1. Caló del Moro

Calo des Moro is a tiny place in the southeast corner of Mallorca, 6 kilometers from Santanyi. It might be difficult to access the beach. Residents have put up signs indicating that the road is private, but that it is feasible to drive all the way to the beach. Calo des Moro is a stunning beach nestled deep within a bay surrounded by steep rocks. 

Although it is a little beach, the 40 meters of sand are fine-grained and brilliant. The water is incredibly pure and has stunning turquoise colors. Between the towering cliffs, it's ideal for a swim. 

After you've parked your car, you'll have to walk a few hundred meters. On the route, you'll pass the Cala s'Almunia beach, although Calo des Moro is the most attractive of the two. 

The beach has been referred to as a "hidden tip" for many years. It is no longer the case, thus coming early in the day in July and August is a smart idea. Try to avoid visiting the beach on weekends, when many residents do.

2. Cala Mesquida

About 350 meters long, Cala Mesquida's beach is formed like a bay with fine-grain sand. Clean and clear water can be found here, but the wind can pick up and make waves and currents. A lot of tourists, especially Germans and British people under 50, love it because it's so easy to get to and has a lot of sand and water.

People can rent lounge chairs and umbrellas. There is one restaurant and a snack bar that serve good food and drinks, but there aren't many other places to go. Besides diving, snorkeling, and paddling boats, there aren't many water sports to do. 

Cala Mesquida is very easy to get to by car. There is a lot of free parking on the streets near the beach, and there is also a lot of free parking at the beach itself. Getting to the beach by wheelchair is difficult because you have to walk the last 200 or so meters to get there. To get to the beach, if you are staying in an apartment or hotel on the beach, there is a paved path you can follow.

3. Cala Mondragó

Cala Mondragó Natural Park, which spans 1,900 acres on the island's southeast coast, is home to three main beaches: Cala des Borgit, Ses Fonts de n'Alis, and s'Amarador. A rocky road that runs along the coastline connects the last two. If you prefer peace and quiet, we propose visiting Playa s'Amarador, which was named Europe's most beautiful beach by the online portal Onbeach.com in 2008.

Cala Mondragó is known for its blue shallow waters, beautiful soft beaches, undulating white dunes, and shady nooks shaded by ancient pine and stone oak trees. This beach is perfect for families because it has all of the required beach amenities. Cala Mondragó is a famous snorkeling destination due to its rocky coves and crystal blue water. Hike the natural trails or enjoy a glass-bottom boat excursion! Almost everywhere along the journey, you can jump off and swim.

The best way to get to Cala Mondragó is via car. Drive towards Porto Petro from Santanyi and leave at the last roundabout at Mondragó. There is a large public parking lot where you may park for free.
