A Coastal Threshold Between Sand and Stone
Tucked beneath the residential area of Son Verí, Caló de Sant Antoni marks the end of the sandy beaches stretching west from Llucmajor and the beginning of Mallorca’s steep, rocky south-west coast. From here, the sand won’t be seen again until sa Ràpita in Campos. Flanked by the Club Nàutic de s’Arenal and Calonet des Fornàs, this beach is a quiet haven with a natural sandy shore and limited tourist infrastructure, making it a favourite among locals.
A Tapestry of Hidden Coves & Coastal Charm
The coastline between Caló de Sant Antoni and Punta de s'Arenal is dotted with tiny inlets such as coves Verda, d'en Sarregà, Calenta, and es Rentador de sa Senyora. Inland, the Torrent de Son Verí (or de s'Algar) feeds into es Saulet, a cove named for the sound of waves fishermen believed signalled changing weather. These natural features combine to form a rich tapestry of coves, cliffs, and Mediterranean flora, perfect for explorers.
Strolling, Scenery & Sea Breezes
A modern promenade links this beach to scenic spots like the Mirador de la Roca des Turistes, offering a gentle coastal walk with panoramic views over the Bay of Palma. Though not geared for mass tourism, Caló de Sant Antoni offers a refreshing alternative—serene, scenic, and steeped in natural beauty.
