Holidays in Sa Coma
Spain Main Guide | Majorca Main Guide
Sa Coma is a purpose-built resort
that lies right in the heart of the popular east
coast of Majorca, sandwiched between lively Cala
Millor and the restaurant-strewn seafront of S'Illot.
Sa Coma itself is largely frequented by British
families, most opting for self-catering style
accommodation. The resort establishments cater
particularly well for children, who make the most
of the wide sandy beach with its broad shallow
shelf of clear, blue water.

Sightseeing in Sa Coma
The more energetic visitors can make the climb
up to the medieval watchtower on the headland
at Punta de n'Amer. This climb is well worth the
45-minute walk for the beautiful view afforded
from the top, where there is also a café
providing refreshments. Also popular are several
sight-seeing boat trips and excursions to attractions
on the island including the Caves of Ham and Drac,
where stalactites, stalagmites and an underground
lake await the visitor. The nearby town of S'Illot
can be reached on foot, while a tourist tram connects
Sa Coma with Cala Millor and the attractions available
there.
Sa Coma Beaches
Sa Coma's beautiful beach has 'Blue Flag' status
for cleanliness, water quality and safety. The
beach is fronted by a wide promenade lined with
restaurants, bars and shops, many of them British
owned.
Shopping in Sa Coma
Sa Coma and the neighboring resorts have plentiful
shops and boutiques selling souvenirs and tourist
essentials. Families and groups on self-catering
holidays will find a good selection of food at
the Caprabo hypermarket on the Avinguda de les
Palmeres. For a traditional market take the bus
to the nearby town of Son Servera on a Friday
morning for great bargains and a selection of
local handicrafts.
Activities in Sa Coma
There is lots to do in Sa Coma and the nearby
area as well as spend time on the beach, although
this is the main reason most families choose to
come to Sa Coma. As well as a range of water sports
(equipment and pedalo boats are available for
hire along the promenade) there are several 18-hole
golf courses, tennis and squash courts, horse-riding,
mini-golf, bowling, go-carting, and bicycling
facilities. Children especially enjoy the Golf
Paradis 54-hole mini golf course set among beautiful
fountains, waterfalls and palm trees. Another
big bonus for the children is the resort's proximity
to Cala Millor's large safari park, where gazelles,
ostriches, apes and elephants are among the animals
that roam in a simulated natural environment and
can be viewed from a safari bus.
Being a family resort, the nightlife in Sa Coma
is not wild, entertainment being mainly hotel
based. The neighboring town of Cala Millor offers
a more lively after-dark scene for those interested.
The only disco in the Sa Coma is Estrumbols, at
S'Illot. One of the most popular evening spots
is Crazy Monkeys, a relaxed Spanish-style cocktail
bar.
Culture in Sa Coma
The ancient hilltop town of Arta has been occupied
for about 3,000 years, and today welcomes visitors
to the remains of its Bronze Age settlement at
Ses Paisses, just outside the town in a grove
of olive, carob and oak trees. Arta presents a
picturesque sight from the Santuari de Sant Salvador,
the chapel-shrine on top of the hill, with its
bleached rooftops spilling down the hillside below
the battlements of a Moorish fortress.
Situated in the hills, towards the north east
of Mallorca, Pollensa is a peaceful old town that
has been largely unaffected by tourism. The town
was established a few miles inland to protect
against any sudden pirate attacks; its harbor,
Puerto Pollensa, was left as an unprotected outpost.
Food in Sa Coma
Sa Coma offers a varied selection of great restaurants.
Hearty British food is the popular staple served
at Jay Jays. BiBaBo café and music bar
on the S'Illot front mixes the best of British
with some Spanish dishes for families wanting
the best of both worlds. The top restaurant in
town for Spanish and Majorcan cuisine is Lago.
