Santanyí on Mallorca: Coves, Arches and a Fishing Village

The coast around Santanyí, in southeast Mallorca, is what creators come here for. Cala Llombards, posted four times, is a clear-water cove with a beach bar. Nearby, the limestone arch of Es Pontàs rises 20 meters out of the sea, and one creator's advice is to go for sunrise. Cala Figuera, a fishing village with a Y-shaped harbor, appears in two posts.

At the southern tip of the island, Cap de Ses Salines is the quiet end of the list, a rocky cape with salt marshes and open sea views. Every natural spot here is free to visit. Beyond the sunrise tip, the posts say little, so the notes below lean on the listings: what each beach offers, how to reach the arch, and what the village and the cape have.

Swimming and the arch

Cala Llombards is a free public beach with clear water for swimming and a Mediterranean beach bar on site, quiet by the listing's account. Es Pontàs sits between Cala Santanyí and Cala Llombards. You see it best from the Mirador Es Pontas, and you can only get close by boat or by swimming. Since the two are so close, a sunrise at the arch followed by a swim at Llombards makes an easy morning.

Cala Figuera and Cap de Ses Salines

Cala Figuera is built around its harbor, with fishermen's houses, wooden boats, small docks and fish markets, the Torre d'en Bèu lighthouse and walks along the coast. Cap de Ses Salines is the southernmost point of Mallorca, with a rugged shoreline, protected salt marshes for birdwatching and wide views of the Mediterranean.

Good to know

One creator recommends heading out for sunrise. The 20-meter limestone arch is best viewed from the Mirador Es Pontas lookout, between Cala Santanyí and Cala Llombards, and it can only be reached up close by boat or by swimming.
