How do I get to Cala Varques from the nearest town or city?

To reach Cala Varques, one of Mallorca's hidden gems, the nearest town is Portocolom, which is about a 15-minute drive away. If you are starting from Portocolom, take the MA-4014 road heading towards Felanitx. After a short drive, you will see signs directing you to Cala Varques. The road may narrow as you get closer, but it will lead you to a designated parking area near the beach. It’s advisable to arrive early during peak season, as parking can fill up quickly due to the beach's popularity.

If you prefer public transportation, you can take a bus from Portocolom to Felanitx, and then catch a taxi to Cala Varques, as direct public transport options to the beach are limited. For those feeling adventurous, another option is to hike from the nearby village of S'Horta, which offers scenic views along the way. The path is well-marked, and the walk will take you about an hour, rewarding you with the stunning coastal scenery of Mallorca. Whichever way you choose to travel, be sure to bring plenty of water and sun protection, as the sun can be quite strong during the summer months. Enjoy your visit to this beautiful, tranquil cove!
