Pharmacy (Farmàcia) — Badia Gran / S’Arenal

approx. 1–8 km

There is a pharmacy in Badia Gran; S’Arenal has more choice and longer hours. The night rota ("farmacia de guardia") rotates — the notice on any pharmacy door names the one on duty.

Health Out of hours

Medical care — Centre de Salut Llucmajor

approx. 12 km

Public health centre. Bring your EHIC card. In a real emergency always call 112 — do not drive yourself.

Petrol station & cash machine

approx. 3–8 km

The nearest petrol stations are on the road towards S’Arenal and Llucmajor, most with a cash machine. There is none in Badia Gran itself — fill up before the run back to the airport.

Fuel Cash

Palma Airport (PMI)

approx. 20 km · 25–30 min

Easy to reach on the Ma-19. Allow extra time for a morning departure: the Ma-19 backs up in rush hour. Car hire returns are signposted but sprawling.

Essen & Trinken

Von der Bäckerei um die Ecke bis zum Fischlokal am Hafen.

Restaurants in Badia Gran

approx. 1 km · on foot

A handful of unfussy places in the village — Spanish-Mallorcan, pizza, a beach kiosk. Nothing spectacular, but walkable and exactly right for the evening you arrive.

Fish at S’Estanyol / Cala Pi

approx. 12–18 km

Small harbour villages on the south coast with honest fish restaurants. Far less touristy than Palma. Book ahead on a weekend evening.

Bakery / Forn

Tapas in Palma — Santa Catalina

approx. 25 km · 30 min

Palma’s going-out quarter: the market hall, tapas bars, busy streets in the evening. Pairs well with an afternoon in the old town. Use a car park rather than hunting for a space.

€€ Tapas Evening

Ausflüge & Tagestouren

Palma, Märkte, Höhlen und die Berge der Tramuntana — alles an einem Tag machbar.

Palma — cathedral & old town

approx. 25 km · 30 min

La Seu on the waterfront, the lanes behind it, the Passeig del Born. A good half day. Park at Parc de la Mar or Via Roma — street parking is hopeless.

Culture Half a day Palma

Llucmajor weekly market

approx. 12 km · 15 min

A traditional market in the town centre: fruit, vegetables, cheese, leather, crafts. Held several mornings a week (classically Wed/Fri/Sun) — check the times locally or on the town-hall notice. Go early; it packs up around midday.

Coves del Drac — caves

The island’s best-known caves, with an underground lake and a concert in the dark. Pleasantly cool — the perfect outing for a day that is too hot or too wet. Book online or expect to queue.

Road cycling & mountain biking
