Camp de Mar is located in the Balearic Islands, southeast of Mallorca. This locality was born as an exclusive tourist complex. Located in the municipality of Andratx, it offers privacy, tranquility and warmth. This locality contains stupendous beaches, where to be able to spend a pleasant day accompanied by a good bath. Some of them have been distinguished with the Blue Flag by the European Union, for the quality of its waters and the excellence of its offers for tourism. The main one is the beach of Camp de Mar, characteristic for having a natural islet to which we can access through a beautiful wooden bridge. The Racó de Camp de Mar, close to the previous beach and also known as Ses Dones Beach, is a cove of stones and rocks where we can find two concrete walkways to enjoy its waters and an area that serves as a viewpoint.
S'Arracó is a small and intimate village, where the tranquility and hospitality that permeates its streets attract everyone who visits it. S'Arracó preserves the charm of the typical houses of the inland villages, low and traditional, with a small orchard or garden. This village also shows samples of the stately architecture, such as the various modernist style houses, built with the money that the emigrants of S'Arracó sent from France to their families, most of which are located on the main street, França street. Also noteworthy are the building of "ca ses Monges", the old school, now the house of culture, and the three traditional cafes, which are the meeting point for the people of the village. The main building of s'Arracó is the church of "Sant Crist", built in 1704 by Antonio Ferrandell Verí, considered the founder of the village. Inside, the baroque altarpiece dedicated to the "Santo Cristo" and the altarpiece of the "Mare de Déu de la Trapa", an image that comes from the disappeared monastery of the same name, stand out. Likewise, in s'Arracó, you can find some testimonies of the rural economy, such as the old possessions of "Son Guillem", "Son Joan", "Son Castell" and "Son Nadal", as well as the mills or the waterwheels that remind us of an agricultural past. As far as sports are concerned, the village has a modern sports facility, the sports field of "sa Vinya", equipped with artificial turf and prepared for the practice of sports such as soccer or rugby. But hiking is the best leisure option in s'Arracó. The mountain landscape offers the opportunity to make interesting excursions on foot and enjoy wonderful landscapes and unbeatable views. One of the most popular routes is the ascent to the monastery of "la Trapa". A small family hotel and a couple of restaurants, where you can taste succulent dishes of international cuisine, are also part of the charms of s'Arracó.
Puerto de Andratx is one of the best and most spectacular natural harbors of the islands, surrounded by beautiful coves of transparent waters such as "cala Llamp", "cala Moragues" and "cala d'Egos". This modern port town, with a population of about 3,300 inhabitants, has gone from being an old fishermen's refuge to being one of the most important and most visited tourist centers in Mallorca, thanks to its nautical activity, which favors a more exclusive residential tourism. The Port is a cosmopolitan and lively place, where many cultures mix and combine shopping, sun and nightlife. It also offers an infinity of activities related to the sea. However, it has one of the best equipped marinas in the Balearic Islands, the Club de Vela de Andratx, with about 500 moorings occupied by sport and pleasure boats. The maximum animation is concentrated in the promenade and the pier, where the building of "La Lonja" is located, testimony of the validity of the fishing activity and where you can buy the catch of fresh fish from the fishermen in the afternoons. Stores and restaurants with pleasant terraces overlooking the sea, fill the promenade leading to the lighthouse and the Sailing Club, passing the small stream of "es Saluet".
Sant Elm has gone from being a fishing village that lived on fishing and salting to being an important tourist center, with all the services of a first class destination, but far from the overcrowding of larger towns. The beach is protected by the islet of Es Pantaleu. Thanks to its presence even when winds blow from the southwest, west or northwest the waters of the beach are quite calm. Only with strong winds from the west or southwest the waters of this beach become rough. This beach and its surroundings are steeped in history. It was here that the armada of King James I of Aragon anchored in 1229 as the first step in the conquest of Mallorca. According to tradition, the first royal mass was celebrated on the Pantaleu islet. There they had the help of Alí del Pantaleu, a Muslim who was against the Vali of Mallorca and who provided valuable information to the Christians about the situation of Mallorca and the location of the defending army. With his information they decided to make a night landing on the beach of Santa Ponsa, where the conquest really began. This historical heritage is reflected in the construction of the castle of Sant Elm, several defense towers, and the nearby monastery of La Trapa.
Sa Coma is a population center belonging to the municipality of Andratx.
