User reviews
"Head over to Cala Galdana to experience the beauty of nature. Take a 30-40 minute walk to Cala Macarella and then a 10 minute journey with a stunning view to reach Cala Macarelleta. Despite the large number of people, the atmosphere is quite cozy. Unfortunately, there are no trees to provide shade, but you can still enjoy the soft sand and clear, gorgeous water."
Eugene Desmarais
"Cala Macarella is a true paradise! Its white sand is like a soft blanket, and its turquoise waters are so crystal clear you can see the bottom. The cove is simply stunning, and there's a pleasant hike down from the car park that leads to the gorgeous Macarella beach. A must-see for anyone looking for a natural beauty."
