It’s just one of dozens of little inlets that host a tiny beach — yet that’s all it takes to spark the irresistible urge to become one with the water, even if only for a few seconds. Its crystal clarity seems purpose-built to enchant anyone who happens to pass by, donkeys included, without the slightest doubt.

Whether you visit the island by bike, off-road vehicle, or the little tourist train, once you arrive at this hidden cove, the word cala feels less like a name and more like an unspoken command — a magnetic pull urging you to step off your ride, walk literally three steps, and find yourself on one of the smallest and most exclusive beaches in the world.

Why this particular name?
The inspiration comes from the glittering rocks scattered across the sand, whose silvery hue and shimmering reflections call to mind the glint of a medieval suit of armor.
