Living here

Cala Anguila and Cala Mendia are two neighbouring sandy coves on Mallorca’s east coast, about 5 km by road south of Porto Cristo in the municipality of Manacor. Houses, apartments and hotels sit above them, and 676 people were registered as living here in 2025. Living here means walking to the sand and driving about 10 minutes to Porto Cristo for the health centre, schools and most errands.

The coves lie side by side at the head of a wide bay, about 300 metres apart, with Cala Anguila to the north and Cala Mendia (also spelt Cala Mandia) to the south. A rough coastal path of about 250 metres crosses the rocky headland between them. Cala Anguila is a long arm of fine white sand between low, pine-covered cliffs, sheltered from the wind, with shallow water and the remains of an old sandstone quarry. Cala Mendia is a small beach of very fine sand, usually calm unless an easterly wind blows, with hotels, apartments and houses around it. In high season both have a lifeguard, showers and toilets.

Manacor council’s tourism website calls the development Porto Cristo Novo, and some guides file Cala Anguila under Cala Romàntica, the next cove south, so listings may use any of these names. The national statistics office counts Cala Anguila and Cala Mendia as one settlement, with 676 registered residents in 2025. Their festes, shared with Cala Magrana and s’Estany d’en Mas, fall in the last week of August. For the health centre, schools, post office and most shopping, residents drive about 10 minutes north to Porto Cristo, past the Coves del Drac. Manacor, with the area’s public hospital and trains to Palma, is about 20 minutes inland.

Summer is busy. Visitors fill both beaches, and residents say parking around Cala Mendia is overwhelmed from summer into October. In 2026 a beach club was being built on the Cala Mendia seafront, licensed for 61 indoor and 223 outdoor places, with terraces and pools. Residents have taken the developer and Manacor council to court, arguing that the licence breaks the planning rules, while the council says it was properly granted. They expect the case to take years and the club to open in the meantime, and they fear more noise and traffic.

Who buys here

The coves are best for couples, retirees and second-home owners who want the sand on their doorstep and don’t mind driving for everything else. With 676 registered residents in 2025, the year-round community is small, though residents have organised to challenge the beach club in court. Families with school-age children face a daily drive to Porto Cristo, which has two state primary schools and a secondary school, or to Manacor for the Rafa Nadal International School (ages 10 to 18).

Property

The coves are surrounded by a modern holiday and residential development (urbanització), with no historic village centre. Homes range from detached houses and holiday chalets to apartments, and at Cala Mendia hotels, apartments and houses back onto the sand. Building continues. In 2013 the island council’s planning commission approved a revised plan for 75 detached houses beside the Cala Mendia and s’Estany d’en Mas beaches, and in October 2026 the press reported a hotel extension, work on the Punta Reina tourist complex and semi-detached villas on sale above the s’Estany d’en Mas torrent.

Pros and cons

For

  • Two sandy coves with clear water, a short walk apart
  • Porto Cristo’s health centre, schools and shops 10 minutes away
  • Manacor hospital and trains to Palma about 20 minutes away
  • Summer bus to Porto Cristo, passing the Coves del Drac

Against

  • Palma is over an hour away by car

  • Plenty of building work nearby in 2026

Questions buyers ask

Which town hall covers Cala Anguila and Cala Mendia?

Manacor. The coves are about 5 km by road south of Porto Cristo, and the national statistics office counts them as one settlement, Cala Anguila-Cala Mendia. Porto Cristo is the nearest town for daily services, and the town hall is in Manacor city, about 20 minutes away.

Do buses run here all year?

No, only in summer. Bus 427 loops from Porto Cristo past the Coves del Drac to Cala Anguila and Cala Mendia from late March to the end of October. From Porto Cristo, the 401 runs all year to Manacor and Palma. In winter no bus serves the coves, so you need a car.

What is happening with the beach club at Cala Mendia?

In October 2026 residents were in court against the developer and Manacor council over the licence for a beach club being built on the Cala Mendia seafront, with 61 indoor and 223 outdoor places. The council says the licence is valid. Residents expect the case to take years, so check the latest position if you are looking near the beach.

Where are the nearest doctor and hospital?

Porto Cristo’s public health centre, about 10 minutes away, opens on weekdays, and its urgent-care service (PAC) covers nights and weekends. The public hospital for the area is in Manacor, about 20 minutes by car.
