Location of Cala Pi in Mallorca.

Practical tip

Access is only via a steep stone staircase with more than 140 steps.

Right next door

Cala Beltran lies west of Cala Pi and can only be reached on foot: down the steps to the cove, past the boathouses and, behind the last house, onto a steep, rocky coastal path. There is no handrail and cairns mark the way – sturdy shoes are a must. The narrow cove is around 200 m long; at the end there are boulders and pebbles instead of sand. Above Cala Pi stands the historic watchtower Torre de Cala Pi. Bus 505 runs to Cala Pi.
