Sa Calobra

If you get parking it is a great place! Nice beach, some fun deep water solo climbing, cliff diving and a canyon you can hike in. The entrance to the beach is quiet unique as you have to walk through two tunnels which end in a great view! For the hiking part you can get pretty far into the canyon, but there is a point where you need to either climb or turn around. Many of the people we met had to turn around, but still enjoyed the hike! The canyon does require some climbing if you enter from the beach area if you want to go to the end. It is recommended to start from the top and hike down to end up at the beach. It is possible to do without rope if you are experienced, if not bring a rope to make it easier and safer! Also there are some sport climbing routes here, but you need to apply for permission to climb here.

The views are unique. We recommend that you stock up on fuel before you arrive, as you will be driving through the mountains for about ~1 hour. Keep in mind that you won't be able to swim peacefully due to the big waves. The mountains are big, so just driving to the place will take your breath away.

Pros: Sa Calobra is truly one of the most beautiful spots I’ve visited. The drive there is an adventure in itself — a winding mountain road with endless breathtaking views of cliffs, peaks, the sea, and lush greenery. Renting a car is highly recommended, as it gives you the flexibility to stop for photos at countless scenic viewpoints along the way. The drive takes about 1.5 hours with breaks, and in a comfortable car it’s a pleasure rather than a chore. When you arrive, you’ll find a picturesque bay with crystal-clear turquoise water, framed by dramatic cliffs and dotted with yachts. The small stone beach is stunning, and the water is incredibly clean and calm — perfect for swimming and floating effortlessly thanks to the ideal salinity. Swimming here was one of the most enjoyable experiences I’ve had anywhere in the world. The walk to the beach itself is also memorable — you pass through a tunnel carved into the rock, with “windows” looking out onto the bay. There’s decent infrastructure nearby: a large parking area, some small cafés and ice cream stands, changing rooms, and paid showers. Cons & Tips: It can get very crowded, especially on weekends in high season. If possible, visit on a weekday or in the shoulder season to enjoy it with fewer people. The beach is rocky (pebble/stone), so water shoes are a must for comfort — the stones can be slippery and uneven. Bring sunscreen, plenty of drinking water, something to lie on, and a light snack. The local food options are basic and overpriced, so I’d avoid planning a full meal there. If you enjoy snorkeling, definitely bring a mask — the visibility is fantastic. You can also jump from smaller rocks into the water if you’re comfortable with that. Overall: Sa Calobra is a must-visit if you’re in Mallorca. The journey is as stunning as the destination, and the swimming experience is exceptional. With the right preparation, you’ll have an unforgettable day in one of the island’s most unique and beautiful spots.

Great boat ride - buying your tickets online is easy. Super scenery and the fabulous swimming spot. Go early or else the boat and beach will be rammed. Take snacks and plenty of water to avoid over priced food. 2 hours is long enough for a couple of swims but if you want to explore the gorge too then you need more time.

Very scenic natural cove with surrounding cliffs. Beautiful to look at, but not a great beach. Stones that are not comfortable to walk on. Wear shoes to the water’s edge. Getting there is the best part: The road there is stunning and serpentine. Also, the tunnel you walk through to get to the beach is very cool. Lots of people in September. Fun to watch the young folk climb the cliffs and jump into the water, but not for this sexagenarian.

The drive to get here if nothing else is worth it. It's like been in the Italian alps! Switchbacks and cliff edges everywhere. Cafes and shops are limited but fully stocked. * If you have a blue badge take it as it allows you to park at the bottom of the hill. If not enjoy the walk back to the carpark! *

The most spectacular beach I've been to on Mallorca. Hidden between the rocks, passed through 2 tunnels by foot (easy access) to get to the beach after we parked. If you can, make a stop here by any means.

The place is so beautiful but really overcrowded in the morning. We came late afternoon and saw many people leaving which was good as we found a place to sit and eat and we had a nice place on the beach of Torrent de Paries which is the main point of interest. Unfortunately the water at the beach is dirty with plastic ( we were here a few years back and it was clean). Once we swam more deeper to the sea the water was clean and pleasantly cooling. Nice rocks to jump from and on the left there is a small cave underground to swim thru. There are no toilets and no garbage bins at the beach. You need to take garbage with you to the restaurant area ( 15 min walk).

Amazing spot! It's a stone/pebble beach which takes a bit of patience to get to. But once you do it's so worth it. The drive is amazing, but for the insecure driver it could be scary. Once you arrive there it's a paid parking with a lot of spaces, and to get to the biggest beach, torrent service Paris is a shorter walk through another beach, restaurants and through some cliffs (so cool!). The view is amazing, great snorkeling. You can cliff jump up to 9m if you can climb a bit. It's adventurous, beautiful and a picture perfect place for the adventurous. Not great if you just want to lay down tanning for a day. You need to swim here. The beach is very small and crowded, but there is a lot of space in the area close to the water.
