Font de Sa Cala: Where It Is, What It's Like, and How to Get There
Font de Sa Cala is a semi-urban beach located in a residential area, just 2.5 km from Capdepera and 3 km from Cala Ratjada. It belongs to the Llevant region and is situated in one of the most charming municipalities on the Mallorcan coast.
At 100 meters long and 60 meters wide, you could say it’s not a large beach; rather, it’s just right—spacious enough so you don’t feel like you’re on top of your neighbor. Its sand is fine and light, its waters calm, and its surroundings, protected by a dense pine forest on the left and several green areas, offer natural shade—a great ally during the hottest hours.
A secret about Sa Font de Sa Cala? It has two freshwater springs, one on land and one underwater, which make the sea here slightly colder and less salty than the rest of the coast. That’s precisely where its name comes from.
How to Get There
You can get there by car via the MA-4043 road or on the charming mini-train that regularly connects Font de Sa Cala with the beaches of Son Moll and Cala Agulla, as well as with the center of Cala Ratjada. Parking here? One less problem.
Services and Amenities
Font de Sa Cala is not a wild beach, nor does it pretend to be. It has everything you need to spend the day: showers, restrooms, sunbed and umbrella rentals, and even a lifeguard station.
But what truly sets it apart is its water sports offering. It has a wide variety of water sports—kayaking, paddle surfing, windsurfing, and jet skis—and a prestigious diving club that attracts divers from all over Europe. If you already have diving experience, you have to come see what’s beneath its waters, and if not, it’s the ideal place to get started!
Other Coves and Beaches Nearby
One of the great advantages of Font de Sa Cala is the excellent company it keeps, as the municipality of Capdepera boasts more than 30 kilometers of coastline with options for all tastes. The closest is Cala de N’Aladern, which you can reach in about 15 minutes on foot. If you’re looking for stunning natural settings, go discover the dunes and extremely white sand of Cala Agulla or the wild landscape of Cala Mesquida. Slightly more urban are the beaches of Son Moll and Cala Gat.
Bars and Restaurants: Few, but Good
If you want to try the best dishes in Mallorca, Sa Font de Sa Cala is also a good place. It doesn’t have the dining options of a major tourist hub, but sometimes less is synonymous with twice as good, right?
At the Font de Sa Cala Beach Bar, located right on the sand, you can enjoy fresh products like paellas, calamari, and catch of the day. If you’re into Italian cuisine, La Piazza offers pasta, pizzas, and also burgers or croquettes; while SuKarne lets you cook your own meat on a hot stone at the table or serves you an exquisite turbot.
What to Visit Around?
If you’re already at Sa Font de Sa Cala, make the most of the trip because you have around you one of the richest areas for monuments and landscapes on the island. Just 2.5 km away awaits the Castle of Capdepera, a 14th-century construction from where you’ll have the best views of the Menorca channel.
Don’t leave without visiting the Capdepera Lighthouse, located at the easternmost point of the island; an ideal spot to enjoy one of the best sunsets in Mallorca. To complete the afternoon, just a step away are the Casa March Gardens, where you can stroll among an impressive collection of contemporary sculptures surrounded by typical Mediterranean vegetation.
If you’re looking for something more active, the walking route to the Castle of Punta n’Amer is another must-see. Plus, if you’re a sports lover, you can do this hike or take advantage of being very close to some of the best golf courses in Mallorca, such as Capdepera or Son Servera.
And if you’re into adventure, choose one of the best caves in Mallorca and put on your helmet to go underground. We recommend the Drach Caves where, in addition to stalagmites and a large lake, you’ll also be able to enjoy an underground concert.
