Cala Formentor
Badia de, 07460 Pollença, Illes Balears, Spain
Cala Formentor is a long, sheltered sandy bay on the Formentor peninsula near Pollença, prized for its crystal-clear turquoise water, fine pale sand and pine‑backed shoreline — a classic Mallorcan beach ideal for swimming, sunbathing and short coastal boat trips.
What Makes It Special
What makes it special is the dramatic setting: a wide, shallow bay framed by pine‑clad slopes and the Tramuntana headland, giving exceptionally photogenic water colours and easy access to scenic viewpoints on the nearby headland.
Insider Tips
Arrive early or travel by seasonal bus or boat from Port de Pollença to avoid very limited parking; bring sun shelter and water because facilities are basic, and note the beach is not easily wheelchair‑accessible — snorkel around the rocky ends for clearer water and quieter spots.
