A small bay of fine white sand with a restaurant on an island you walk to over a wooden bridge. The family beach of the south-west, and quietly one of its prettiest.
No sand. Flat rock shelves, iron ladders straight into deep blue water, and the sun going down in front of you. The port's own swimming pool, and in October you have it to yourself.
The end of the road on the west of the island: a small fishing village looking straight at Sa Dragonera, an uninhabited island shaped like a sleeping dragon that the locals saved from developers in 1977.
A ruined monastery on a cliff terrace above Sa Dragonera, built by Trappist monks who fled France, abandoned, burned, bought back by the island's bird society with public money. Two hours up from Sant Elm, and the best view in the south-west.
The ice cream in the port since 1979. Made in their own workshop behind the square, no additives, twenty-odd flavours, open until half past eleven. The last stop of every evening walk.
A rock with a hole in it sticking out into the sea below Deià, a shack restaurant on the cliff above it that cooks paella over wood, and the best sunset on the island. Reached on foot down from an archduke's estate, or by boat.
