Cala Millor & Sa Coma
Cala Millor and the neighboring Sa Coma are the classic holiday resorts of the east coast — here large hotels, apartment complexes, restaurants with German menus, and perfect tourist infrastructure dominate. Not the most authentic Mallorca, but a solid choice for families and beach lovers who appreciate comfort and convenience.
The beach of Cala Millor is impressive: almost 2 kilometers of fine, white sand, lined with a wide beach promenade. Sunshades and loungers (about 8–10€/set), lifeguards, beach bars, pedal boats, banana boats — everything is available. The water is clear but drops off faster than in the Bay of Alcúdia, making it more pleasant for older children and adults. The promenade seamlessly transitions into the neighboring Cala Bona — a former fishing village with a small harbor and a more relaxed atmosphere.
Sa Coma lies south of Cala Millor and offers its own 800 m long sandy beach in a wide bay. Behind it stretches the Punta de n'Amer — an undeveloped headland with an old watchtower (17th century) and hiking trails through pine forest and scrubland. A surprisingly wild natural spot right next to the tourist area. On the Punta de n'Amer, there is a small nature park with donkeys, goats, and peacocks — children love it.
The highlight of the region for families is the Safari Zoo Mallorca (officially: Safari Zoo, near Sa Coma): A safari park that you can drive through with your own car or a train. Giraffes, rhinos, zebras, antelopes, monkeys, and more in spacious enclosures. Plus a pedestrian area with a reptile house, parrot show, and mini zoo. Children between 3 and 10 years are thrilled.
Safari Zoo: Entry about 22€ (adults), 14€ (children 3–12), under 3 free. Daily 9:30 am–5 pm (summer until 6 pm). Safari tour with own car or train included. On the Carretera Ma-4023 between Sa Coma and Porto Cristo.
In the evening, Cala Millor and Sa Coma offer a lively infrastructure: The beach promenade in Cala Millor is ideal for an evening stroll (ice cream parlors, souvenir shops, street performers), and there are numerous bars and clubs for nightlife. More family-friendly is the promenade of Cala Bona — quieter, with restaurants at the small harbor.
💡 Tipp
The Punta de n'Amer between Cala Millor and Sa Coma is a rewarding walk (about 45 min round trip to the tower). Best in the morning or evening. The tower can be climbed (2€) and offers a fantastic panoramic view. For the Safari Zoo: Come in the morning when the animals are more active, and bring enough water.
