Ses Salines is a municipality in the southern region of Mallorca, which has the benefit of being quitter than other resorts on the island. This hidden gem contains some of the best beaches on the island and a rich history. The salt flats that can be found throughout Mallorca are a major feature in this area. The salt flats in Ses Salines are the oldest on the island and give this region its name, from the term “saline”.
Ses Salines is known for mainly the large park stretching out from the island’s southern tip that’s been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and an exclusive beach brimming with gorgeous celebrities and yacht-toting glitterati.
Both sun-bathing and partying here is largely for the crowd, so it’s no surprise that the wide crescent of perfectly manicured sand that makes up Las Salinas beach practically disappears beneath a blanket of barely-there bikinis during the summer.
Sweeping dunes and nearby woods can make for a quick escape for those in need of a little more isolation, while the areas exclusive bars and restaurants make for easily accessible (and wallet-busting) pregame spots before visitors head off to the louder club scene on other parts of the island.
Ses Salines, Spain, has only a few cultural attractions, but some are worth visiting like Botanicactus. These cacti and palm gardens conceal both an oasis and a desert.
With over 400 cacti from all over the world and an extensive Mediterranean biotope, Botanicactus which covers an area of 150,000 m² claims to be Europe's biggest botanical gardens.
