As a coastal resort, Cala Bona borders Cala Millor directly. Port de Cala Bona is a small fishing port that has retained its traditional charm. Playa Cala Bona comprises three beaches separated by breakwaters; the sandy beach is about 340 m long. A coastal route that is not a circular trail adds a specific route with its own start and finish to the resort’s appeal. The port, beach, and route offer different ways to plan your stay according to your interests.
Port, Beach, and History
The area of Playa Cala Bona once served as a refuge for fishing boats and was urbanized from the 1960s onwards. The coast therefore has a maritime history as well as a later phase of development.
The water at Playa Cala Bona is calm and shallow. Beach facilities include a lifeguard service, sun loungers, and parasols; availability may vary by season. Access ramps and paths with colored side markings assist people with visual impairments. Since facilities and amenities may change, check the relevant details before your trip, especially if a particular feature is important to you.
Planning the Coastal Route
The coastal route, which is not a circular trail, starts at the Cala Bona Tourist Information Office and ends at Platja Sa Marjal (Costa de los Pinos). It is 3.28 km long, takes about one hour, and is rated easy; the cumulative ascent is 1 m and the cumulative descent is 8 m. The distance, approximate duration, and elevation figures describe different aspects of the route, while the easy rating provides an additional indication. The approximate one-hour duration is the relevant guide for planning your time. Check the route details locally for changes before setting out.
From the starting point, the route follows the cycle path towards Costa dels Pins, runs along Cala Bona’s seafront promenade, and continues along Camà de Sa Punta. It passes Port Vell beach and then follows the coast to Sa Marjal beach. Since the start and finish are in different places, factor the return journey into your plans.
In winter, Cala Bona is ideal for long walks by the sea. The coastal route offers a more specific timeframe: it has a named starting point, a different destination, and an approximate duration of one hour. This lets you distinguish the seasonal invitation to enjoy long walks from planning a particular route.
A Market Day in Son Servera
You can also include the wider destination of Son Servera in your plans: its market takes place regularly on Friday mornings. This recurring day of the week is a useful starting point for planning your week. If you would like to visit the market, check the date for your preferred day. This keeps it as a separate planning item alongside the beach and coastal route in Cala Bona.
