Cala Blava: Coast and Cliffs
Accommodation in Cala Blava
The rugged coastline defines Cala Blava: here, in the south of Mallorca, it rises towards Cap Enderrocat. The area has cliffs up to 25 metres high, offering views of the Bay of Palma and the city of Palma. The shape of the coast, the views and the named stretch of coastline give the place a distinct landscape profile—a good starting point for sorting out your holiday priorities.

Coast, cliffs and views
The phrase “up to 25 metres” refers to a maximum height, not a uniform height for all the cliffs. The description of the views also names two specific destinations: the Bay of Palma and the city of Palma. This makes it possible to distinguish between the shape of the coast, its rise towards Cap Enderrocat and the views. If you are wondering before your trip what interests you about Cala Blava, these different features may help: the rugged landscape, the cliffs, or the views of the bay and city.
For a family trip, this can lead to a conversation about shared holiday priorities. Is it mainly the coastal landscape that sparks your curiosity, or the views of the places named? These preferences are individual; discussing them in advance can make it easier to choose the kind of stay you want.
Mooring and getting there
A buoy service for anchoring is currently available in the waters of Cala Blava. If anchoring is part of your holiday plans, check the operational details with the booking office beforehand. This lets you consider this specific planning point separately from the landscape, rather than conflating the two. For travellers whose holiday does not involve anchoring, the shape of the coast and views of the bay and city may be more important points of reference.
You can also take access into account when choosing a location: Cala Blava is reachable by public transport, and EMT bus line 23 goes there. If you are looking for a holiday apartment, you can consider the bus connection as a separate aspect of getting around. As route numbers can change, check the current service before travelling. This allows you to plan your journey using a specific detail without equating it with the landscape-related reasons for choosing the place.
Tailor your holiday plans
When looking for a holiday apartment in Cala Blava, you can consider three questions separately: Which coastal landscape appeals to you, is anchoring part of your plans, and is travelling by bus important to you? The first question concerns the scenery, the second the buoy service, and the third public transport. These aspects involve different considerations and do not need to carry equal weight. For families, it can help to sort through everyone’s preferences together before choosing accommodation. This way, you can base your choice of location on the features of Cala Blava that matter for your stay.
