Off the southwest coast of Mallorca, in the Mediterranean Sea, lie the Malgrats Islands, a small archipelago made up of two islands: Isla Malgrats Grande and Isla Malgrats Pequeña. These islands are a true natural jewel that captivates visitors with their scenic beauty and rich biodiversity. Get to know them with our Illes Malgrats boat rental Tour.
Despite their proximity to tourist areas, the islands have been protected and conserved, allowing their marine and terrestrial ecosystem to remain largely intact.
The rich marine biodiversity surrounding the Malgrats Islands is a delight for diving and snorkelling enthusiasts. The crystal clear waters are home to a variety of fish species, crustaceans and marine flora, making this area a popular snorkelling and diving spot. The underwater reefs and caves offer fascinating opportunities to explore an underwater world full of colour and life.
In addition to their rich marine life, the Malgrats Islands are also an important refuge for seabirds. During certain times of the year, these islands become a nesting and resting place for various species of birds such as gulls, cormorants and sea hawks. Birdwatchers will find a paradise of opportunities to admire these beautiful creatures in their natural habitat.
For those wishing to explore the Malgrats Islands from the mainland, there are options for scenic views and hiking. Although most of the islands are protected and no landings are allowed, our Illes Malgrats boat rental tours surround them, giving our clients the opportunity to admire their cliffs, rock formations and natural beauty from the sea.
Given their ecological importance, the Malgrats Islands are protected under the category of Natural Area of Special Interest (ANEI) by the government of the Balearic Islands. This means that measures have been implemented to preserve their natural environment and to ensure that human activities are carried out in a sustainable manner so as not to disturb the local flora and fauna.
In short, the Malgrats Islands are a natural paradise off the coast of Mallorca, a must-see destination for lovers of the sea, nature and wildlife. Whether exploring the seabed with our Turbo Snorkel Tour, watching seabirds or enjoying the panoramic views from the sea in one of our boats without license, the Malgrats Islands offer an unforgettable experience and a reminder of the importance of conserving and protecting these natural treasures for future generations.
