Visiting Caló del Moro
Don't bother looking for amenities at Caló del Moro, because there are none. You will find nature in its rawest form here. Located in the south of the island, about 45 minutes from Palma and a few kilometers from Santanyi, this small cove opens into the sea to create what looks like a luxury rectangular swimming pool. While the site is undeniably beautiful, it requires some effort to reach. Expect to hike along the cliffside to arrive, and know that it gets crowded despite the trek.
The beauty of the wild coast
Majorca is idyllic, but it is for spots like Caló del Moro that it stands out as an exceptional destination. Framed by rock and a mix of maquis shrubland and pines, this secluded small bay sits within a striking landscape. The fine sand beach is no more than 50 meters long, so it fills up quickly and is not the best place if you want plenty of room to spread out. You will likely end up sitting on the rocks, but few places are more enchanting. Encircled by steep cliffs, the sea stretches out like a translucent turquoise bed. Swimming is the main draw in this natural pool, and the crystal-clear, warm water is the primary reason to visit. The seafloor is well-preserved, making it a favorite for snorkeling, especially with a cave located just off the shore. Caló del Moro is the jewel of the wild coast. Once a hidden spot frequented only by locals, it has become quite popular. Reaching it requires a bit of a workout, as you need to head down the slope and walk past Cala s'Almunia, another cove that is popular with divers.
Very beautiful little sandy cove accessible after a short walk on steep paths (not recommended for strollers or people with limited mobility).
Come early in the morning, otherwise you won't even have a spot to put your towel.
Swimming is super pleasant in the turquoise waters. There is a sort of cave carved out by the waves that you can check out by swimming a few dozen yards out.
