If you are cruising out of Palma, head direction Sa Ràpita. Shortly after you pass Hotel Cap Rocat, there are some nice spots to throw an anchor around the Mhares Sea Club (mentioned in EAT).
Further along the coast just beyond Sa Ràpita is the beautiful Beach of Des Trenc(pictured above).Throw an anchor in the shallow turquoise water and then swim to the beach and take a walk amongst the nudists.

South of the Beach Des Trenc is the National Park of Cabrera, a magnificent island to spend the day discovering. Take note that anchoring around Cabrera must be organized and reserved in advance, as entry is controlled to ensure that the beautiful nature is conserved and protected from over-tourism.
On the most south-eastern corner of Mallorca is Mondrago National Park, where you will find Cala Mondrago (pictured below).
To the west of Palma is the lively port of Portals Nous which is full of shops and restaurants, one of them top-notch Flanigan, mentioned in EAT & SIP.
The best boating in this southwestern part of the island is between Andratx and Sant Elm, opposite the island of Dragonera, where you will find many wonderful inlets and bays. They can get busy at times, but Roaming Stones has spent many memorable days enjoying the swimming and sea breezes in these coves. See EAT for some lunch spots by the sea.
