What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Cala Trebalúger is widely praised as a stunning, less crowded beach, often described as paradise. Visitors appreciate its natural beauty, clear waters, and the rewarding hike to reach it. The main drawback is the lack of facilities, requiring visitors to be self-sufficient.
"ACCESS: 60min, 3.8km walk from Cala Galdana, up a set of stone stairs to the left of Cala Mitjana.
PROS: large, scenic beach, without the overcrowding of its neighbors to the West. Little to no algae and no smell either, and plenty of space for your towel. Ideal time to arrive is before 11.00am. After that, whater taxis start unloading large groups on the shore.
CONS: There are no services, so take plenty of water and some snacks with you."
