Platja de Son Bunyola is a secluded stone beach situated in the municipality of Banyalbufar, Mallorca, in the autonomous community of the Balearic Islands, Spain. The beach is approximately 90 meters long and 20 meters wide. It is located about 300 meters from Port d'es Canonge in Bunyola and can only be accessed by walking through pine forests, following a marked path from Port des Canonge.
This beach is known for its extraordinary natural beauty, with stunning views, and is characterized by its vegetation. The eastern side of the beach is more stony, making it suitable for sunbathing, while the western side is more rocky. It is particularly popular among swimmers and snorkelers, who enjoy exploring the underwater world around the rocks. Despite this, it is usually not crowded, even during the peak season, due to its isolated location.
The beach does not offer any amenities such as toilets, showers, garbage bins, or beach cleaning. There are no rental services for sunbeds or umbrellas and no restaurants or bars nearby. The beach does not provide recreational activities such as boat rentals, water sports, or children's entertainment. However, it is recommended for scuba diving. Fishing is also possible on the beach, but it is important to respect the bathing schedule and the protected area status of the beach.
There is no signage indicating the way to the beach, and public transportation to the beach is not available. Therefore, visitors can either walk or take a boat to reach the beach. Parking is available at Port des Canonge for those who wish to visit the beach.
Overall, Platja de Son Bunyola is a perfect spot for small groups of family or friends looking for a quiet beach day, or for an excursion. However, due to its rocky nature and lack of amenities, it may not be ideal for those looking to simply sunbathe and swim. Visitors should be prepared for a walk and wear good shoes to reach the beach.
