The area around Santanyi offers some of Mallorca's "best" beaches and coves. One of these is definitely Cala Llombards beach in the small resort of the same name. About 150 metres wide, the beach offers fine white sand and a gentle entrance to the calm waters of a narrow bay about 200 metres long.
The clear water and the reef edges of the beach invite snorkelling, while the calm and shallow water invites swimming and water play for children.
