Explore five secret spots in the Bay of Alcudia accessible only by boat. Unspoiled coves, hidden sea caves and isolated beaches to experience Mallorca from the sea.

The Bay of Alcudia: secrets within reach of only a few

When people think of Alcudia, many imagine long white-sand beaches, calm waters and family holidays. But the Bay of Alcudia hides a much wilder, more authentic and lesser-known side. Along the north coast of Mallorca there are hidden coves, sea caves and unspoiled spots that do not appear on traditional tourist maps and that can only be discovered from the sea. There are no roads, paths or easy access points. The only way to reach them is by boat. This is precisely why a boat tour in Alcudia becomes much more than a simple ride: it becomes an exploration. A way to access landscapes that remain untouched, far from the crowds and the noise of the most popular beaches. At Coral Boats, we have been navigating these waters for years, and we know that many travelers are looking for something different: authentic places, silence, nature, and that feeling of discovering something truly special. If you are considering living this experience, you can see all available options here: Boat tours from Alcudia.

Five unique places that will surprise you

Below, we show you five secret spots in the Bay of Alcudia that can only be visited by boat. Each one has its own character, but they all share something in common: natural beauty, tranquility and exclusive access from the sea.

Cala de las Águilas: a small unspoiled cove surrounded by rocks and Mediterranean vegetation. Its waters are incredibly clear and usually completely calm. Ideal for swimming and disconnecting.
The hidden caves of Cap des Pinar: a set of rocky formations and sea caves that can only be explored by boat. Some allow partial entry by boat, while others are perfect for swimming and snorkeling.
S’Illot: a small island just off the coast, visible from the beach but inaccessible without a boat. Its seabed is perfect for observing fish and enjoying a swim in open water.
Es Caló: a little-known spot with shallow waters and turquoise tones that look straight out of a postcard. An ideal place to relax and enjoy the silence.
Coll Baix Beach: probably one of the most striking landscapes in northern Mallorca. Vertical cliffs, coarse sand and a total sense of isolation. Although there is a walking access, arriving by boat is without a doubt the most comfortable and spectacular way.

What makes this experience special?

Visiting these secret spots is not just about the scenery, but about how the experience is lived. A boat trip along this part of northern Mallorca offers advantages that simply cannot be replicated from land.

1A unique perspective

From the sea, the coastline of Alcudia and Cap des Pinar reveals itself in all its glory. The cliffs, caves and coves are appreciated in a completely different way.

The light, the colors and the contrast between the blue of the Mediterranean and the rock create a feeling that is hard to describe. This is one of the reasons why many travelers consider these boat routes in Alcudia to be among the best memories of their trip.

2Exclusive access and tranquility

Many of these spots are inaccessible by land or require long hikes. Reaching them by boat allows you to enjoy the place effortlessly and, in many cases, without sharing it with large groups of people.

This translates into calm, privacy and a more authentic connection with the natural surroundings.

3Direct contact with nature

Swimming in crystal-clear waters, snorkeling next to rocky formations, listening only to the sound of the sea and observing marine life in its natural habitat.

These experiences are increasingly valued by travelers seeking sustainable, mindful tourism away from mass crowds.

Tips to make the most of your boat tour

To fully enjoy these hidden coves and secret spots, we recommend keeping a few practical tips in mind:

Bring snorkeling gear: many of these areas have spectacular seabeds.

Waterproof bag to protect your phone and personal items.
