Dragonera
Dragonera, Spain
Sa Dragonera is a small, dragon‑shaped islet and protected natural park off Mallorca’s southwest coast, reached by a short boat trip from Sant Elm; it’s a rugged, car‑free reserve of coastal paths, scrubland, ruined watchtowers and abundant wildlife, notably seabirds and endemic lizards.
What Makes It Special
A compact network of coastal trails leads to cliff‑top vantage points and old watchtower ruins where you can observe the endemic Lilford’s wall lizard and seabirds against dramatic open‑sea panoramas — a concentrated wild experience close to the mainland.
Insider Tips
There are virtually no facilities on the islet: bring ample water, sun protection and sturdy shoes, take an early boat for cooler temperatures and better wildlife viewing, and always confirm return boat times before you go ashore.
