Cala Varques
Cala Varques, Spain
Cala Varques is a small, secluded sandy cove on Mallorca’s east coast, prized for its clear turquoise water and excellent underwater visibility that attracts snorkellers and scuba divers. The beach feels wild and unspoilt — reached by a rough footpath rather than a road — and has no built facilities, which contributes to its natural charm.
What Makes It Special
A series of sea caves and limestone rock formations at the cove’s edges make Cala Varques special — they create interesting snorkelling routes, small cavern swims and natural platforms often used for cliff jumping and exploring.
Insider Tips
Come early (or later in the afternoon) to find limited parking and enjoy quieter water; bring plenty of water, sun protection, a snorkel set and sturdy shoes for the uneven trail, since there are no bars, toilets or lifeguards on site.
