Cala Morlanda
Description
Cala Morlanda is a natural rocky cove near S'Illot in Mallorca, perfect for swimming, snorkelling, and cliff jumping.
Crystal-clear water and vibrant marine life
What makes Cala Morlanda truly special is its exceptionally clear, turquoise water. Beneath the surface, fish and crabs hide amongst the rocks — a snorkel or a pair of goggles is well worth packing. The water is clean, and the cove is well sheltered from strong currents.
Rocky scenery, no sandy beach
There's no sandy beach here. The cove is made up of large rocks and boulders that serve both as sun loungers and jumping-off points — local kids and the brave-hearted leap from the cliffs into the deep water below. Getting into the water means clambering over rocks and stones that can be slippery, so sturdy footwear and a sure footing are strongly recommended. In stronger winds, the surf can become dangerous and push you against the rocks. Spots to lie down are limited, though you'll find the odd patch of shade.
Getting there and location
The cove sits along Ronda del Matí in S'Illot and can be reached on foot, by bike, or by car. The descent to the water involves several steps and is not accessible for wheelchairs or pushchairs. Free on-street parking is available nearby. There are no restaurants, bars, or toilet facilities in the immediate vicinity.
A peaceful spot and a rewarding excursion
The cove is quiet and rarely crowded — even boat trips and glass-bottomed boat tours call in here. The coastline around Cala Morlanda is lovely to explore on foot; in spring the path is lined with wildflowers, and with a bit of luck you might spot a Hermann's tortoise along the way.
