Cala del Mago (Portals Vells)
Tucked inside a pine-fringed military nature reserve at the far southwestern tip of Calvià, Cala del Mago is a tiny nude-friendly beach so sheltered and clear it looks computer-generated — yet most package tourists never find it.
A Cove Like No Other
The beach itself is barely 60 metres wide, hemmed in by soft sandstone cliffs carved with ancient cave-dwellings once used by Genoese sailors to store provisions. The water is shallow, glassy and a shade of turquoise that makes Caribbean brochures look understated.
Just around the headland, the larger Platja de Portals Vells offers a beach bar (Bar Restaurante Cala Portals Vells) where you can order fresh grilled fish and a cold Estrella Damm without moving far from the water.
How to Reach It
Drive the Ma-1930 road south from Magaluf through the Mondragó pine forest reserve to the Portals Vells car park (paid, seasonal). From there it is a 15-minute walk along a signed sandy track through the pines.
Arrive before 10 am in July and August to claim a spot on the sand; by noon the small cove fills quickly. Outside peak season — May, June, September — you may have it almost entirely to yourself.
