Sant Elm
Sant Elm is a small resort on the west coast of Mallorca, that faces the small island Es Pantaleu and the larger island Sa Dragonera.
The drive to Sant Elm is through twisting roads in a scenic landscape. On the way to Sant Elm the charming little village of Andratx is worth a stop.
The beach in general
The 130 metres long beach in Sant Elm has two names: Platja de Sant Elm or Es Geperut. A nice beach that stands out for its calm atmosphere and good view of the small island of Es Pantaleu.
The beach actually consists of two beaches, which are separated by the popular Universal Hotel Aquamarin. The largest beach has fine grained sand, many sun loungers and a playground. Obviously, it is the most crowded of the two beaches. The smaller beach has part sand and part gravel. There is a few sun loungers but this part of the beach is the quiet one.
The water is very clear at both beaches. Behind the larger beach you will find two parking areas. Parking in the closest is for a fee while parking is for free at the other one (200 metres from the beach).

Child-friendliness
The sea is fairly shallow and there is a playground behind the large beach. All in all a child-friendly beach.
Water sports
Pedal boats for hire. The good swimmers can snorkel by the small island Es Pantaleu.
Beach restaurants
There is a restaurant in a hotel next to the beach. Additionally, you will find several restaurants/cafés in the pedestrian street very close to the beach.
The resort Sant Elm
The former fishing village of Sant Elm has around 500 inhabitants who primarily make their living from tourism. Although the town has gone from fishing village to tourist town, it has lost none of its charm. It is still a relatively quiet town – and not least a cosy town.
This makes Sant Elm ideal for families and couples looking for a quiet holiday in beautiful surroundings. Rent a car and explore the mountainous western part of Mallorca and visit some of the beautiful mountain villages. The closest is Andratx, but even more charming are Valldemossa and Deià , which are a little further away.
In Sant Elm, we recommend the 4-star Universal Hotel Aquamarin, which is centrally located and has great views of the beaches and the Mediterranean. The hotel has many facilities, including bike hire.

The two beaches, or in fact one beach (Platja de Sant Elm) divided in two. The island to the west is Es Pantaleu. By moving the map further to the west you will discover the larger island, Sa Dragonera. To the south-east is the harbour town of Port d’Andratx, one of the most luxurious towns in Mallorca.
