The municipality launches a new and attractive snorkeling guide featuring a total of 12 underwater routes along the Santanyí coastline, suitable for all audiences.
Diving into the waters of Santanyí is like discovering an underwater universe that captivates from the very first immersion. The coastline of this southeastern Mallorcan municipality shines not only for its paradisiacal coves but also for its exceptional marine biodiversity.
Now, with a newly published snorkeling guide by the Ajuntament de Santanyí, residents and visitors have a new way to enjoy the sea at their fingertips: exploring 12 surface diving routes designed for all levels.
An Underwater World to Discover
These itineraries cover some of the most spectacular coves in southeastern Mallorca, such as Cala Esmeralda, Cala Gran, Cala d’Or, and Cala Santanyí. From the turquoise waters of Cala Mondragó to the untouched tranquility of Es Caragol, each route offers a chance to discover unique seascapes and rich biodiversity.
During the dives, one may spot white seabream, saddled bream, gilthead seabream, ancient posidonia meadows, or curious nudibranchs, as well as explore small caves, rock formations, or white sandy bottoms reflecting the Mediterranean light. An irresistible invitation to dive —literally— into the natural beauty of Santanyí.
A Practical and Accessible Guide to Snorkeling in Santanyí
The guide, available in print and online in Spanish, English, and German, provides detailed information on points of interest and safety tips, such as the importance of carrying a signal buoy in areas with boat traffic.
With easy routes adapted to different levels of experience, the itineraries —highly visual and easy to follow— allow for an active and respectful way to enjoy the sea. They offer valuable and interesting information about the marine life that inhabits this paradisiacal part of Mallorca’s coastline.
Nature and Sustainability
The initiative reinforces the municipality’s commitment to active, sustainable, and high-quality tourism, and adds to the existing hiking and cycling routes. Santanyí thus offers another reason to visit year-round — this time, with a snorkel and goggles, and with the turquoise blue of the Mediterranean as a backdrop.
