Just a 5-minute walk from Caló Des Moro is Cala s’Almunia, another jewel of the Mediterranean that will drive you crazy with its transparent waters. These beaches are separated by a small path that will allow you to move from one to the other without any problem.

It offers all the necessary services to spend a great sunny day at the beach. It has been equipped with umbrellas, hammocks and several chinguiritos to eat. It is positioned half an hour walk from Cala S’Almunia and is characterized by being surrounded by walkways that climb the cliffs and give breathtaking views.

One of its main attractions is that it has a rocky area for bathing, which has some stairs to get out of the water as if it were a swimming pool. Cala Llombards is one of the most beautiful coves to see in Mallorca in 4 days.

Day 3

It is a virgin beach with turquoise blue waters and white sand. However, when the tide rises it can be rough and full of waves. It is not usually so crowded, so you will have no problem to park.

Further in front of Cala Mandragó is Caló des Borgit, the smallest of the previous coves and one of the few that is preserved in its most natural state. Here you will not find any kind of service and, being far away from the parking, it is not so crowded.

Pi Cove

It is big enough so that people do not have to be crowded together like sardines in cans. It has a very quiet atmosphere that makes it the best option to end your day.

However, the cliffs that surround this cove reach up to 30 meters high, which makes it shadier than other beaches. One of its most visited points is its spectacular viewpoint, from which you can enjoy the best views.

It is the commercial center of these lands. It has wide avenues, an exquisite gastronomic offer and excellent stores to buy souvenirs and souvenirs. It has a different atmosphere from Fornalutx.
