Es Llombards is one of the most peaceful villages in the locality, where time rhythmically passes in it’s two coffee bars. The village people live their lives independently of the tourist season, indicating their aim for a wise and rhythmically healthy lifestyle. Also possessing four beaches with crystal clear water Cala Llombards is the only one with services with various bars and a small food shop. Also recommended, is the craftsmanship used in the production of cheese at the local factory.
Es Llombards is a small village of around 500 people. The hamlet probably grew up in the 17th century around the communal pools which King Jaume II of Mallorca had built in order to ensure there was a water supply to the area. In times gone by the economy was based around agriculture, with vine cultivation being important. Now foreigners own houses in the village and the surrounding area, either as permanent dwellings or second homes.
Cala Llombards, surrounded by a development of the same name, is a very quiet area with many families who holiday here in summer. The development sprang up in 1969 and most of the houses are second homes. It also has a hotel with a capacity of 60 and three restaurants. All these facilities are at some distance from the beach, where there is a beach bar, sunbeds and beach umbrellas.
Although this development has taken its name of Cala Llombards, it is really situated within the estate - possessió, in Catalan - of Son Amer, which also lends its name to the stream at the mouth of which is a small beach. Cala Llombards can be reached from the road linking Santanyí with es Llombards, though there is no bus, the nearest stop being Cala Santanyí. The Palma-Cala Santanyi bus line leaves from Plaza de España in Palma.
Cala Llombards is the starting point for many excellent outings to the surrounding villages, and many an interesting walk can be found. From the beach, for example, there is a path on the right that runs along the coast to the excellent mirador above es Pontas - a well known whim of geological architecture.
