A 3km drive from Deià (take the road towards Sóller), or a slightly shorter walk, is Cala de Deià, one of the most bewitching of the Serra de Tramuntana’s coastal inlets. Accessible only on foot, the enclosed arc of the bay is backed by a handful of houses and the small shingle beach gives onto crystal-clear water. Competition for a parking spot a few hundred metres back up the road can be intense; get here early.
The beach is backed by a simple bar-eatery, Can Lluc, while on a rocky platform above the water, you can sit down for fresh fish at Ca’s Patró March. Some fine walks criss-cross the area, such as the gentle Deià Coastal Path to the pleasant hamlet of Lluc Alcari. Three daily buses run from Deià (15-minute trip) from May to October.
