Cala Fornells

Cala Fornells is a beautifully sheltered bay on Mallorca's southwest coast, where you anchor off and take in pine-backed cliffs and crystal-clear turquoise water. The bay is home to Hotel Cala Fornells, a family-run institution since 1947 that defines the classic Mediterranean scene here — you can dinghy ashore and grab a drink with that rooftop-pool-over-the-bay backdrop. It's a quieter, more intimate spot compared to the busier coves nearby, with a genuine old-school Mallorcan character that's hard to find.
