Cala Sant Vicenc

Small beach resort with crystal clear waters in the north-west

featured in Towns & Villages Updated

Known in Castillian Spanish as Cala San Vincente and in Mallorquin as Cala Sant Vicenc, this is one of the smallest resorts on Mallorca.

Nestled on the far north west coast, Cala Sant Vicenc is part of the municipal district of Pollenca and is more or less half way between the town of Pollenca and Puerto Pollenca. Originally a fishing village, the town of Cala Sant Vicenc has several small bays with rugged & dramatic rocks and cliffs. The main attraction here is the tranquility and the collection of small beaches.

The resort is divided in two parts by a rocky outcrop that protrudes between the beaches of Cala Barques and Cala Molins. One thing to be aware of in Cala Sant Vicenc is that the whole village is built on steep hillsides and so it is on different levels, therefore there is some uphill/downhill walking required.

How to get to Cala Sant Vicenc

By car

Car hire is a viable option in Mallorca, and Cala Sant Vicenc is about 1 hour away by car. Alternatively you could book a private transfer to take the hassle out of driving yourself.

Public transport

Public transport will obviously take a lot longer and involves a change of buses in Palma city, so it's not our first choice of getting to resort.
