Overview

Caló d'en Monjo is a secluded, narrow inlet located on the rugged coastline of the Calvià municipality in Mallorca. The cove is characterized by a mix of pebble and rocky shoreline surrounded by dense pine forests and steep cliffs. It serves as a recognized nudist beach, popular for its privacy and clear, turquoise waters. Due to its orientation and narrow profile, the swimming area is protected from strong winds. The surrounding terrain is uneven and requires navigating unpaved coastal paths to reach the water's edge. It lacks commercial facilities, meaning no beach bars, lifeguards, or public restrooms are available on-site.

Insider tips

Wear sturdy walking shoes to handle the rocky, uneven descent from the trailhead.

Bring your own water and food, as there are no amenities at the cove.

Consider bringing a floating mat or water shoes to navigate the rocky entry point into the sea.

What to avoid

Do not attempt to drive your car down to the beach, as access is restricted to foot traffic on forest paths.

Etiquette

Nudity is common and culturally accepted; respect the privacy of other bathers and maintain a quiet environment.
