This tour takes you to Cala Màrmols on the wild southeast coast — an easy, but quite rewarding loop if you want to be away from Mallorca’s hotspots. Here you’ll find the route, an interactive map and a GPX track, plus our honest assessment of orientation and the short descent down to the bay. The tour starts at Cap de Ses Salines — and with the GPX as a backup you are well covered on the way.


Highlights of the Cala MÀrmols hike

A beautiful bay that, in sunny weather around midday, almost invites you to swim even in winter. Few visitors, as it is not easily accessible by car.

What to keep in mind

An easy path along the cliffs of Mallorca’s southeast coast without any significant elevation differences. Only for access down to the bay (Cala Màrmols) at the end of the tour do you have to climb down the cliffs — and climb back up again on the return.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT THE HIKE TO CALA MÀRMOLS

WHERE DOES THE TOUR TO CALA MÀRMOLS START?

The tour starts on the Ma-6110 at an inconspicuous turn-off near the Far del Cap de ses Salines lighthouse. There is no official infrastructure there — park as space-efficiently as possible along the roadside. The coordinates for the lighthouse at Cap de Ses Salines are  39.265848, 3.052906.

CAN YOU SWIM AT CALA MÀRMOLS?

Yes — the water is crystal clear, and the small pebble beach is ideal for a refreshing break. Don’t forget your swimwear.

IS THERE SHADE OR DRINKING WATER ALONG THE ROUTE?
