Cala Murta
Description
Cala Murta is an unspoilt, rocky cove in the Balearic Islands — peaceful, secluded, and filled with crystal-clear turquoise water.
A Wild Cove with No Infrastructure
Cala Murta is not a sandy beach — it's a rocky cove with no tourist facilities whatsoever. A short, stony footpath leads down from the car park to the water's edge. The water is exceptionally clear, often described as turquoise, deep blue, or almost otherworldly in colour. If you're after a comfortable sunbathing beach with loungers, this isn't the place. If you're after untouched nature and genuine quiet, you'll find exactly that.
Swimming and Rocky Ledges
The cove suits confident swimmers. There's no shallow sandy entry — getting into the water means climbing down over rocks, and in several spots visitors jump directly from the cliffs. Water shoes are strongly recommended to help you clamber back out. Children and less confident swimmers are not well suited to Cala Murta, given the steep, rocky shoreline and deep water.
Location and Getting There
The cove sits within the 07680 postcode area of the Balearic Islands. Sturdy footwear is advisable, as the path down is uneven and covered with loose stones in places. A pay car park is available nearby, and free roadside parking can also be found in the area. Worth noting: sat-nav apps can lead you to a dead end — the cove is still reachable on foot via the footpath from there.
Nature and Scenery
Cala Murta is ringed by cliffs and rock formations and makes for a wonderfully photogenic viewpoint. Lizards and snakes inhabit the rocks — the latter are believed to be non-venomous. The combination of sheer walls, clear water, and wild surroundings makes Cala Murta a rewarding detour for anyone in search of solitude and unspoilt landscape.
