Mallorcan beaches: Cala Murta

There are plenty of quieter coves and bays where you can really soak up Mallorcan beach beauty without feeling overcrowded. Cala Murta is one such place.

Lying in northern Mallorca on the stunning Formentor peninsula, Cala Murta is as quiet as it is beautiful. Tall rocky cliff faces surround the bay. These majestic landscapes offer great scenery plus a wealth of hiking opportunities if you’re that way inclined. 

Remarkably clear water makes for excellent scuba diving with lots to see. As far as water sports go though, scuba diving is as far as it goes at Cala Murta. So your tranquil Mallorcan beach experience won’t be interrupted by roaring jet skis or noisy boats.

Several picnic tables dot the Cala Murta landscape. There are no restaurants, cafes or kiosks nearby so pack your own nibbles and a ready supply of drinking water.

After a wonderful day at Cala Murta, you will likely want to keep the tranquility with you when you return home. This serene Mallorcan beach lies about 15km from the old town Pollenca. So there are plenty of boutique hotels Mallorca within easy reach. Just a few ideas include:

•    Son Sant Jordi
•    Vall de Pollenca
•    Son Brull
