Calvia’s beaches will remain open for longer this year, with enhanced services and facilities, the Calvia Town Council has announced. From Sunday, the three beaches in Peguera and the three in Palmanova—including Son Maties—will open with sunbeds, parasols, kiosks, and cleaning services fully operational, marking a continuation of the council’s commitment to keeping the coastline accessible from 15 March to 30 November.
The reopening follows the traditional winter recovery period, allowing for the natural regeneration of the posidonia seagrass and the coastal environment. Together, the six beaches provide 3.5 kilometres of coastline for residents and visitors, with Palmanova’s beaches—Es Carregador, Na Nadala, and Son Maties—covering 1,505 metres and Peguera’s—Palmira, Torà, and La Romana—stretching 2,000 metres. All have received consecutive Blue Flag and Quality Q awards, highlighting Calvià’s reputation for high-quality beach management.
Accessibility improvements have also been a focus this term, with beachgoers now able to book sunbeds and parasols via a mobile app. At the same time, the areas designated for bathers have been expanded, ensuring more space for beachgoers. Na Nadala remains a landmark in coastal management, having become the first beach in the Balearic Islands to receive official certification in 2005.
Not all beaches are opening immediately. Services at Magalluf and Santa Ponsa remain suspended while the company responsible for those beaches resolves outstanding issues. The council has formally terminated the contract and imposed a precautionary suspension, citing strict adherence to legal procedures as the reason for the delay.
The Mayor, Juan Antonio Amengual, emphasised that the council “will ensure both the cleanliness and safety of the beaches.” He added: “Beaches are not only an essential part of tourism; they are also a green space and a meeting place for residents. For this reason, they will be ready both for the start of the season, which this year begins in early April, and for our local community. An open beach is a living beach,” Amengual stressed.
