Discover the magical caves in the north of Mallorca

With its breathtaking beauty, the north of Mallorca is the perfect place for nature-loving leisure activities. While many bon vivants enjoy its sunny natural beaches, crystal clear waters and varied hiking trails, Mallorca holds a fascinating secret that is often overlooked: Its mysterious caves. Beneath the picturesque surface of the Mediterranean island lie, among other things, numerous impressive dripstone caves with extraordinary formations and hidden benches and niches - a spectacle for adventure seekers and nature lovers. In addition, Mallorca has more than 200 caves of various origins - 5 of which are open to the public. Many of the remaining caves are privately owned, some can only be reached from the sea or are at the end of long hiking trails. Would you also like to discover the hidden treasures of Mallorca's mysterious underwater world not far from your new property? Engel & Völkers will introduce you to the impressive caves of the northern region, some of which you can discover on your own or as part of interesting guided tours - making your next island tour an unforgettable experience.
