Best of Mallorca: Santanyì

Updated June 2025
Santanyí feels nicely balanced:
A bi-weekly market, excellent restaurants, cute shops + some of the island’s most beautiful beaches only a 10-15 minute drive from town.
A charming town designed for pedestrians, park on the outskirts, and stroll into the centre of town.
Santanyí Market days are Wednesdays and Saturdays from 9am - 2pm. Here, you will find both produce + artisan goods.

Santanyì’s closest beaches + outdoor spaces
Cala Llombards
Sandy white shore with clear crystal waters, surrounded by cliffs for side seating and fisherman houses. Sunbeds for rent + beach bar (Chiringuito Cala Llombards).

Cala s’Almunia
Rocky cove, with cliffs surrounding the perimeter. Perfect for swimmers & cliff jumpers. Sister beach to Caló des Moro, with much more seating potential.
image via @elmundoenmicamara
Caló des Moro
Very small sandy beach cove, only 30m long and 20m wide. Also a bit of a scramble to get down to the beach. I do not recommend this beach June - August, it is too crowded.
