Beaches
Cala Llenya
Cala Llenya beach is a golden sand beach with a natural feel. There are no hotels or apartments next to the beach, so from the beach, you feel far away from tourism, except for the other people on the beach, some sunbeds and a little beach bar.
While the beach is lovely here, it might not be ideal for older people or families with small children as it is hard to reach. From most of the tourist accommodations in this area, you need to take several stairs down to get to the beach and, of course, up again to get back to where you are staying, as the actual resort is much higher up than the beach.
