Discover a wild and authentic corner near Palma, ideal for escaping the crowds and connecting with coastal majesty.
Davallador des Carros is a hidden gem on Llucmajor’s coastline, offering a unique swimming experience away from the hustle and bustle of more crowded areas. Accessible from the Delta and Maioris hotel complex, this cove presents itself as a perfect alternative for those seeking a refreshing swim near Palma, but in a wild and magnificent setting.
Although Davallador des Carros isn’t known for its spaciousness or sandy expanse, its true charm lies in the imposing beauty of its cliffs, which rise majestically up to about 90 meters high, giving the landscape a dramatic and pristine appearance. This part of the coast is dotted with numerous caves and marine spots of interest, inviting exploration and discovery. Its astonishingly clear waters are ideal for snorkeling and immersing oneself in the rich underwater life. The occupancy level in this area is generally low, ensuring a peaceful and disconnected experience, perfect for landscape photography or simply enjoying the silence broken only by the sound of the waves.
From Davallador, the coast offers even more possibilities. Skirting the sea to the right, you’ll find Cala Vella, a small and charming fine sandy beach, ideal for a change of scenery and a more comfortable swim. If, on the other hand, you head left following a path, you’ll access a rocky area with equally transparent waters, perfect for continuing to explore the rock formations and the clarity of its seabed. This collection of coves and hidden spots makes Davallador des Carros a starting point for a small coastal adventure.
