Colònia Sant Jordi
Colonia Sant Jordi has everything you need to enjoy LCW with us.
The port is the main hub of the town, and is located on the east side of the town. Here you can relax in a cafe and gaze out across the boats and beaches of Es Dolç and Es Carbo. There are restaurants, gift shops, banks, tourist information and your departure point for trips to the island of Cabrera.
Heading from the port to the western side of the town, you will pass the Olympic swimming pool at the BEST Centre and the ‘Salines’, which have been producing salt since Roman times, on your way to the golden sands of Es Estanys and Es Trenc.
There is a medical centre in the town, or for larger emergencies, the nearest hospitals are in Campos, 10 minutes away, Manacor, 30 minutes away, or Palma, 30 minutes away.
Beaches
The stunning beaches on this part of the island have made Colònia Sant Jordi the most famous destination in the Balearic Islands. Es Trenc, on the west side of the town is the most well known of all the beaches in Mallorca because of its miles of golden sand, crystal clear water and national parkland behind.
The beach of Es Trenc, the coastal area around Colònia Sant Jordi and the island of Cabrera, renowned for its marine tourism, form what has been called the ‘magical triangle’ of the Balearics, because of its beauty and tranquility.
Es Trenc and Es Estanys
Are the beaches on the west side of the town. Es Estanys is the area of beach closest to the town, and then Es Trenc stretches for 3000m of natural beauty. It is one of the few areas on the island where there are sand dunes. In 1984 Es Trenc was declared a "Special Interest Natural Area".
There are bars at either end of the beach and sunbeds and umbrellas are available, although in limited numbers. There is a beach cafe and facilities on Es Estanys.
Es Dolç and Es Carbó
Are the beaches on the east of the town. Es Dolç is the area of beach closer to the port with Es Carbó a little further round the headland. While Es Trenc is the most famous of the island's beaches, Es Carbó and Ses Roquetes are preferred by those in the know. A 20 minute walk from Es Dolç will bring you to 1300m of virgin, 'S' shaped beach. If you don’t fancy the walk, there are boats to hire to take you to the beaches. There are no beach cafes here, just sand and solitude.
