About Cala Agulla
Cala Agulla is a beautiful, small-scale resort beach located a stone’s throw from the charming, medieval town of Capdepera, which is less than 2 kilometres away, in the northeast coast of Mallorca. It is surrounded by the wild beauty of sand dunes, pine trees, desert plants, and low lying rocky areas that form the Llevant Peninsula Natural Park. Cala Agulla is a very clean beach and one of Mallorca’s Blue-Flag beaches.
Cala Agulla offers something for everyone; A large beach surrounded by stunning landscapes and minimal development keeps it relatively low-key, yet there are plenty of water sports and facilities to reassure or satisfy those who like civilisation nearby.
Cala Agulla sits adjacent to the larger, popular beach resort of Cala Rajada, and the surrounding hotels and vacation rentals here contribute to a mixed crowd that includes families, tourists, particularly with Germans, and some locals.
At nearly 525 metres long, this white sand beach is full of water sports and activities including paddle boats, kayaks, and stand up paddle boarding. The water is clear and clean, with some shallow rocks to watch out for whether you are walking or swimming. There can be waves on windy days, but generally it is safe for younger children. Umbrellas and lounge chairs are available for hire and there is plenty of sand to place your towel, though July and August can see this beach quite full, so it is advised to arrive early.
There are a few beach bars onsite offering sandwiches, snack food, ice cream and drinks, and there is one sit-down restaurant that is family friendly. Facilities include showers and toilets.
