Where Beaches and Nature Meet
A Protected Coastal Paradise
Just a short drive from Santanyí’s town centre, the Parc Natural de Mondragó is one of Mallorca’s most beautiful protected areas. Covering more than 700 hectares of coastline, wetlands, and farmland, the park is celebrated for its pristine beaches, crystal-clear waters, and rich biodiversity. It’s a favourite destination for hikers, swimmers, birdwatchers, and anyone looking to escape into nature.
Trails Through Diverse Landscapes
The park offers a network of well-marked walking trails ranging from short strolls to longer loops. These paths wind through pine forests, dune systems, and open fields, offering viewpoints over turquoise coves and rugged cliffs. Along the way, interpretive panels explain the area’s ecology and cultural history, from traditional farming to coastal watchtowers.
Beaches Worth the Journey
Two of the park’s crown jewels are Cala Mondragó and S’Amarador, both boasting fine white sand and shallow, calm waters ideal for swimming. S’Amarador has been named among Europe’s top beaches, while Cala Mondragó offers shaded picnic areas and a relaxed, family-friendly atmosphere. Both beaches are connected by an easy coastal path.
Wildlife and Conservation
Parc Natural de Mondragó is home to more than 70 species of birds, including ospreys, herons, and the rare Audouin’s gull. Its wetlands serve as important stopovers for migratory birds, and conservation efforts ensure the protection of fragile habitats. Whether you’re there for a quick swim, a picnic, or a day of hiking, the park offers a unique blend of leisure and environmental importance.
