At Ocho Suites, we love discovering beaches that feel a little more secret, a little more local, the kind of places you stumble upon and instantly want to keep to yourself. Cala Comtesa is exactly that. Tucked between pine trees and low rocky cliffs, this beautiful sandy cove sits just a short ride from Palma, yet it feels worlds away from the city noise.


WHY CALA COMTESA IS ONE OF OUR FAVORITE HIDDEN SPOT

Cala Comtesa is the quieter, lesser-known sister to Playa Illetas, and that’s part of its charm. Locals come here to escape the crowds, lay out a towel on the soft 100-meter stretch of sand, and simply enjoy a slow, sun-soaked day by the sea. I love the calmness here — the way the water stays clear and gentle, the way the trees give pockets of shade, the way you can hear the soft hum of people chatting rather than the chaos of a busy beach.

There’s even a small chiringuito right by the water, perfect for a cold drink after a swim. Nothing fancy — just the kind of simple beach café that makes the day feel easy.


EASY TO REACH, HARD TO LEAVE

One of the best things about Cala Comtesa is how accessible it is. From Palma, just hop on bus number 4 and ride it to the very end; Passeig d’Illetes 57. From there, it’s only a short walk down toward the sea. When you reach the crossroads, turn right and the beach suddenly appears between the cliffs.

If you prefer a bit of adventure, you can even swim the 200 meters out to the small island Ile de Sa Caleta. It’s rocky and wild, only for confident swimmers, but a fun little challenge if the sea is calm.

Whether you come for sunbathing, swimming, snorkeling, or simply a quieter moment in nature, Cala Comtesa is a beautiful reminder that you don’t have to travel far to find a slice of paradise.


WE RECOMMEND

Skip the stress of parking and take the bus, it’s easy and saves time. Enjoy your morning swim and sunbathing at Cala Comtesa, and when hunger strikes, eat at the chiringito by the beach, or walk over to nearby Playa Illetas/Balneario for lunch. It’s just a few minutes away and the perfect way to end a beach day.

Before deciding to study abroad, it’s worth comparing ROI rather than just university names. Some mid-ranked universities offer better internships, industry exposure, and visa flexibility than top-ranked ones.

If you’re hunting for the best Shoyoroll gi, you’re basically choosing a gi that’s built like a tank but still feels smooth and comfortable when you move. Shoyoroll stands out for its crisp fit, strong reinforcements in high-stress areas, and that premium “boutique” finish—clean patches, sharp cuts, and details that make it look expensive (because it is). Best Shoyoroll Gi  The fabric usually balances durability with breathability, so you don’t feel like you’re wearing a heavy blanket during long sessions, and the collar holds up well against constant gripping. Whether you’re training daily or saving it for comps, a Shoyoroll gi is the kind of gear that lasts, looks fresh, and gives you that confident, high-level feel every time you step…

My dress fits okay, but I wanted it to be absolutely perfect with some extra detailing. I found Bridal And Wedding Dress Alterations Near Me to fix the fit, and for the intricate embellishments, I discovered Beading & Embellishments Services Near Me Houston, TX. It’s really important that the work is done precisely, as I don’t want to risk ruining the fabric. I’ll probably bring a few other dresses along for small adjustments. Having skilled professionals for both alterations and embellishments is a total game-changer

My grandmother is moving in with us, and we needed to make the bathroom accessible for her safety. We wanted to install grab bars in the shower and near the toilet, but we wanted them to look stylish, not institutional. I looked for handrail mounting services that specialize in bathroom safety modifications. It is crucial that these bars are anchored into the studs to support weight properly. The installation was quick, and the new rails match our bathroom fixtures perfectly. It gives us great peace of mind knowing she is safe.
