Reserva Marina del Llevant (El Faralló) – Balearic Islands – Mallorca

Site Overview

The Reserva Marina del Llevant off Cala Ratjada protects Mallorca’s best eastern walls, with the El Faralló pinnacle a highlight for large groupers, barracuda, dentex and amberjack over gorgonian-clad drop-offs. Visibility reaches 30 m in summer and the protected status keeps the fish bold and abundant. Intermediate and advanced divers follow the vertical walls, while the surrounding reserve offers several sites for all levels. The Llevant reserve is a cornerstone of Mallorcan diving. The site rewards careful planning, good buoyancy and respect for Spain’s marine-protection rules, and remains a favourite among divers who value dramatic volcanic or Mediterranean scenery, historic wrecks and rich marine life across a long, varied season.
