Cove Characteristics
Cala des Borgit in Mallorca is a very small beach (almost 20 meters wide and 50 meters long), very natural, where few people fit and there is no type of service. This means that it is a piece of paradise, but it does not offer the comfort of other coves of Mallorca and it fills up very quickly. However, if you can arrive early and get a place, you can enjoy a magical beach day.
The water is turquoise, transparent, typical of the best coves of this island and worthy of inclusion in a postcard. Here you can snorkel to see the spectacular seabed or simply relax sunbathing or swimming quietly. This beach does not have showers or beach bars, which helps to maintain its almost virgin state and its calm atmosphere.
