Cala Mondrago Natural Park

The landscape of the Cala Mondrago Natural Park in the east of Mallorca is characterized by its two main beaches, Cala Mondrago and S'Amarador. High cliffs provide an impressive backdrop for a relaxing day by the sea. While the little ones play in the golden sand, the older ones enjoy snorkeling and swimming. The Cala Mondrago Natural Park, with its wetlands, is an important habitat for numerous bird species, including birds of prey, flamingos, and ducks. Well-marked hiking trails lead through the coastal area into the lush forests with oaks, pines, and wild olives. A Mediterranean refreshment awaits hungry hikers at the Cala Mondrago restaurant.

Formentor Lighthouse

A winding road leads up to the highest point of Cap de Formentor with its towering Faro de Formentor. Already on the way, beautiful photo opportunities open up with the lighthouse rising in the distance and the Mediterranean as a backdrop. On-site, a viewing terrace offers the opportunity for a break. Enjoy the spectacular panoramic view from Cap de Formentor far out over the sea. In clear weather, you can even see the outlines of the sister island Menorca. An interesting alternative is exploring the cape with its rugged cliff face from the water side on a guided boat tour.

Dragon Caves

The stalagmites and stalactites in the impressively lit halls of the Coves del Drac on Mallorca remind one of petrified forests. Over millions of years, their cave system has grown, extending up to 25 meters underground over a length of 1,200 meters, with limestone rocks shimmering in various shades. You can visit the Dragon Caves on a guided boat tour. There are several lakes in the caves. As you glide over the turquoise glowing Lago Martel, you listen to a classical live concert by a quartet playing in a nearby boat. Outside, a café and cozy picnic spots with views of the Mediterranean await.

The Snake

In the northwest of the popular holiday island of Mallorca lies Sa Calobra. You can reach the romantic place via a narrow road that leads up the mountain with twelve hairpin bends. A bus also runs from Alcudia to Sa Calobra. The village overlooks the pine-covered bay of Sa Calobra. Nature lovers hike from Sa Calobra into the impressive Torrent de Pareis gorge. In winter or during a rainy period, a stream flows through the narrow valley. The approximately 50-meter-long, rather rocky village beach Platja de Sa Calobra offers a refreshing break. Old trees provide shade on the shore.

S'Albufera Natural Park

Near the seaside resort not far from Ca'n Picafort, the S'Albufera Nature Park stretches over 1,600 hectares. More than 200 bird species are native to the largest wetland in the Balearic Islands. These include stilts and ospreys, which amateur ornithologists can observe from elevated stands. In spring and autumn, numerous migratory birds rest in the nature park. With its well-signposted network of hiking and cycling trails, the S'Albufera Nature Park can be actively explored. At the Sa Roca visitor center, you can get information and maps. A permanent exhibition provides insights into the park's flora and fauna. Those interested can join a guided tour with a ranger.
