Cabrera Archipelago Maritime-Terrestrial National Park
Description
Cabrera Archipelago National Park is a protected marine and terrestrial reserve off the south-east coast of Mallorca, accessible only by boat.
Unspoilt Nature in the Mediterranean
This protected archipelago impresses with crystal-clear water, turquoise coves and a pristine landscape that has become increasingly rare. Beneath the surface, fish thrive in abundance — snorkelling and diving are among the real highlights here. Visitors encounter a rich variety of wildlife, including ospreys, dolphins, geckos, lizards and numerous bird species. The tranquil, unhurried atmosphere is one of the park's most defining qualities.
Highlights: Cova Blava, the Castle and Walking Trails
The Cova Blava — a sea cave renowned for its vivid blue light — is one of the most celebrated spots in the archipelago and a regular stop on boat tours. On the main island, the climb up to the castle rewards you with sweeping views across the landscape. Further walking trails wind through the island's interior; these must be strictly followed to protect the ecosystem. Near the harbour you'll find toilet facilities and a canteen serving tapas and drinks.
Location & Getting There
The national park is set on Isla Cabrera in the Mediterranean Sea. The island is accessible only by boat — the usual departure points for organised excursions are harbours along the Mallorcan coast. If you plan to arrive by private boat, you'll need to obtain a permit and reserve a mooring buoy well in advance, which typically requires several weeks' notice.
Who Is It For?
The park is a great choice for day trips with families and anyone with an interest in nature. Free guided excursions on the island complement independent exploration. A covered picnic area and a small sandy beach shaded by pine trees are available to visitors; the larger beach area has no natural shade.
