Hidden away near Porto Cristo on Majorca’s east coast, Hams Caves offers an eye-catching trip beneath the island's surface. Discovered in 1905, these underground chambers are famous for their distinctive hook-shaped stalactites, known as “hams” in the local Majorcan language, and are considered one of Majorca’s most interesting natural attractions.
Inside, you’ll find a bunch of illuminated galleries that reveal cryptic rock formations, mirror-like underground lakes, and even a light-and-music show that brings the caves to life.
You can get scenic and atmospheric tours here, which guide you through the different chambers with dramatic lighting that highlights the intricate rock formations. The cool air and quiet atmosphere make it an ideal escape from the island heat. Whether you're a fan of geology, curious sights, or simply looking to do something different, Hams Caves offers an off-beat detour from the usual sun-and-sea itinerary.
