Set within the municipality of Arta, Colònia de Sant Pere is a small, unpretentious fishing village located on the northeast. It's one of few villages on Mallorca’s coastline to resist succumbing to tourism, which means that, even in the peak summertime, the most common language you will hear on its beach is Spanish.
Colònia de Sant Pere
Small coastal town in north-east Mallorca
Colònia de Sant Pere has all the qualities you could want from a quiet holiday retreat. Its glowing assets include a pretty traditional style harbour and a promenade lined with restaurants overlooking a small sandy beach. This place is a world away from resort life, so don’t expect large scale hotels, commercial activities or nightlife, instead just a few tourists enjoying the Mallorcan sunshine in an authentic Spanish village.
In the summertime, families tend to inhabit some of the large villas in this region and there are quite a few internationally-owned boats mooring in the harbour. Lovers of the great outdoors, particularly cycling and hiking enthusiasts are also fond of the area.
Events in Colonia de Sant Pere
Religious festivals
The biggest festival in Colònia de Sant Pere is celebrated in honour of the village’s patron saint, Sant Pere, on the evening of 29 June. In true Mallorcan style, the locals come out in full force with music, dancing and fireworks.

History & Culture in Colonia de Sant Pere
The present-day Colònia de Sant Pere was founded in the early 19th century. In 1820, after one of the last and deadliest outbreaks of the bubonic plague in nearby Artà, many survivors sought refuge along the coast and established the settlement. Before this, the area around Colònia de Sant Pere was said to be known for wild boar hunting according to local legend.
Beaches in Colonia de Sant Pere
There’s a lovely little sandy beach in Colònia de Sant Pere, which is about 80 metres long and child-friendly thanks to a man-made breakpoint. On the other side of this breakpoint, there’s a popular surf area. Sun loungers and parasol rentals are nowhere to be seen, which means there are more locals and fewer tourists visiting this particular beach.

-
Sa Canova Beach, North Mallorca
Two kilometres of unspoilt beach, popular with walkers, surfers and nudists

-
Playa de Son Real Beach, North Mallorca
Almost deserted stretch of rugged coastline popular with nudists
There is a 5km patch of isolated coast between Playa Son Baulo and Son Serra de Marina in North Mallorca that is known as Playa de Son Real.

-
Son Baulo Beach, Ca'n Picafort
White sand beach backed by sand dunes and rock formations
The beach at Son Baulo is a good antidote to the heaving masses and consumerism of neighbouring Ca’n Picafort. Still busy and still boasting everything you need, Son Baulo has managed to retain some character and a bit more class than its larger and better-known neighbour.
