Cala Vinyes is beach that is located about 2 kilometers south from the resort of Magalufin. The atmosphere at the beach is pleasant and relaxing because of the shelter provided by the palmtrees groving on the sand and the high cliffs surrounding the beach.
There are a few hotels build on the cliffs surrounding the beach. Hotel Royal Savoy has a cafeteria / bar right next to the beach which is open for the public. If you're not staying at these hotels, you can access Cala Vinyes with a rental car or with bus number 107 from Magaluf. The bus stop is close to the beach at top of the stairs next to the small supermarket. The cruise ship Brittania Jet comes to Cala Vinyes from the neighbouring resorts of Palma Nova and Magaluf.
