Andratx: what to see

/in /by

A must for those who want to explore the Serra de Tramuntana and home to artists and writers throughout history, Andratx, also known as “la Vila”, is a quiet municipality in the southeast of the island that preserves its traditional character, especially in its fishing port: Port d’Andratx.

Both from the historical-patrimonial point of view, as well as the landscape and nature, Andratx offers visitors multiple experiences in any of its urban centers.

Camp de Mar

It is home to some of the most beautiful beaches on the island. Another of its attractions, such as the tower des cap Andritxol, built to defend the island from pirate attacks, contrasts with other more modern elements, such as the Andratx Golf course facilities, ideal for practicing this sport.

Puerto de Andratx

It is an excellent claim for lovers of the sea and nautical. While in the past it was a refuge for fishermen and has managed to preserve its picturesque appearance, today it largely lives off exclusive residential tourism.

Walking along the promenade and the pier, where the Lonja is located is one of the most pleasant activities to do in this pleasant cosmopolitan and cheerful corner in equal measure, where there is also a place for shopping, sun and bathing and leisure night.

You cannot leave Puerto de Andratx without stopping at one of the terraces overlooking the sea along the promenade, such as Can Pep, or at the emblematic Club de Vela Puerto de Andratx , a perfectly equipped marina.

S’Arracó

It is a small town of less than 1,000 inhabitants that enlightens the sight of any visitor with its charming low houses with orchards or gardens, typical of inland towns.

You can always make a stop on the way in one of the three cafes where visitors usually congregate, before contemplating the church of “Sant Crist”, the building of “ca Ses Monges” or daring with an excursion to the monastery of La Trap.

Sa Coma

Home to old estates such as Son Lluís and beautiful possessions, Sa Coma is nestled in the Coma Calenta valley and is home to the CCA Andratx, a cultural center dedicated to contemporary art on the island with several exhibition spaces, a café and a gift shop .

Sant Elm

The troops of Jaime I anchored in this coastal nucleus before landing in Santa Ponça. Until the beginning of the s. XX fishing and salting were its main economic activities. At present, it is a small tourist center that does not lack anything: bars, restaurants, shops, etc.

The tower of Sant Elm, the monastery of La Trapa or the defense towers of creeks in Basset and Llebeig are some of the examples of its vast historical heritage. To cool off and sunbathe, the beaches “sa Gran” and “sa Petita”, with fine sand, and those of Cala Conills and Basset stand out.

Sant Elm also has the honor of having two natural areas of great interest: the Dragonera Island Natural Park and the Trapa Natural Reserve, perfect for family tourism.

The best beaches near Puerto de Andratx

/in /by

Andratx has a total of 24 beaches and coves where you can enjoy a relaxing bath. Some are accessible by car and public transport and others can only be reached on foot. In any case, there are options for all tastes!

Cala en Fonoll is one of the coves closest to Puerto de Andratx. Although its location (between cliffs) makes access on foot difficult, the views of the port, its crystal clear waters and the privacy it offers are plenty of reasons to dare to walk, not recommended for children. From the nearby Cala Moragues, located about 180 meters, it can also be reached by skirting the sea more easily. This cove of sand and stones is usually frequented by tourists from the nearest hotels.

Following the coast and without leaving the Puerto de Andratx area, Cala d’Egos can be reached on foot, swimming or kayaking, suitable for bathing, diving and anchoring boats. It is not usually very crowded, precisely because of the difficulty of access. This sea inlet has a large ravine as a backdrop where a torrent flows, which gives rise to a dry and rugged landscape with low mountains and pine trees.

Another unspoiled corner that no swimmer who stops at Puerto de Andratx cannot miss is Cala Marmassen, located in the eastern part of the Punta de la Mola peninsula, ideal for diving and snorkeling. Despite having areas with stairs to get out of the sea, it is not a place to visit with children since it is located in a rocky area surrounded by cliffs of up to 128 meters and its access is difficult.

Cala Llamp is also a ‘must’ for visitors to Puerto de Andratx. Just a kilometer and a half from the Port and with natural shadows in the surroundings, this beautiful cove of stones and rocks, 122 meters long, offers wonderful views of Sa Dragonera and the mountains of Sa Mola and Galtazó. The vehicle can be parked for free in the vicinity and you just have to go down some stairs to bathe in its waters.

Finally, the beach of Camp de Mar, with fine sand, calm waters and in the shape of a “U,” is another of the obligatory stops. Located between Cap Andritxol and Platja de ses Dones, it is perfect for all types of visitors. The small islet (‘Illeta’) located in the middle of it is surprising, which can be accessed through a wooden walkway, located on a bridge that serves as a jetty for some of the swallows that lead to the Dragonera.

After a day at the beach, your appetite is sure to wake up. Forget about cooking. At Cap Pep we are open every day so you can unhurriedly taste the best of Mediterranean cuisine accompanied by an extensive wine list. Reserve your table now.
