3-star hotels in Can Pastilla

Cala Estancia is located 6.83 miles away from east of Palma, between Calo de Son Caios and Club Maritimo Sant Antoni of the beach. This beach is fully integrated in the village with the same name, and the limits are mixed to the nearby residential and touristic area of Can Pastilla, and it is imperceptible for the visitor to see where both areas begin or finish. Next to this sandy area there are located many mass tourism hotels, which are the characteristic of this part of the coast. This large beach has fine grained white sand. On both sides there are breakwaters which direct the arrival of the sea toward the coast and this is why Cala Estancia becomes a sort of natural swimming basin, with no more than 9.84 feet of depth and a very gentle slope. The accessibility by car is easy following the signs. There is also a bus stop nearby. The proximity to s`Arenal, the biggest beach of Majorca, explains the massive influx of tourists and the difficulty to find a place to park the car during the summer season.
