Cala de ses Ortigues
✨ Hidden gem
Cala de ses Ortigues is a small, sheltered cove tucked into Mallorca's north coast near the dramatic Formentor peninsula, where you anchor off in calm, clear water well away from the crowds. It has a genuinely local, unhurried feel that the more famous southern beaches lost years ago — late April through mid-June is the sweet spot before summer hits.
