Begin your family adventure at Playground Son Servera, letting your children burn off energy as you relax on nearby benches. Don't miss the renowned Cap d'es Pinar viewpoint, offering breathtaking panoramic vistas of the coastline. After drinking in the views, stroll along the nearby Platja de sa Marjal beach and bask in the warm sand.
No family trip to Cala Bona is complete without exploring the lively town of Son Servera. Visit its unfinished Neo-Gothic New Church and soak in the lively atmosphere with a 15-20 minute bike ride from Cala Bona. Time your visit to coincide with the weekly Friday street market, where fruits, vegetables, clothes and souvenirs are aplenty.
Finally, join in the celebrations of Nostra Senyora del Carme, Cala Bona's patron saint of sailors, on July 16th. Experience a unique sea procession and let your family dive into the local culture and festivities. From sandy beaches to cultural experiences, Cala Bona truly offers something for every family.
When to visit
The beauty of Cala Bona guarantees families enchanting experiences year-round. Aim for June to August to indulge in hot, sunny weather and water temperatures above 23°C, perfect for beach outings and family water adventures. However, be prepared for a more significant influx of visitors during this period.
For families keen to avoid the bustling peak season, consider visiting between April-May and September-October, enjoying pleasant weather and a more relaxed atmosphere. As always, we recommend travelling during school holidays to avoid any potential issues or fines associated with term-time holidays.
