What Is Sa Coma Like?

Sa Coma is a beach resort located in northeast Mallorca. Boasting a stunning blue flag beach and many leisure activities, it’s no wonder, so many families choose it as their holiday base. In north Sa Coma sits Cala Millor, and in the south, you’ll find Porto Cristo – a beautiful fishing village.

Sa Coma is a small resort part of the municipality of Sant Llorenç des Cardassar, ideal for both holidaying couples and families. There are plenty of beautiful beaches for sun lovers to choose from – Play de Sa Coma and one in Cala Millor, and another in S’Illot. The marinas in Porto Cristo and Cala Bona are also worth a visit.

History & Culture Of Sa Coma

In the 1980s, Sa Coma was created as a residential development and tourist resort. In 1985, the headland that adjoins Sa Coma, Sa Punta de n’Amer, was given the title of an official nature reserve.

There, you can discover the defensive tower, Es Castell, which was built in the 17th century. This incredible tower offers not only amazing sea views but also has its own museum. A ring of these towers can be found all over Mallorca, and they were used as warning systems and defences against pirate attacks!

Beaches In Sa Coma

The Sa Coma beach is one of the top 20 Mallorcan beaches and is nearly a kilometre long, with clear water that’s quite shallow. If there are easterly winds, there may be waves, but the lifeguards watch the beach and its sunbathers.

This sandy beach also has many sunbeds and umbrellas, as well as toilets and showers too. Behind the beach, you’ll find a promenade that’s perfect for an evening stroll as it stretches to Cala Moreya, south of the town of S’Illot.

The 4-star Hipotels Mediterraneo Club is situated next to the Sa Coma beach and offers lots of activities for the whole family.

You can visit some amazing beaches to the south of the island. The beautiful bay of Cala Varques has two sandy beaches that are ideal for diving and swimming. Keep in mind there is a short walk from the car park to the beach, so try to pack light!

Safari zoo park

If you’re staying in Sa Coma, don’t forget to visit the Safari zoo park. Although this is a fun day out, be on the lookout for monkeys jumping onto your car!
