Rocky beach in S\'Illot
Overview: S'Illot is on the east coat of Mallorca and combines the larger resort town of Sa Coma and the smaller village of Cala Moreya, not far from Cala Millor and Porto Cristo. Cala Moreya is separated from Sa Coma by a small fresh water lagoon and is within easy walking distance. Cala Moreya was originally a tiny fishing village and fishermen still pull in their boats each evening and haul them up a ramp at the end of the small beach. The village has retained its charm and visitors to the S'Illot area have the option of enjoying the peace and tranquillity of Cala Moreya, or the livelier aspects of its more upmarket neighbour. Both towns have excellent beaches, though Sa Coma beach is much larger, and there are a number of good restaurants (as well as fast food outlets), bars and shops to explore. S'Illot is popular with English families and couples seeking a quiet resort, with the perfect balance of relaxation and excitement on offer.
Activities
Castell d’Alaro: Mallorca’s most popular hiking trail is the climb from the
town of Alaro up to a ruined castle and hilltop chapel, which
offers panoramic views of the sea and plains as far as Palma. From
Alaro the walk takes about two hours to complete. The castle ruins
on the hilltop date from the 15th century and dominate the
landscape. At the summit there is a restaurant and bar to refresh
weary climbers. On Sundays the trail becomes rather busy.
