Cala Vinyes’ local character ranges from the shady sandy beach and the seafront promenade to a quarry on a rocky slope at the entrance. When planning your visit, consider both these coastal features and how to get there, as well as the wider context of the destination of Calvià.
Beach, Water and Promenade
Palm trees provide shade on Cala Vinyes beach. In summer, locals and tourists enjoy swimming in the clear water over a shallow sandy seabed. Behind the beach runs a palm-lined waterfront promenade where you can stroll by the sea. This gives you two distinct options for beach-focused days: summer swimming and a walk along the coast.
Getting There and Getting Around
TIB bus route 105 serves Cala Vinyes on the route between Sol de Mallorca and Palma. Routes may change, so check the operator’s latest information before travelling. The general route into and out of Cala Vinyes is via Magaluf. For your journey, it is therefore helpful to consider two separate details: the TIB route and the specified way in and out.
Another Local Feature: the Quarry
At the entrance to Cala Vinyes, the quarry lies on a rocky slope. It is one of three catalogued examples of this type of extraction site in the municipality of Calvià.
