A Hidden Marina on the Rugged North Coast
Also known as Sa Marina, this secluded coastal spot lies below the famed mountain village of Valldemossa, reached by a winding, steep road that hugs the cliffs of the Serra de Tramuntana. The cove is a mix of gravel, pebbles, and washed-up seaweed, flanked by dramatic rock faces and home to a small fishing port suitable only for vessels up to seven metres in length.
Wild Waters and Unforgiving Winds
The beach is exposed to winds from the north, northwest, and west, making it a risky place to anchor—especially in rough conditions. Should you attempt to anchor, it's best done in daylight only. For safer waters nearby, head northeast to Punta de sa Foradada, a stunning rocky headland with a natural hole through its tip and a more protected anchoring area with depths from 5 to 11 metres.
Serenity with a Scenic Backdrop
This stretch of coast is famously close to the finca of Michael Douglas and is ideal for those seeking tranquillity and unspoiled scenery. Due to its remoteness and limited access, tourist numbers remain low, preserving its authentic, untouched charm.
