Cala Fornells is a sheltered cove on Mallorca's southwest coast, tucked between the municipalities of Calvia and Andratx. It's not a party destination. The beach is roughly 80 metres long, backed by pine trees and rocky headlands, with calm turquoise water and coarse white sand.
There's one beach club in Cala Fornells, attached to the Hotel Coronado Thalasso & Spa. It's a fine dining operation with premium sunbeds and views out over the Mediterranean. The rest of the cove is public and free to use.
The southwest coast around here is quieter than Palma or the north. For more beach club options, Andratx and Port d'Andratx are both within easy reach.
The Calvia tourism board has practical information on the beach and local services.
