Map & location
Colonia Sant Jordi, Majorca, Balearics, Spain
Universal Grand Leon & Spa sits on the seafront in Colonia Sant Jordi, a laid-back former fishing harbour on Majorca’s south coast. Today it’s known for clear turquoise waters, little rock pools for paddling and restaurants serving just-landed seafood along the promenade.
From here, you’re perfectly placed for Es Trenc, one of Majorca’s most celebrated white-sand beaches, as well as protected natural parks and coastal walking and cycling routes. The resort itself stays low-key and local, making this a great choice if you prefer chilled evenings and sea air over nightlife.
- Seafront promenade on the doorstep
- Small local beach 200m
- Larger sandy beach 700m
- Resort centre (restaurants, bars, harbour) in the immediate area
- Approx. transfer time from airport 1 hour 15 minutes from Palma de Mallorca (PMI)
