Cala Varques & Felanitx Coves

The coast of the Felanitx municipality is home to some of the most spectacular marine landscapes in the Balearic Islands. The main highlight is **Cala Varques**, a pristine paradise surrounded by pine forests, low cliffs, and ancient sea caves.

1. The most virgin and wild spots of Felanitx

Sailing north from Portocolom, the coast becomes wilder. Along the way you will find spectacular natural corners of the Felanitx region, including Cala Brafi, Cala Estreta, Cala Sa Nau, and the iconic Cala Varques.

2. Sailing to Cala Varques from Portocolom: a dream journey

Cala Varques is located about **4.5 nautical miles north of Portocolom**. It is a completely wild beach, with no buildings or commercial bars, famous for its extra fine white sand and its impressive natural stone bridge (the Pont de Cala Varques) carved into the adjacent cliff by the wind and the sea.

3. Sea caves accessible only by sea

The coast north of Portocolom is rich in underwater caves. Most famous are the Pirate Cave or Pont Cave, accessible directly by swimming a few meters into the cliff. Entering these dark natural vaults, with stalagmites and warm groundwater pools, is an unforgettable experience where safe anchoring is required.

4. Skippered boat rental: the most relaxing and safe way to explore Felanitx

While sailing here on your own is possible if you hold a valid boat license, booking a skippered yacht charter in Portocolom is the most relaxing and recommended choice. A professional local captain knows the exact location of rocky shoals, the best protected anchoring spots, and safe entry methods to the secret sea caves of Felanitx.
