One of the smallest resorts in Mallorca, Cala Sant Vicenç offers holidaymakers peace and tranquillity set against a dramatic background of rugged cliffs and crystal-clear seas. A pretty coastal village, Cala Sant Vicenç has two main sandy coves, Cala Barques and Cala Molins, which are under a 10-minute walk from Villa Bruixola.
Cala Barques is a beautiful little cove with breath taking views of the cliffs in the surrounding area. A sandy beach with dreamy blue seas, it is perfect for a day of well-earned rest and relaxation. The waters here are incredibly clear, making it an idyllic spot for snorkelling or scuba diving, both of which are provided by local companies, as well as in Cala Molins.
Cala Molins is the larger beach of the two and is a popular choice for those who want to hire a sun lounger and spend the day soaking up the sunshine. With great views of the mountains in the distance, kayaks are available to tourists and provide a great opportunity to explore the surrounding cliffs. These beaches offer the ideal balance of fun and relaxation – the perfect day out for everyone.
Originally a fishing village, Cala Sant Vicenç has a variety of restaurants that serve delicious Mallorcan fish dishes at reasonable prices. As well as seafood restaurants, there are other eateries that offer tapas and other Mediterranean cuisine, with plenty to choose from for both adults and children. Many of the restaurants are situated on the water’s edge and provide a picture-perfect setting to sit back and relax whilst enjoying fresh, local produce, with views overlooking the bay.
There is a small selection of convenience stores in Cala Sant Vicenç, with the larger supermarkets located towards nearby town Port de Pollenca, for greater variety. Port de Pollenca, around a 15-minute walk from Villa Bruixola, also holds a market selling fresh food, clothes and souvenirs every Wednesday morning, perfect for experiencing the local culture of the island and soaking up the vibrant atmosphere.
Port de Pollenca offers a wide range of restaurants and bars, with its buzzy atmosphere proving popular with both local residents and tourists. The beachfront is the main attraction, dramatically split into two different dimensions – the contemporary, commercial Port de Pollenca Beach, lined with holiday apartments and tourist shops, and the Pine Walk Promenade, an idyllic setting that sees the tranquil beach lined with traditional chalets and most strikingly, tall pine trees arching towards the sea.
