Swimming in Santanyí

Santanyí lies inland in the south-east corner of Mallorca, about 50 km south-east of Palma, with its coves a few kilometres away. Cala Llombards and Caló des Moro are about 2 km apart, and Cala Mondragó sits inside its own natural park further north-east. On Wednesdays and Saturdays a market of local food, pottery and crafts fills the town's streets and square, about 4 km inland from Cala Llombards.

Questions about Santanyí

Can you drive to Caló des Moro from Santanyí?

Not to the cove itself: no road reaches it. Santanyí points visitors to the car park at the entrance to Cala Llombards, and from there it's about 1.5 km on foot through the houses of Sa Comuna. The last stretch down to the water is over rock.

Is there a bus to Cala Mondragó near Santanyí?

Yes, in summer: TIB line 521 runs from Cala d'Or to Cala Mondragó. From the Ses Fonts de n'Alis car park it's about 6 minutes' walk to the beach, and a 400 m coast path links it to s'Amarador.

Can you take a dog to Cala Mondragó in Santanyí?

No. Dogs aren't allowed on the beaches of Mondragó Natural Park, and fishing is banned along its whole coast.

How warm is the sea at Santanyí in September?

Typically about 25 °C in September, close to the August peak of about 26 °C. It's usually around 22 °C in June and October.
