Description

Cala Banyalbufar is a secluded rocky cove in Banyalbufar on Mallorca's west coast, nestled within the Serra de Tramuntana.

Turquoise water, rock instead of sand

The cove impresses with crystal-clear, turquoise water and sweeping views along the coastline. If you're expecting a sandy beach, you'll be in for a surprise: the ground is made up of pebbles, gravel and rock, and access to the water is via steps and a concrete platform. Sunbathing space is accordingly limited. If that doesn't put you off, you'll find a peaceful, uncrowded cove with a truly stunning panorama.

Snorkelling and sunset views

Snorkelling is a real highlight here — the water is clear enough to see the rocky seabed with ease. From the cliff above the cove, you're also treated to a beautiful view of the sunset. Do be aware that jellyfish have been spotted in parts of the cove, so it's worth keeping an eye out when swimming.

Getting down and getting there

The cove is located on Cami Sa Galera 3 in Banyalbufar. The route down to the cala follows narrow roads descending the hillside and requires a reasonable level of fitness: the descent is steep but well maintained, and the return climb is correspondingly demanding. Parking is available in the village. The access road to the cove is narrow, with limited room for passing traffic.
