Cala Varques: quintessential quiet beach Mallorca

Not all Mallorcan beaches are buzzing with tourists and tourism trappings. If you yearn for a quiet beach on Mallorca, Cala Varques will be a pleasure to behold. Beautiful in its isolation, Cala Varques restores solitude, tranquility and unspoilt beauty so rare on well-beaten tourist circuits.

Families may find the 20 minute walk to Cala Varques a little challenging. Yet the splendor of this quiet beach makes the short hike well worth it with its turquoise waters. Watch the beautiful spectacle from the pristine beach. Be sure to pack a picnic though, because Cala Varques is so unpopulated that it is wholly unserviced. So you must come prepared, at least with water.

Quiet beachscape is not the only boast this coastline offer. Low cliffs and rock formations rise up around the south side of the beach. At times the only other people in sight will be those scaling these craggy rock formations. Climbers adore the challenge and scenic beauty of such local rock climbing. Don’t be alarmed if you see some climbers fall directly into the sea from the rock face. Here, climbers dispense with ropes and fling themselves straight into the sea once their climbing is done. If you venture too far around the southernmost rock formations, some should proceed with caution. A small popular nudist beach lies a little to the south. 

Cara Varques is such a quiet beach Mallorca that you may find yourself reluctant to leave its peacefulness. Yet in time you will need to return to civilisation, so be sure to tee up a welcoming place to stay. Cala Varques lies a short drive from some lovely Majorca boutique hotels.
