0.1 nautical miles away.
A Historic Touch Beside the Sea
Just above the beach lies Es Fortí, a restored 18th-century military fortress originally built in 1730. It adds a touch of local history and panoramic views, with a commemorative plaque to Pep Costa Ferrer, the visionary behind Cala d’Or’s development. Easy access by car and ample free parking make Caló des Pou a well-loved yet peaceful retreat.
