General presentation
Archipel de Cabrera
Island National Park south of Mallorca, with clear sea, castle, coves, short trails and strictly framed access.
Cabrera National Park, Cabrera Port and Cabrera Castle give the most telling landmarks of Cabrera Archipelago. Together, they make up a destination where the island landscapes, the coastline and the natural spaces meet, with atmospheres that change over the course of the stages rather than a single uniform decor.
See all
For a stay of 1 to 2 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be anticipated: necessary boat and quotas and weather to check. A car is usually the easiest way to connect different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

Nature and excursion
Parc national de l'archipel de Cabrera
Cabrera protects a limestone archipelago with transparent waters, where cliffs, coves and maquis have remained largely away from urbanization. Crossing from Majorca gradually reveals the islets before entering the sheltered bay of the main island. A well-prepared tour combines walking, marine observation and swimming in a highly regulated setting.
Heritage and panorama
Château de Cabrera
Cabrera Castle is a compact fortress high above the natural port to monitor maritime approaches. The trail climbs rapidly from the landing and opens, as you climb, a full view of the bay and the neighbouring islands. This is the best reading point in the archipelago for a first visit.
Port and landscape
Port de Cabrera
Cabrera harbour forms a deep, almost closed bay, surrounded by dry hills and dominated by the castle. The arrival by boat is a strong moment: the open sea suddenly gives way to a calm water where only the authorized vessels wet. The first trails of the island leave directly from this small landing.
