Cala Pilota

Cala Pilota is a wild, unspoilt rocky cove on Mallorca, reachable on foot or by boat.

A small cove with crystal-clear water

Cala Pilota is a narrow, stony cove with turquoise water. The seabed is made up of rock and stones, and there's no shade to speak of — a sun hat or parasol is absolutely essential. There are no facilities or vendors on site, so make sure you bring plenty to drink.

Getting there & location

The cove sits within the municipality of Manacor on Mallorca's east coast, just south of Cala Magraner, and is also known by the names Calas de Mallorca and Cala Romántica. The walking route passes through a private finca and takes around an hour; alternatively, Cala Pilota is easily accessible by boat.

Who'll love the trip

If you're after peace and seclusion, this undeveloped cove is well away from the tourist crowds. The trail leading to it is scenically beautiful and well worth the walk in its own right. Boaters particularly appreciate it as an anchorage spot for a swim.
