From the water the southeast coast of Mallorca reads like a compact atlas of geological drama: a traditional fishing port gives way to a 20‑metre natural arch, small rock‑fringed coves with glassy, multi‑toned shallows, and a final sweep into a turquoise bowl of sand and rust‑red stone. This outing departs from Cala Figuera and stitches those features together in a short, sharply focused cruise along the Santanyí shoreline.

Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE LANDSCAPE

Es Pontas — the 20‑metre arch

A dramatic natural stone arch rising roughly 20 metres above sea level; one of the first coastal features visited after leaving Cala Figuera and a signature sight on the route.

THE SHORES

L’Olla and rock‑ringed coves

A circular rocky entrance at L’Olla gives way to crystal‑clear waters in shifting colors — a small, intimate coastal formation that contrasts with the higher cliffs nearby.

THE SWIM

Caló des Moro — turquoise water and red rock

The route culminates at the famed Caló des Moro: vivid blue‑turquoise water set against reddish natural stone. The itinerary includes time for swimming, snorkeling and photography here.
