Cala Mitjana o sa Duaia
Description
Cala Mitjana o sa Duaia is an unspoilt sandy beach in the municipal area of Artà, in the north-east of Mallorca.
Beach & Water
The bay impresses with crystal-clear, turquoise water and fine sand. If you bring a mask and snorkel, you'll find fish beneath the surface — snorkelling conditions here are genuinely good. That said, bathing quality depends heavily on wind and weather: in unfavourable conditions, waves and washed-up seaweed can make swimming difficult or impossible altogether. The beach has no facilities whatsoever — no sun loungers or parasols, no beach bar, no toilets, and no lifeguard.
Location & Getting There
The beach sits near Artà and can only be reached on foot. There is a car park above; from there, a signposted path — partly paved, partly unpaved — leads down to the bay. The route is around 1.2 km, with the descent taking roughly 15 to 25 minutes and the uphill return taking a little longer. Do bring your own sun protection, as there is no shade on the beach itself.
Atmosphere
Because the only access is on foot, the bay stays noticeably quieter than easily accessible beaches. Away from mass tourism and with few visitors, you'll find genuine natural tranquillity here. Cala Mitjana lies between Cala Estreta and Cala Torta — if you fancy it, you can link all three coves in a single walk.
