Cúber
Description
Cúber is a reservoir nestled in the Serra de Tramuntana mountain range, set within the municipality of Escorca in Mallorca — surrounded by rugged highland scenery that forms a striking contrast to the island's coastline.
Mountain Scenery and Water
The turquoise waters of the reservoir mirror the peaks rising around it, making Cúber a genuinely spectacular natural setting. The stillness and open expanse of the landscape are what draw people back time and again — far removed from any urban bustle, with crisp mountain air and wide, open terrain all around. Swimming is not permitted, as the reservoir serves as a drinking water source for Mallorca.
Walking and the Circular Route
From the car park, you can follow an easy circular trail around the lake. A walk out to the dam rewards you with sweeping views across the entire reservoir. The paths are suitable for a range of fitness levels, and alongside the lakeside loop, longer routes head off into the surrounding mountains for those who want to go further.
Wildlife
Goats, sheep, donkeys and a variety of bird species are a regular sight around Cúber. Birds of prey in particular can be spotted at remarkably close range here — a genuine highlight of any visit.

Cúber sits within the municipality of Escorca (07315) in the heart of the Serra de Tramuntana. The drive there follows narrow, winding mountain roads. Both free and paid parking are available at the reservoir, though capacity is limited, so setting off early is a wise move.
