How to get to Cala Llombards
If you are leaving from the capital, Palma, take the Ma-19 motorway towards Campos/Santanyí.
After the first 20 kilometres of road, leave Llucmajor on the left-hand side and continue along the same Ma-19. After about 10 kilometres, you will reach the village of Campos and the signs to Santanyí.
Once in Santanyí, and after 11 kilometres on this road, take the first exit at the roundabout that will take you to the Ronda de Cas Calonge.
Go straight over the first two roundabouts and at the third roundabout, taking the first exit onto the Ma-6100.
A little more than a kilometre further on we will find another roundabout where we take the second exit. Half a kilometre later, you will come to a fork in the road where you turn left towards Cala Llombards. A little more than 2 kilometres later, you will come to the car park next to the beach.
- By public transport: Mallorca has an intercity bus line that connects Palma with many of its coves. To reach Cala Llombards by bus, you can only do so in the summer months on the TIB bus line 505 from Santanyí, after taking the 501 from Palma or the 495 from Manacor.
- By boat: It is possible to reach Cala Llombards by boat, although it is advisable to anchor in the neighbouring Cala Santanyí. Cala Llombards has a depth of only 3 metres inside the cove and is usually bathed by winds from the south and southwest.
The mouth of the beach is 6 metres inland and it is more sheltered from the winds. If you feel like getting away from the crowds, renting a boat to visit Cala Llombards is a great idea.
