Top 7 Hidden Coves in Mallorca You Can

Only Reach by Boat

BookingBoats.com

Mallorca is known for its golden beaches and turquoise waters — but beyond the busy resorts and popular beaches lie some of the island’s most breathtaking

treasures: hidden coves that can only be reached by sea.



These secluded spots are where Mallorca’s true magic lives — peaceful, untouched, and far from the crowds. If you’re renting a boat (or planning to), here are 7 secret coves you absolutely won’t want to miss.

1. Caló des Moro – Santanyí

This is one of Mallorca’s most photographed coves — and for good reason.

Tucked between dramatic cliffs and pine-covered hills, Caló des Moro features

crystal-clear waters and soft white sand, perfect for swimming and snorkelling.



Why go by boat?

The land access involves a steep, rocky descent and is often crowded. Arriving by

boat gives you front-row access — and a peaceful experience without the fuss.

2. Cala Marmols – South-East Coast

Just a short sail from Caló des Moro, Cala Marmols is a remote paradise with

blindingly white sand and turquoise water that looks straight out of the

Caribbean.



Why go by boat?

There’s no road access — it’s a 5km hike from the nearest car park, making it one

of Mallorca’s most tranquil coastal secrets. By boat? You’ll be anchored in paradise

in minutes.

3. Cala Tuent – Tramuntana Coast

Located near Sa Calobra, but far less crowded, Cala Tuent is a calm, peaceful bay

nestled below the imposing peaks of the Tramuntana mountains.

Why go by boat?

The road access is winding and dramatic (not for the faint-hearted). Coming in by

sea is far more enjoyable, offering spectacular views along the cliffs.

4. Cala Varques – Between Porto Cristo and Cales de Mallorca

Cala Varques is a long, secluded crescent of sand with a bohemian feel, often

visited by local artists, free divers, and nature lovers. You might spot cave swimmers

or cliff jumpers here.



Why go by boat?

The land path is a 25-minute walk from the road, often through rough terrain. By

boat, you skip the hassle — and get there before anyone else.

5. Cala Deià – North-West Coast

Though it’s better known, Cala Deià is still a charming, intimate cove, surrounded by olive trees, cliffs and two excellent waterfront restaurants.

Why go by boat?

The small road leading down to the beach is narrow, winding, and always

crowded in summer. Dropping anchor offshore lets you arrive stress-free and take in the full view of the beautiful Deià coastline.

6. Es Caló – Cabrera Archipelago

Technically not part of Mallorca, but just off the south coast, Cabrera is a protected national park with some of the clearest water in the Balearics. Es Caló is one of its most stunning anchorages.

Why go by boat?

It’s only accessible by boat — and you’ll need a permit to enter the Cabrera park. It’s worth the extra effort for the untouched nature, sea caves, and marine life.

7. Cala en Tugores – Es Trenc’s Wild Neighbour

Located near the famous Es Trenc beach, Cala en Tugores is the wild, untamed

version of its better-known neighbour. Expect soft sand, no buildings, and a lot of

silence.



Why go by boat?

There’s no infrastructure here, and getting there on foot requires navigating the salt

flats. From the water? It’s a peaceful, untouched haven with plenty of space to anchor.

Pro Tips for Exploring Mallorca’s Hidden Coves by Boat

Check the wind before heading out — many coves are only safe in calm

conditions.

• Arrive early in high season — even remote coves can fill up by midday.
• Bring snorkelling gear — the underwater life in these coves is just as stunning as the views.
• Leave no trace — most of these locations are unspoiled, and we want to keep them that way.
