A small beach resort in the south west of the island, Peguera – also known as Paguera – sits on the coast near Andratx. It offers idyllic blue flag beaches, along with a good selection of hotels and restaurants catering for a full range of budgets.
Peguera
Holiday beach resort in the south west of Majorca
The direct translation of Peguera from Catalan to English is "oven tar", and refers to the oven tar produced from the mass of pine tree resin found in this area.
Many of the hotels are located on the hillside above the beach, which means it might not be the most attractive choice for those with mobility problems. In the summer, there is a lovely bustling atmosphere but many of the hotels and restaurants are seasonal, which means Peguera is a quiet place in the winter. The few visitors that do descend on the town in the winter will experience a completely different side to the town.
In the summer months, Peguera is favoured among German families as a beach holiday destination and is often referred to as ‘Little Germany’, although the resort still receives a wholesome influx of British visitors throughout the year.
Events in Peguera
The biggest event Peguera hosts is the Challenge Peguera-Mallorca, a middle distance triathlon. It usually takes place in October and provides the perfect end-of-season hit out for European athletes.
Peguera does get involved in the traditional fiestas that take place throughout the year, such as the Sant Crist de Mar celebrations in September, and its neighbouring town of Andratx is where most people will gather. Check out all the latest local events in our events calendar.

History & Culture in Peguera
Peguera's early history
Over the centuries Peguera has been shaped by a succession of civilisations who valued its strategic position on the coast. The Romans established settlements here, making use of the natural resources and easy access to maritime trade routes. Under Moorish rule the area retained its importance as a point of control over the sea. These layers of history have left a lasting cultural imprint, turning a visit to this town into a fascinating step back in time. Today Peguera welcomes travellers looking for more than beaches and sunshine, offering a holiday that blends relaxation with cultural discovery.
Recent times
Much of today’s architecture is from the 20th century, when the village succumbed to tourist development in the late 1950s and throughout the 1960s. Nowadays, it is primarily a modern family-friendly tourist resort with plenty of restaurants and facilities. It was the first resort in Mallorca to have its own artificial beach, created from imported sand.
Sights & Attractions in Peguera
History, architecture and culture in Peguera
Peguera’s history is reflected in its rich cultural heritage. A key landmark is the Parròquia del Sant Crist, a 15th century church that retains much of its original charm despite several renovations.
The town also features traditional fishermen’s houses, offering insight into life before tourism transformed the area. These historical buildings sit alongside modern developments, creating a striking contrast between past and present. Exploring these sites gives visitors a chance to connect with Peguera’s cultural legacy and see how the town and the island have evolved over the centuries, blending history with the vibrant life of today.
The main road travelling between Palma and Andratx used to cut straight through Peguera, which meant there was a bit of a traffic problem but, thanks to the construction of a bypass, it has become much more peaceful. The opening in 1996 of a seafront promenade connected the three beaches and made it more appealing as a 21st century tourist resort.
Beaches in Peguera
The resort consists of three beaches. Playa Palmira Beach is the main stretch but Playa Torà Beach and Playa Romana Beach are equally attractive and they have all been connected by the promenade. There are areas set up for sunbeds and parasols as well as stretches for a DIY experience. Being within a sheltered bay, the sea is calm and inviting. The promenade sits behind the beach, here you will find refreshments and any summer essentials you might need. Just outside Peguera is Cala Fornells, a pretty resort consisting of terracotta houses set around a pretty cove.
