Cala Rafalino
Description
Cala Rafalino is a natural rocky cove near S'Illot on the east coast of Mallorca.
Rock, Crystal Water and Tranquillity
Cala Rafalino is not a traditional sandy beach: the shoreline is made up of rocks and stones, with a sandy seabed only beginning a few metres after you enter the water. The water is crystal clear and a vivid shade of blue — perfect conditions for snorkelling, and small fish can be spotted right at the water's edge. The cove is peaceful and completely unspoilt; its raw, wilder character sets it apart from the more tourist-oriented beaches nearby.
Climbing, Jumping and Snorkelling
There is very little space to lie down — most visitors perch on rocks or stone steps. That said, the cove lends itself brilliantly to cliff jumping, clambering over rocks and snorkelling. When the sea is choppy it is better suited to confident swimmers, though in calmer conditions you can find sandy entry points to ease yourself in. Water shoes are strongly recommended for the rocky approach and entry into the water.
How to Find It
The cove sits within the area of 07680 S'Illot, Illes Balears. The path down leads over rocky terrain, so sturdy footwear makes far more sense than flip-flops. Even at the height of summer, only a handful of people tend to visit, making it a favourite with locals and naturists alike.
