Cala d'Egos
Description
Cala d'Egos is a secluded pebble cove near Andratx in the south-west of Mallorca, reachable only on foot or by boat.
Turquoise Water and Marine Life
The water at Cala d'Egos is turquoise and exceptionally clear — both qualities are immediately striking. Beneath the surface there are plenty of fish to discover, with excellent visibility throughout. The cove is a rewarding snorkelling spot and is also praised by visitors for diving.
Location and How to Get There
The cove sits within the municipal area of Andratx (07159) and is accessible only via an unsigned footpath or from the sea. The walk involves rocky terrain with a noticeable change in elevation, so sturdy footwear — ideally hiking boots or closed-toe trainers — is strongly recommended. Alternatively, the cala can be reached by boat; smaller cabin boats and yachts anchor here regularly.
Character of the Cove
The beach itself is made up of pebbles and stones, so lying down is somewhat uneven. Its out-of-the-way position keeps the crowds at bay — those who make the effort will find a peaceful, unspoilt setting. That said, during peak season a fair number of boats moor in the bay. Plastic litter has also been spotted on occasion, which can slightly diminish the overall experience.
Who Will Enjoy the Walk Down
Cala d'Egos appeals most to those who value clear water, snorkelling, and seclusion over beach comfort. The footpath is manageable for children with the right footwear. Those who'd rather avoid a steep climb on the way back, or who need somewhere comfortable to lie out, may find it less suited to their needs.
