The soul of southern Majorca
If you love your holidays with a mix of beach time, culture, and local flair, Santanyí on Majorca’s southeast coast is the place for you. Santanyí grew as a fortified town to protect against pirate raids, fast-forward to the present day and this is one of the island’s most visited places, and for good reason. The sun-soaked town oozes rustic charm, with honey-coloured stone buildings, boutique shops, and a bustling twice-weekly market that fills the streets with chatter, colour, and local produce.
Just outside of town, you’ll find some of Majorca’s prettiest coves, like Cala Santanyí and the postcard-perfect Cala Llombards – both ideal for swimming and snorkelling in crystal-clear turquoise water. Love the outdoors? Head to Mondragó Natural Park for scenic hikes and quiet coves, while foodies can tuck into tapas or fresh seafood at one of the town’s stylish courtyard restaurants. In the evenings, enjoy a relaxed glass of local wine as the sun sets over the sandstone rooftops. Santanyí is peaceful, authentic, and effortlessly beautiful – the kind of place that captures the true spirit of Majorca.
