A Beach Born from a Spring
The name Sa Font de sa Cala refers to a freshwater spring near the beach, contributing to cooler, less salty sea water in the area. There’s even an underwater freshwater flow, making this cove refreshingly unique. Once a rocky spot with pebbles, the beach has been regenerated into a fine-sand haven, now popular among both tourists and local residents.
Natural Beauty with a Touch of Modernity
Flanked by low cliffs and pine-covered terraces, the beach offers scenic beauty with urban comforts. A small channel defines its right side, while hotels and villas stretch toward the neighbouring communities of Cala Provençal and es Carregador. The water here is calm, shallow, and perfect for families or casual swimmers.
Ideal for Anchoring & Well Connected
The underwater terrain—sand and rock at 5 metres depth—makes this a good spot for anchoring, though exposure to winds from the east can make things tricky. Club Nàutic Cala Ratjada, the nearest port, is just 2 nautical miles away. Accessibility is excellent by road, with parking and a bus stop just 10 metres from the beach. There’s even a tourist mini train that links the cove with Cala Ratjada, making Sa Font de sa Cala a lively and easily accessible coastal escape.
