Description

Cova de Sa Figuera is a hidden cave with a small underground lake in Manacor, on the east coast of Mallorca — an unspoilt, unmarked natural spot that reveals itself only as you draw near.

A cave that doesn't announce itself

Cova de Sa Figuera is no tourist show cave — it's a quiet natural retreat tucked into the Mallorcan landscape. The entrance is unmarked and easy to miss; if you're not actively looking for it, you'll walk straight past. Using a route planner or map beforehand is strongly advisable. The rear of the cave is genuinely dark, so a torch is well worth bringing. Even before you reach the entrance, you can hear the rush and splash of seawater echoing off the rock walls.

Access & the descent

A broad stone staircase leads down to the cave entrance, making both the descent and the return climb manageable. Several footpaths wind through the surrounding — at times heavily overgrown — terrain, but not all of them lead to the right spot. The roof of the cave is secured with a metal grille.

How to find it

Cova de Sa Figuera is located at Ronda del Matí 102 in Manacor and can be reached on foot. Setting off from the terraced lagoon and entering the marked point into your route planner gives you a reliable starting reference.

Please keep it clean

Visitors have noted litter in and around the cave. Take your rubbish with you when you leave — it's the simplest way to help preserve this unspoilt place.
