Cala San Vicente
One of the smallest resorts on the island, Cala San Vicente is still essentially a working fishing village. Nestled on the dramatic northwest coast of the island, the resort is surrounded by breathtaking scenery. Cala San Vicente's three beaches all share beautifully clear waters and exceptional views towards the Formentor peninsular.
Cala Barques is the largest and prettiest of the three beaches and offers a plentiful selection of sun beds and umbrellas. Continuing along the coastal path, visitors will find the tiny secluded beach of Cala Clara, and even further along, Cala Molins. The latter is by far the most popular beach largely due to its fine white sands. Cala San Vicente's old town features traditional houses and an attractive promenade.
Exploration of the surrounding area includes hiking in the forested hills or ambling along the picturesque coastal path and taking in the rugged scenery. Cala San Vicente is suited to couples and older families seeking a peaceful relaxed holiday. The resort offers a reasonable selection of shops, bars and restaurants geared towards low-key family entertainment. Those seeking a little more excitement should head to the nearby towns of Puerto Polensa or Alcudia. Three miles south of the resort is the attractive old Roman town of Pollensa, which dates back to the 18th-century and is well worth a visit. Cala San Vicente is situated 23 miles from the island's capital and airport.
