Mallorca's south east coast is indented with many little calas (coves), typically with steep, pine crowned cliffs and often with delightful white sand beaches. Cala Santanyí is one such place and a small but busy resort has grown up around it. Mass tourism has not intruded here, and most of the development is low rise and non-intrusive.

The Pinos Playa is very popular with famillies, and offers 104 hotel rooms, 10 of which are singles. The complex is laid out on various levels in extensive mature gardens. The Pinos Playa Hotel is open from May to October.

Realistically, you'll need a car here, for convenience and for touring, so check out your options for car hire in Mallorca at very competitive rates.
