Overview

Mallorca's East Coast is a treasure trove of pristine calas - hidden coves with turquoise water, white sand, and pine-fringed cliffs. From the famous Cala Varques and Cala Mondrago to the dramatic Caves of Drach at Porto Cristo, this coastline offers the quintessential Mediterranean cala-hopping experience. Many of these coves are inaccessible by road, making a yacht charter the only way to discover them.
