Sant Llorenç des Cardassar suits larger groups wanting a Mallorca villa with a pool, near the sandy bay of Cala Millor. Beach days centre on Cala Millor, which is busy in summer and left unmonitored in winter.
Sant Llorenç des Cardassar is a Mallorca municipality that reaches the sea at Cala Millor, a bay it shares with neighbouring Son Servera. The beach there is white sand, largely free of rocks, about 1.8 kilometres long, with high occupancy and lifeguard towers in season, and a promenade runs along it. The resort is aimed at families with children rather than the party crowd. Homes are spread around the town, and most have a private pool, a garden and a fireplace. Many sleep eight or more, so this suits groups better than couples.
A sandy bay about 1.8 km long, split between Sant Llorenç des Cardassar and Son Servera, with a promenade along the beach.
The Drach caves lie about half an hour's drive from Cala Millor, the coastal resort of this municipality.
A coastal town south of Cala Millor, on the TIB 412 bus route that also serves Manacor and Palma.
A resort lying to the north of Cala Millor, in the opposite direction from Porto Cristo.
Palma airport is about 46 minutes from Sant Llorenç des Cardassar by car, a drive of about 56 km. TIB bus 412 links Cala Millor with Manacor and Palma, but homes are spread out, so hire a car for the stay.
Partly. The municipality reaches the coast at Cala Millor, a bay it shares with Son Servera, so the sand is there rather than in the town itself. Allow for the drive between a home and the beach.
At Cala Millor it is sand, white and largely free of rocks, about 1.75 km long and 35 m wide. It has sunbed and watercraft hire, showers and toilets. It is cleaned daily and watched from lifeguard towers in season; in winter it is unmonitored and often gets seaweed.
No. It is oriented to families with children rather than the big party. The terrain is flat, a promenade runs along the beach, and many areas are closed to motor traffic, which makes hiring a bicycle easy.
For quiet days, yes, but the beach is a summer affair: Cala Millor is declared closed in winter, with no lifeguards or cleaning, and seaweed can pile up. Many homes here have a fireplace for cooler evenings.
