Cala Santanyí
Cala Santanyí, Balearic Islands, Spain
Cala Santanyí is a small, sheltered sandy cove on Mallorca’s south‑east coast near the town of Santanyí, prized for its clear, shallow turquoise water, pine‑fringed sandstone cliffs and a relaxed small‑harbour feel with cafés and family‑friendly amenities close to the shore.
What Makes It Special
The bay’s compact, calm waters make it particularly good for families and snorkellers—you can swim in crystal‑clear conditions and then stroll a short promenade to terraces serving fresh seafood and local dishes.
Insider Tips
In high season arrive early or late afternoon to avoid the busiest periods and limited parking; bring sun protection and snorkel gear, and consider combining the visit with nearby coves such as Cala Llombards or the trails of Mondragó Natural Park.
