Guide to beaches, viewpoints and routes from the hotel
Why Cala Sant Vicenç is your ideal base in the north of Mallorca
On the coast of Pollença, Cala Sant Vicenç distils the Mediterranean into four coves of transparent water and a coastline etched by cliffs. Sleeping here means waking up with the sea within easy reach and fitting, in one single day, a morning swim, a scenic walk and a dinner with views. El Vicenç de la Mar sits at the heart of this enclave, opposite Cala Molins, with design-led services, signature gastronomy and spaces conceived to enjoy the destination at a calm pace.
The four beaches of Cala Sant Vicenç
Cala Sant Vicenç is made up of Cala Barques, Cala Clara, Cala Molins and Cala Carbó. Each offers a different experience and together they form a compact coastal guide to Mallorca.
Cala Molins: fine sand, turquoise water and cove life
Cala Molins is the widest and most accessible. From the hotel it is an easy stroll and, beyond its clear water, it provides frontal views of Cavall Bernat, the limestone ridge that defines the local skyline. The hotel Rooftop looks straight onto Cala Molins and Cavall Bernat, with a bar, pool and loungers so you can alternate swims and rest.
Cala Barques and Cala Clara: maritime essence
Next to the coastal village, Cala Barques and Cala Clara keep a traditional spirit. They are perfect for a gentle morning or for breezy days, and they complete the palette of colours that the bay displays along the day.
Cala Carbó: the most secluded
This is the wildest of the set, with an intimate feel and rocky seabeds. If you enjoy snorkelling, you will find clean waters and quiet corners here, especially early in the morning.
Cavall Bernat, the landscape icon
Cavall Bernat carves the silhouette of Cala Sant Vicenç. Its ridges and walls explain why the enclave is so photogenic, which you can appreciate from the hotel Rooftop with direct views of the mountain and Cala Molins.
Viewpoints and routes: from the shoreline to the Tramuntana
From Cala Sant Vicenç you can access paths with different levels of difficulty. There are gentle walks between coves and more panoramic routes that connect with the Serra de Tramuntana. The area also opens up routes towards Cap de Formentor, one of the most celebrated itineraries in the north of Mallorca for cyclists and lovers of coastal scenery.
Ideas for walking
- Coastal itineraries between Cala Barques, Cala Clara, Cala Molins and Cala Carbó, so you can play with different lights and colours at every hour.
- Panoramic connections towards Tramuntana settings and sea views that reward early starts, with the option to return to the hotel for lunch.
Signature gastronomy: from a seafront lunch to an evening à la carte
El Vicenç de la Mar offers two culinary concepts signed by Santi Taura:
- U Mayol, a seafaring bistro on the ground floor, with a Mediterranean proposal at lunchtime and service on selected evenings. It is the perfect place to celebrate the sea with rice dishes, fish and plates to share.
- U Vicenç, an à la carte restaurant on the fourth floor, designed for dinners where local and seasonal produce is treated with a contemporary approach.
Between the two, the Rooftop rounds off the day with snacks, signature cocktails and a relaxed atmosphere, along with a pool and solarium to stretch the afternoon under the northern Mallorca sky.
Rooftop with pool: a balcony over Cala Molins
The hotel’s rooftop features 380 m², a 75 m² pool, a solarium with loungers and designer parasols, a bar and cocktail service, and, most importantly, direct views of Cala Molins and Cavall Bernat. It is the spot to watch the blue shift in tone throughout the day before dinner at U Vicenç.
Wellness and spa: a Mediterranean routine of calm
The hotel’s Wellness Studio is one of the most complete in the north of Mallorca. It includes an 18-metre heated pool, a relaxation area, sauna, experience showers, an ice fountain, a steam bath, a 24-hour gym and treatments with Natura Bissé. It is the sure bet after a walk or a day by the sea to reset body and mind.
Premium cycling: routes, security and specialist service
If you move around by bike, you will find a Cycling Centre with space for 30 bicycles, a security system, wash area, workshop, lockers, and the support of Medfeel® Premium Cycling for high-end bike hire and tailored routes. From the hotel you can start reference rides towards Cap de Formentor and classic Tramuntana climbs.
Cinema room and spaces for events
To vary your plans, the hotel includes a cinema room with 24 seats, daily sessions and the option of private hire. There is also an events room equipped for meetings and celebrations, as well as modular spaces that adapt to rooftop cocktails or conferences for up to 60 people.
Services that add comfort
The list of services includes 24-hour room service, concierge, parking for guests, luggage storage, high-speed Wi-Fi, a pillow menu, laundry service, a smoke-free hotel policy, kayak and SUP hire and bike storage. Everything is located at Carrer Cala Molins, 6, Cala Sant Vicenç, in the north of Mallorca.
