The beach in general
Cala Comptessa is a lovely little sand beach, nestled between low cliffs and tall trees. The beach is barely 100 metres wide and is not particularly wide.
A small number of sun loungers and parasols are available to rent. There’s tough competition for the spots during the summer, so plan to show up quite early. The same goes for the parking spots nearby.
The small island Ille de Sa Caleta is located a couple of hundred metres from the shore, so experienced swimmers might want to consider going on a short excursion.
