Cala Figuera
While Mallorca boasts many beaches and resort areas with clear waters and sandy shores, Cala Figuera stands out as a village full of working-class charm and local life. Nestled within a fishing port, simple white fishermen’s cottages dot the green-clad cliffs. Early risers can witness the fishermen at work and must try the freshly caught seafood. Though not suitable for swimming, if you’re into diving, the crystal-clear waters here make for effortless exploration of the underwater world.
Sa Calobra
This rugged and winding mountain road will make even the most experienced and confident drivers’ hearts race and palms sweat, as it has been the backdrop for many car commercials. The narrow mountain road winds down from the mountaintop, with numerous hairpin bends along the way, including a narrow passage through the rock where only one car can pass at a time. However, when you finally reach the seaside safely, the unbeatable views will be the ultimate reward. Walking towards Torrent de Pareis, through the gap between two valleys, you’ll arrive at a flat, white sandy beach, surrounded by tranquil transparent azure waters, leaving you speechless with its beauty.
Deià
Deià is a picturesque town nestled amidst fragrant orange trees in the valley, with green window frames of tile-roofed houses overlooking the sea from mid-air. Since the mid-20th century, its romantic atmosphere has attracted many artists to settle here, and it still hosts cultural events like international classical music festivals. Nowadays, Deià is home to many wealthy individuals, drawing top-notch Michelin-starred restaurants and luxury hotels. If you’re looking to experience a low-key yet luxurious vibe, Deià is the place to be.
