Description

Cala Sa Nau is a small, natural cove within the municipal area of Felanitx on the east coast of Mallorca.

The Cove

The S-shaped cove sits in the eastern part of the Felanitx municipality, nestled between Cala d'Or and Portocolom. It is narrow and framed by low rocky outcrops dotted with pine trees and Mediterranean scrub. The water is crystal clear and, thanks to its sheltered position, conditions for swimming are generally calm. Those keen on snorkelling will find fish and rocky seabed to explore.

Beach Facilities

The beach is equipped with a chiringuito beach bar, showers, clean toilets, and a lifeguard post. The chiringuito serves food and drinks; booking ahead for lunch is recommended, though takeaway is available without a reservation. Sun loungers are available to hire. During the peak season the cove fills up quickly owing to its compact size.

Getting There & Parking

The access road is narrow. A car park is located close to the cove, from which a steep footpath leads down to the beach. Arriving early is a reliable way to secure a spot — both in the car park and on the beach itself.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there shade or are sun loungers available at the beach?
Sun loungers are available to hire. If you'd rather not rent them, it's worth bringing your own chairs or a beach mat.
Is the cove good for snorkelling?
Absolutely — the clear water, abundant fish, and rocky seabed make Cala Sa Nau a popular spot for snorkelling.
Is there an entrance fee for the beach?
Access to the beach itself is free. Sun lounger hire and the chiringuito are charged separately.

The cove lies at the end of a sea inlet extending 350 metres inland. It has limestone, fine white sand and ravines in white, red and ochre tones.
What walking routes are available from the cove or from Portocolom?
Cala Mitjana can be reached on foot, with Cova des Moro nearby. There is also a walking route from Portocolom along the Sa Ronda path, following the coast through pines, junipers and shrubs.
What are the seabed and water depth like?
The seabed consists of sand and algae, and the depth varies between 3 and 5 metres.
