About this place
Caló des Grells is a clothing-optional beach on Mallorca's Porto Pi area, central Palma, in the municipality of Palma. It's long-established as a fully naturist beach — Spain's relaxed approach to naturism on recognised beaches applies here. An unusual urban naturist option — within central Palma, directly opposite Porto Pi. Free parking along the Paseo Marítimo; a wooden staircase descends to the pebble shore. Mallorca's south- and west-coast naturist beaches typically run reliably May through October, with shoulder months (May, June, September) the most predominantly naturist; July and August see more textile day-trippers.

Who visits
Mallorcan locals on weekday mornings and shoulder months, plus German, Scandinavian, and UK return visitors familiar with the island's naturist coves. The mix skews older midweek; family and tourist mix grows in July and August.
How to find it
Free parking along the Paseo Marítimo; a wooden staircase descends to the pebble shore.
Things to watch out for
Few or no facilities at most Mallorcan naturist coves — bring water, shade, and reef-safe sunscreen. Many sites have rocky entry or pebble shores; water shoes help. Summer weekend parking fills early, especially on the southwest coast.

Etiquette & ground rules
On Mallorcan clothing-optional beaches, full nudity is welcome but not expected — many visitors mix nudity, swimwear, and topless dress. Camera and phone photography are off-limits without explicit consent. Pack out everything; many sites have no bins or services. Respect any signage marking the edges of the naturist section.

Cala Bassa
Cala Bassa is one of Ibiza's west-coast gems, a sweeping sandy cove backed by pine trees and overlooked by turquoise waters that glow at sunset. While primarily a mainstream beach popular with families and day-trippers, a portion of the beach—typically the quieter southern stretch—has been recognized by the Federación Española de Naturismo and sees naturist use, particularly during shoulder season and weekday mornings. Summer brings serious crowds; Cala Bassa is served by a beach club, sun loungers, and regular boat shuttles from San Antonio, which means the scene skews heavily textile when the island is at peak tourist season. Spain's relaxed approach to beach nudity means you're legally fine to go bare, but the ratio depends heavily on timing. Early risers in May, June, September, and October tend to find the most naturist-friendly atmosphere. The water here is famously calm and clear, ideal for snorkeling, and the beach has proper facilities including showers, a restaurant, and shade under the pines. If you're visiting Ibiza and want a naturist-tolerant beach that's also genuinely beautiful and well-equipped, Cala Bassa delivers—just pick your moment carefully.

Cala de Llucalcari
Cala de Llucalcari — also widely known as Es Canyaret, particularly when described from the Llucalcari village trailhead — is a small, rocky cove tucked into the dramatic northwestern coast of Mallorca, between Deià and Sóller. Officially recognized by the Federación Española de Naturismo, it's a mixed-use beach where naturism and textile bathing coexist peacefully, particularly outside the peak summer rush. The cove sits beneath steep, terraced hillsides dotted with olive and citrus groves—quintessential Tramuntana scenery—and the water is crystalline, though the shore is more pebble and rock platform than sand. Access requires a hike down from the coastal road or a walk along the shoreline from neighboring coves, which keeps crowds manageable and appeals to naturists looking for a quieter alternative to busier Mallorcan beaches. The scene leans naturist on weekday mornings and in May, June, and September, when locals and Northern European visitors dominate. July and August bring more textiles and day-trippers. Spain's relaxed beach culture means no one polices nudity at recognized sites like this, but the tourist influx can shift the vibe. There are no facilities—no showers, no cafés, no umbrellas for rent—so come self-sufficient with water, snacks, and sun protection. It's the kind of place that rewards early risers and those who don't mind a bit of effort for solitude and natural beauty.
