Welcome to Sa Coma Tourist Attractions
Sa Coma and its neighbour S'Illot are small tourist resorts that lie in the heart of the popular east coast of Majorca / Mallorca. Situated almost in the middle between the larger tourist resorts of Cala Millor and Porto Cristo. S’Illot can be reached on foot, while a tourist tram connects to Cala Millor and its attractions.
There is plenty to do in Sa Coma and its surrounding area. You can around on the beach, and this seems to be one of the main reason most families choose to vacate here. The beaches have excellent facilities including a host of water sports (equipment and pedalo boats are for hire along the promenade). Sa Coma's Beach is an exceptionally sandy beach and has the usual selection of beach amenities. Just behind the beach there is a lovely promenade thats runs the full length of the resort towards S'Illot and a smaller sheltered beach of Cala Moreya, sometimes written as Cala Moraia.
As with all of the Balearic Islands, Mallorca / Majorca are excellent for all kinds of watersports. Tourists flock here throughout the year and try there hand at the popular sports such as diving, of there are many centres that can teach you and get your certificate, from beginner to advanced! Fishing, is another favourite, again you will find many companies or private charters around the ports in the main tourist resorts. These companies will take you out for the day for all sorts of fishing whether it be Big Game fishing or just normal they can provide assistance and generally these companies even put on a little picnic for you! Then there is sailing, windsurfing, skin divers and the usual tourist watersports; ringo's, para sailing, banana boats, water skiing and jet skiing!
Sa Coma also boasts several 18-hole golf courses, tennis and squash courts, horse-riding, mini-golf, bowling, go-carting, and bicycling facilities.
If you have Children there is also plenty of things for them to do, they may especially enjoy the Golf Paradis 54-hole mini golf course which is set among fountains, waterfalls and palm trees, and the Cala Millor safari park, which is another big plus for the children as the resort is within close proximity to the large safari-park, here you will find apes, gazelles, elephants and ostriches, among just some of the animals that roam in a simulated natural environment and can be viewed from a safari bus.
For the more energetic a climb up to the medieval watchtower on the headland which is located at Punta de n’Amer, is a well worth while 45-minute walk as it has amazing views from the top, at the top you will find a nice little café for refreshments.
There is also an array of sight-seeing boat trips and excursions on offer. Plus many other attractions around the island like the Caves of Ham and Drac, with stalactites, stalagmites, an underground lake.
Sa Coma only started developing during the mid 1980's and is now a modern tourist purpose built resort designed to meet the every increasing demand for tourist accommodation! Sa Coma itself is largely frequented by British family groups. The resort now has a good selection of shops restaurants and bars, many of which are owned by British, or at least targeted towards the British holiday maker - which tend to be in the main area within the resort.
The small resort of S'Illot is a complete contrast to Sa Coma, where Sa Coma is modern and purpose built for tourism, S'Illot was originally a traditional fishing village that has over the years has adapted and changed a little to accomodate for holiday makers and is now a popular, although small holiday resort. The two resorts are seperated by a small freshwater lagoon, which you can cross with a footbridge or there is also a slightly larger bridge used for crossing over with cars. Sa Coma being the more modern resort of the two resorts, it does have a better selection of 3 and 4 star hotels, S'Illot tends to have a slightly larger number of self catering apartments.
Public transport around all of the east coast is not good, so you may wish to consider car hire if you want to see more of the island and go exploring for the day, the island is so magnificent with beauty that it will take your breath away! The little towns and villages are all easily accessible with decent roads throughout the island. Or alternatively you can easily pop over to Majorca's neighbour islands Ibiza and Menorca on one of the regular ferries, this can be another great day out and you get to see 2 islands on 1 holiday! A word of warning though if you have hired a car then check with the company before you go across to another island that you are insured as a lot of insurance will become void as soon as you cross the ferry!
If staying in Sa Coma, I am sure you will have a fabulous holiday and find plenty or as little as you want to do!
