Location

The place Cala Murada is pleasantly manageable. It offers everything for the daily needs without being overcrowded by tourists.

Cala Murada is just one of many coves called Calas de Mallorca. Here you can enjoy the sun on the beach and swim or canoe in the crystal clear water with medium waves.
