About Cala de Llucalcari
Llucalcari is a tiny hamlet on Mallorca's north-west coast in the Serra de Tramuntana, between Deià and Sóller, and below it lies a small rocky cove sometimes called Es Canyaret. It is not a sandy beach: the shore is rock and pebbles under steep, pine-covered slopes, with clear water. The cove is frequented by naturists, and it is also known for small pools formed by a freshwater spring, where visitors coat themselves in clay mud before rinsing off in the sea. Local press lists it among Mallorca's spots for nudism, describing it as a favourite for people seeking privacy and direct contact with nature, while also noting it has one of the more complicated approaches. Guides warn it is not suited to families with small children who need sand and gently shelving water. There are no services, so this is a place for a quiet swim, a mud bath and views of the Tramuntana coast rather than a full beach day.
Getting there
The cove is under a kilometre from the hamlet of Llucalcari, reached through a pine wood on a path that takes under half an hour. It can also be reached on the coastal 'Camí dels Pintors' walking route from Deià via Cala Es Canyaret. The path is rough and steep in places; not wheelchair accessible.
What visitors say
Visitors describe a calm, beautiful and isolated spot for swimming and natural mud baths rather than a classic beach, with dramatic mountain scenery. The walk and rocky shore deter crowds. Common advice is to bring water shoes and supplies.
