Overview
The town of Cala Figuera stretches from high cliffs to the south of the town to the fishing harbour at the end of a fjord-like inlet which holds some of the most picturesque traditional buildings in the whole of Mallorca, as well as a number of millionaires' mansions overlooking the scenic harbour entrance. Figuera offers no tourist beaches or easily accessible swimming areas, as a result of which it remains largely untouched by mass tourism. Even at the height of tourism in the town there were only a handful of medium-sized hotels, the largest of which (the 3 Star Hotel Cala Figuera) was torn down in 2006 to make way for 84 private apartments. Building started in May 2007. The sheltered port area only caters for a small number of visiting yachts. The harbour is home to a small fleet of local fishing boats which are permitted, by exception, to fish the coastal areas of the Mondragó Natural Parc, a protected wildlife area.
