Coves surrounded by nature

Mallorca is famous for its natural coves with turquoise water. That’s why we recommend these three beautiful coves to hidden places lovers. The first, Cala Blanca, is a beautiful cove of sand, stone and rocks. It is very close to the beach of Santa Ponsa but it is less busy which makes it the perfect beach for those who prefer a quieter and relaxed sunny day on the beach. Secondly, Cala de'n Pellicer lies between the beach and the Yacht Club in Santa Ponsa. Although it´s busier than the previous one, it has a small perfect golden sand beach where one enjoy the Sun and the sea. Finally, and as they say but not least, is Cala Fornells.
