Beyond the tourist crowds, Mallorca hides some of the most pristine beaches in the Mediterranean. Here's how to find them — and which car to drive there.
While Mallorca's famous beaches draw millions of visitors each year, the island's coastline hides dozens of secluded coves that remain blissfully uncrowded — if you know where to look.
Cala Deià — Tucked beneath the artist village of Deià, this rocky cove is a favourite of the island's creative community.
Cala Varques — Accessible only by a 20-minute walk from the nearest parking area, this pristine cove near Manacor rewards the effort with turquoise water.
Cala Tuent — Just around the headland from Sa Calobra but without the crowds.
For reaching these hidden gems, we recommend the Mercedes-Benz GLE or G-Class, as some access roads are unpaved.
