Cala Galdana is a stunning horseshoe bay about 800yds from end to end. By far the best beach on the island with safe shallow water. it also has shady picnic areas at the back. The beach has 3 beach bars and full lifeguard, toilets, showers and red cross facilities. Can get pretty crowded though.
The resort itself is very compact with shops, bars, restaurants along a main drag that is about a mile long from the sea inland along the river. It is spotlessly clean everywhere.
