Description

Cala Formentor is a sandy beach on the Formentor Peninsula in the north of Mallorca, situated within the municipality of Pollença.

Water, Sand and Natural Shade

Turquoise, crystal-clear water is the defining feature of Cala Formentor. The beach impresses with fine white sand and calm, shallow water, while pine trees lining the shore provide natural shade that keeps the cove pleasant even on the hottest days. The clear water also makes it a great spot for snorkelling.

Scenery and Views

Mountains, dramatic cliffs and a sweeping bay frame the beach on all sides, making Cala Formentor a truly extraordinary setting. This stunning backdrop is what stays with almost everyone who visits.

Location and Getting There

Cala Formentor lies on the Badia de Pollença (07460 Pollença). The approach road to the peninsula is narrow and winding. A car park is available, though spaces are limited and charges apply, so arriving early is strongly recommended. When the road to Cap de Formentor is closed, a park-and-ride bus service operates to the peninsula, with Cala Formentor at the end of the restricted stretch. The cove can also be reached by boat.

Who It's For and When to Visit

The beach is well suited to families. Outside the peak summer months — around February, March, October or early November — the cove is noticeably quieter and can be enjoyed in near-total peace. In summer, excursion boats bring day-trippers into the bay, adding to the bustle on the beach. There is a restaurant on site, along with toilets and changing facilities. Sun loungers are available to hire, though they are on the pricey side.
