The coast of Costa de la Calma is suitable for swimming from the rocks, relaxing by the sea and watching sunsets – rather than spending the day on a wide sandy beach. For travellers seeking this type of coastal experience, the difference from the classic sandy beach setting is clear.

Nature
Costa de la Calma is a coastal settlement in the municipality of Calvià, located between Santa Ponça and Peguera in the southwest of Mallorca.
Cala Blanca is a small cove in an open, rocky setting with clear water and noticeable swell.
The townscape is predominantly characterised by low-rise residential development: there are villas, smaller accommodation establishments, holiday homes and apartments rather than large complexes.
Playa Santa Ponsa, Playa Calo De Ses Llisses and the beach of Palmanova are located in the immediate vicinity of Costa de la Calma. The surrounding area also includes Platja de Son Maties, the Fundació Pilar i Joan Miró a Mallorca, the Mirador de Ricardo Roca, Son Puig and Bell Agre.
The local coastline is rocky and has low-rise development, with small coves, rocky or concrete terraces, and only small pebble or sandy areas instead of a continuous sandy coast.
In the wider surrounding area, the nearby Puig de Sa Morisca is described as a cultural and historical context; an archaeological settlement associated with the Talaiotic culture is reported there.
Santa Ponsa is described as a nearby point of reference for supplies and activities, while Palma is described as accessible via the local motorway exit or by public transport.
