💡 Tips
- Rent a scooter or car to explore the hidden coves along the 80km coastline, as public buses are very infrequent.
- For the iconic Es Vedrà sunset, arrive at the Torre de des Savinar viewpoint well before dusk to secure a parking spot.
- Hike up Sa Talaia (the island's highest point) in the early morning to completely avoid the intense midday heat.
- The inland village of Sant Josep is surprisingly peaceful compared to the coastal clubs-great for a relaxed morning coffee.

The municipality's coastline encompasses the most diverse beaches on the island. Here you will find the sandy, shallow waters of Platja de Cala Vedella and Cala Tarida, which are particularly popular with families. The coastline also hides smaller, rockier coves such as Cala Molí, Cala Codolar, or Cala llentia, which are less visited due to a lack of infrastructure. In the southern section lies Cala d'Hort, which features a direct view of the 400-meter-high rocky islet of Es Vedrà. Also in the south are Es Bol Nou, surrounded by red cliffs, and sa Caleta, which preserves the ruins of an ancient Phoenician settlement. The pebbly Cala des Jondal and the pine-fringed Platja de Cala Carbó are considered more exclusive bathing spots. In the eastern part of the coast lies the Ses Salines Natural Park, an area covered with salt marshes and sand dunes. Those looking for quieter bathing options can visit the fine-pebbled, natural beaches of Es Xarco and Es Torrent within the municipality's borders.
