Traditional rural town in the south east of Majorca
Ses Salines is a small village in the south east of Mallorca. It and its associated port Colonia St Jordi have a rich history thanks to its location on fertile land.
There are ancient salt mines dating back to Roman times. The salt produced here has become a major industry for the area, with gourmet flavoured salts being produced for export. The sea salt is extracted during August using traditional methods.

A special Halloween event

The tapas phenomenon is now firmly established as part of Palma's culinary scene, so much so that the restaurant owners decided to celebrate 'tapas' with a food fair - TaPalma!
The discovery of Roman remains in Ses Salines has led to the belief that Roman troops, under the command of Cecilio Metellus, arrived here in the year 123 BC to exploit the S'Avall salt flats. In fact the name of the town means ‘source of salt’. Salt mining grew considerably during the Roman period until the 6th century AD.
During the Islamic occupation that followed it seems the exploitation of Ses Salines continued. After the Christian conquest, led by King Jaume 1 in 1229, the salt mines were considered to be royal property, until 1255 when he gave them up to Arnau de Cruilles.
In the 1300s the area became the property of the Torrella family, followed by the Dezcallar family which still preserves it today. They have protected and exploited the salt flats here, either directly or through lease management, over the centuries through to modern times.
Aside from the salt production you will be interested in the nearby Bronze Age settlements which date back to the 9th century.
There are many historical building in Ses Salines including the Church of St Bartholomew, there is of course the golden sandstone architecture to admire.

If you are looking for a beach where you can get away from it all, then Es Carbo may be the one for you. A 30 minute walk east from Colonia St Jordi in the south of Mallorca, it is a vast stretch of white sand that sits in a protected bay.
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.
With beautiful views and crystal clear water it's a great place for swimming and snorkelling. Picturesque and quiet, it's no surprise that it's popular with the locals.
Es Calò des Moro is one of those picture perfect calas that takes your breath away. 'One of the last paradises of Mallorca,' claims the foundation 'Amics d'Es Calò des Moro' which has been looking after it for the last fifteen years.
Found on the west side of Mallorca’s most southern tip, Es Caragol is wonderful if you enjoy sunbathing somewhere a little more remote than your usual tourist spot.
Also known as Platja de Sa Ràpita, an alternative to Es Trenc is the beautiful neighbouring beach at S’Arenal de sa Rapita in the southeast of Majorca. It is much quieter than Es Trenc, and is popular with families, surfers and windsurfers.
At Cassai Gran Café, architecture, atmosphere and menu works in concert to create a landmark dining experience, one that celebrates Mallorcan tradition with barefoot-elegant flair.
The nearby saltpans act as a magnet for migrant waders and wildfowl on their way from Africa to their breeding grounds in Europe each spring. Cap de Ses Salines, Mallorca's southernmost point, is another good spot for birdwatching.
The town itself makes a pleasant place to stroll, with an abundance of local Santanyi sandstone which turns golden in the sun. Just outside Ses Salines, on the road to Santanyi, is Botanicactus, one of Europe's largest botanical gardens, with bamboo and palm trees and, extraordinarily diverse in form, dozens of varieties of cactus.
You can also get the boat from nearby Colonia St Jordi to the protected Cabrera Islands off the south east coast.
