Cala Torta — Attraction in Artà

A 20-30 minute walk down a hill to reach the beach. Not too crowded, but not as empty as the reviews make it seem either. I guess it’s gotten popular. There’s no cell phone service. The road you walk on to reach the beach seems to have been asphalted before but it’s just broken down and ruined, which is why no cars are allowed on it. The end of the road, right before the beach is like going through a forest. There was a sign that there are strong currents and that the beach is a dangerous zone with high risk of drowning, and that the beach is not watched. While we were there, there was a lifeguard with an emergency vehicle, so the sign might be old. The lifeguard showed up a bit later though (around 11h maybe), so if you go earlier, keep in might that there might not be anyone to help in the case of an emergency. The water was nice, lots of algae though. I guess it depends on the season. It wasn’t my favorite beach, but it was a nice little adventure to get there. Sneakers are better than flip flops,...

Cala Torta is one of those places that makes you feel like you’ve earned the experience. The beach is absolutely stunning, crystal-clear turquoise water, surrounded by rocky cliffs and wild nature. No buildings, no bars, no restaurants, almost untouched beauty. It feels remote, raw, and peaceful.

To get there, you’ll need to walk about 1.5 km on a trail that’s not well-marked and a bit uneven, with a gentle uphill on the way back. It’s not super difficult, but definitely something to be aware of, especially in the summer heat. On the plus side, the effort helps keep the crowds away, even during high season.

There’s a small food truck/restaurant right before the trail begins, it’s your last chance to grab food or drinks, so stock up if you plan to stay for a while. The walk itself is scenic, with beautiful views of the coastline as you approach the cala. If you’re up for the short adventure, Cala Torta will reward you with one of the most beautiful and peaceful beach experiences in Mallorca....

Hidden sandy beach, no bars or restaurants nearby. There are lifeguards around the clock. The first gas station is about 15 minutes' drive from the beach. The problem is that the access to the beach is private property and there is a ramp that you cannot pass. There is no parking, you park along the road or at the end of the road there is a meadow full of stones where you can stop, of course it is free. From the parking lot, you have a 15-minute walk downhill to the beach. The plaza is big, not so crowded. There is too much seaweed and the water is colder than the beaches in the southern part of the island. It's worth seeing, but on the way to the parking lot, be prepared to walk uphill for...
