Ses Covetes is on the south east coast of Mallorca, and is a purpose built little resort with just a couple of cafes and some holiday accommodation.
Ses Covetes
Traditional beach resort in the south of Majorca
The village itself is small and peaceful, but was at one time the centre of an environmental and legal controversy. There are couple of bars and restaurants but nothing too crazy goes on here. The area seems to have suffered from the economic difficulties of recent years - sadly, there are a number of half-finished developments along the coastline.

History & Culture in Colonia de Sant Jordi
The name Ses Covetes translates to ‘the small caves’ in Catalan, likely referencing the natural rock formations in the area. Historically the surrounding area was rural and agricultural, sparsely populated used mainly for fishing, farming and the like.
Much of the land around here is a designated protected natural zone, which limits development. In the nineties a large complex was planned, and following environmental protests and years of legal battles the Spanish Supreme Cour upheld the area's protected status and any buildings were torn down.
Beaches in Colonia de Sant Jordi
People come here for one thing - to get to Platja Es Trenc, a 3km stretch of fine white sand backed by gentle dunes. Es Trenc is one of Mallorca's most famous beaches. It is in a natural setting, south facing and very beautiful.
On the other side of the town is the equally nice Sa Rapita beach.

Sa Rapita Beach, South Mallorca
Lovely white sand beach with turquoise water in the south-east of Mallorca

Es Trenc Beach, Ses Covetes
A prominent and unspoilt beach on Mallorca’s south coast
Unassigned to any of the island’s numerous holiday resorts, the stunning beach of Es Trenc is geographically fairly isolated with a wonderful wild and natural feel. With 2km of bleached white sand and transparent water, it's often referred to as more Caribbean than Mediterranean in characteristics.

-
Cala Pi Beach, South Mallorca
Picture-postcard beach with gold sand and turquoise waters
Sheltered and protected from the winds, Cala Pi sits nestled between two tall rocky cliffs, with its name 'Pi' deriving from the pine trees bordering its clifftops. You can often see yachts moored at the end of the cove, further enhancing its already picture-perfect visual appeal.
Dining in Colonia de Sant Jordi
Dining in Ses Covetes is charmingly simple and unpretentious. Expect a few cafés by the beach for coffee or light bites, casual local bars or cafés in the village, and one or two beach-side spots with a focus on local produce. It’s more about enjoying fresh flavours and the relaxed pace than fine dining.
