Deals from £221 per person

Built in the 1980s with families in mind, Sa Coma is ideal for those with little ones and couples who want their Sa Coma holidays to be peaceful and relaxing. The resort’s beach might only be 1km long, but you’d be hard pressed to find one so picturesque. Golden sands sweep across a crescent-shaped bay, gently shelving into the Mediterranean making it safe for little ones who want a paddle, and with excellent water sports for the grown-ups.

The palm-strewn promenade is traffic-free and your holiday wouldn’t be complete without an evening stroll to watch the spectacular sunset. If walking doesn’t tick the right boxes, you can even go along the coast on horseback and take refreshing dip at the beach in Sa Punta.

Things to do

With stunning countryside and a breath-taking coastline, you’ll find that there’s plenty to do in and around Sa Coma. If you want to get a glimpse of the marine life, but don’t fancy putting on bulky scuba gear, you can hop on a glass-bottomed boat and see the shimmering shoals and mischievous dolphins, and catch some sunshine at the same time!

For something above the water but below the ground, take a trip to the Caves of Drach, where you can row a boat across a subterranean lake and listen to music while enjoying a meal in an underground restaurant. Need to keep the little ones happy? Head to Sa Coma’s Safari Zoo, a great day out for all the family.

Beautiful beach

Sa Coma’s Blue Flag beach is the ideal place to relax and unwind as you sit back and soak up the picturesque scenery. It’s easy for the whole family to spend the entire day at the beach enjoying some sun and a relaxing pedalo ride on the warm Balearic water. If you need a bit of action, get involved with some of the water sports available at the beach, or have a go at scuba diving.

Great for exploring

If you love the great outdoors, you’re in a great place to explore. Go for a walk out across the cape to the north of town, a nature reserve where you can visit a castle and experience fabulous views. There are lots of lovely seaside towns close to Sa Coma that are easy to reach if you hire a car, including neighbouring S’illot, as well as a number of Majorca’s famous cave networks.

Fun nightlife

As the day draws to a close, sit down at a table with views out to sea and watch the sunset change the colours in the sky. There are plenty of bars where you can have a few drinks, or enjoy family-friendly activities like quizzes, bingo and karaoke nights. If you want a livelier night out, Cala Millor’s busy strip is just a short taxi ride away.

Getting around Sa Coma

By public transport: It’s best not to rely too heavily on the public transport around Majorca’s east coast, although buses do run into Palma, Manacor, the Caves of Drach and Cala Millor. However, these can be unreliable.

By hire car: You can hire a car locally, or at Palma de Mallorca Airport. Once you’ve got used to driving on the other side of the road, you’ll find that hire cars are a great way to enjoy Sa Coma and its surroundings, without having to work around the erratic bus timetables.

By taxi: Taxis are available to take those in search of a livelier party atmosphere out to the bars and dance floors of Cala Millor, which is about five minutes’ drive away. It’s worth remembering that taxis don’t offer child seats. Your child can sit on your knee or you can make arrangements for a child seat through pre-booking a taxi and stating your needs.

Events in Sa Coma

Saintly celebrations: The middle of July is when Sa Coma transforms itself to celebrate the Patron Saints’ Day Festival. You can attend open-air concerts, watch sporting events, turn the little ones loose for children’s activities, and munch your way around the world at the Multicultural Fair, where dishes from across the globe are on offer.

Farming festivities: Visit in April to attend the annual Andratx livestock and agricultural fair, which brings arts, crafts, livestock exhibitions and a carriage-racing competition to town.

Yachting elite: Pick out your favourite among the stylish and sophisticated vessels on display at the Palma International Boat Show in May, with the magnificent cathedral as a stunning backdrop.
