Guide to secret coves in Southeast Mallorca: From Cala d’Or to Mondragó

Mallorca is famous for its beaches, but the southeast of the island hides a treasure of turquoise bays and pine trees that touch the sea. If you are looking to escape the conventional routes, the surroundings of Hotel Cala d’Or are the perfect starting point. Here we reveal the most special corners of our coast.

The charm of the Southeast: A pristine landscape

Unlike the vast stretches of sand, the area surrounding Cala d’Or is characterized by its “calas”: small sea inlets protected by low cliffs. Staying at our hotel, one of the pioneers in the area, places you just minutes away from some of the most beautiful and best-preserved beaches in the Mediterranean.

From Cala d’Or to Mondragó: 3 mandatory stops

1. Cala Gran: This is the main cove of our town, but no less spectacular. Its crystal-clear waters are perfect for a morning swim before the sun is at its highest.

2. Mondragó Natural Park (Cala Mondragó and S’Amarador): A protected area where concrete does not exist. You can walk through dunes and pines to reach pristine white sand beaches with shallow, electric blue waters.

3. Caló des Moro: Although it is one of the most photographed, visiting early is worth it. It is a natural pool nestled between rocks that will make you feel in paradise.

After a day exploring trails and coves, your rest must be up to par. At Hotel Cala d’Or, we combine traditional white-house architectural style with premium services: panoramic sea views, exquisite gastronomy, and the tranquility of a historic setting.
