Discover Son Serra de Marina
Accommodation in Son Serra De Marina
Son Serra de Marina is defined by its wide beach, but the coast is more than just a backdrop for beach days: windsurfing and paddleboarding take place on the beach, and it is also where the walk along the Camí de la Mar begins. The unpaved path runs mostly through pine forest; a section of the GR 222 also runs between Betlem and the houses of Son Serra de Marina, while several horse-riding routes in the north of Mallorca cross the beach. When choosing a holiday rental, you can first decide whether you want your stay to focus on the water, the coastal landscape or trails on land.
Sandy beach, Posidonia and views across the bay
Son Serra de Marina beach is 450 metres long and more than 100 metres wide. It is a sandy beach with a few rocky outcrops. The sand is coarse, and the beach is often covered by a dense growth of Posidonia. At the right-hand end of the beach runs the Torrent de Na Borges, which separates Son Serra de Marina beach from Sa Canova beach. From the beach, you can see Cap des Pinar and Cap Ferrutx, which together enclose the Bay of Alcúdia. This stretch of coast brings distinctive landmarks right down to the beach, alongside expansive views across the bay.
Water sports and village life
Windsurfing and paddleboarding take place on the beach. Nudism is also practised there. Behind the beach lies the settlement of Son Serra de Marina, with a few bars and restaurants. If bars and restaurants are part of your idea of a holiday, you can also factor this settlement into your plans for your stay. The beach, water activities and local dining options offer different ways to spend your time, without requiring any particular daily routine.
Walks and other routes
The walk along the Camí de la Mar begins at Son Serra de Marina beach. It follows an unpaved forest path that runs mostly through pine forest; the route is no more than four kilometres long. The path surface and maximum length are therefore useful details to consider when planning this walk. As route conditions may change, check them before setting out.
A section of Stage 3 of the GR 222 runs between Betlem and the houses of Son Serra de Marina and is one of the sections currently open and signposted. Several horse-riding routes in the north of Mallorca also cross the beach. The activities offer quite different route options: a walk through pine forest, a section of the GR 222 or a horse-riding route that crosses the beach. Details of the starting point, section and route type can help you plan your outing.
Practical tips for finding accommodation
Parking is available on the streets of the Son Serra de Marina settlement and in a car park beside the beach. If you are arriving by car, check the current parking situation in advance. This allows you to take both of these parking options into account when planning your arrival, without associating them with a particular route.
When looking for a holiday rental in Son Serra de Marina, it may help to first decide what you want your holiday to focus on: the beach and water sports, the walk along the Camí de la Mar, or other trails and horse-riding routes. The settlement behind the beach, with its bars and restaurants, is also part of the local character.
