Description

S'Algar is a natural rocky cove near Portocolom on Mallorca.

Rocks, seagrass and turquoise water

S'Algar is no classic sandy beach — it's a natural cove of rocks and seagrass meadows, open directly to the sea. The water is turquoise and calm, though getting in means picking your way over sharp rocks, so water shoes are strongly recommended. Beneath the surface, it's well worth having a snorkel: the cove holds the remains of sunken ships and boats.

Walks with a view

If swimming isn't the only thing on your agenda, the area around the cove offers lovely walks with stunning views. Set right in the heart of unspoilt nature, S'Algar makes a rewarding destination even when you're not in the water.

Getting there & the surrounding area

S'Algar lies close to Portocolom. Access is via an unpaved track that leads directly down to the cove.

Who is it best for?

The cove is visited mainly by locals. If you're steady on your feet, you'll love it here — though S'Algar is less suitable for young children because of the sharp rocks. There is no lifeguard on site.
