Cala Illetes
Cala Illetes, 07181 Illetes, Illes Balears, Spain
Cala Illetes is a small, picturesque sandy cove on Mallorca’s southwest coast near Illetes, prized for its pale sand, sheltered bay and clear, shallow turquoise water — an attractive, family-friendly spot for swimming, sunbathing and short snorkel trips close to Palma.
What Makes It Special
The bay’s sheltered, almost Caribbean-like shallow waters and nearby rocky outcrops create excellent off-the-beach snorkelling and safe swimming for children, with easy paddle-out access to a few small rocky islets and coves.
Insider Tips
In high season arrive early or late afternoon to avoid crowds and the limited parking; bring snorkel gear, sun protection, plenty of water and a beach towel or small shade as facilities can be minimal outside peak hours.
