Sa 'e Mimmiu - all beaches

The beach was extremely crowded and quite dirty, especially on the left side where swimming was not recommended due to the wind. The right side was cleaner but still busy and windy. Just a 30-minute walk away is the beautiful La Caletta beach, which is definitely worth checking out. As you move towards the port, you'll find an authentic and wild-looking area that is great for photos, although not ideal for swimming. There is a large garden restaurant and bar, making it a fully family-friendly spot.

The beach is quite lengthy and has a unique sandy texture. In some of the more secluded areas, you can find spots that are completely deserted. Snorkeling is a must-do activity here. Additionally, there are plenty of opportunities to partake in beach games like beach tennis.

This beach is one of the top kitesurfing spots with clear and shallow water. Although the wind can be unpredictable and gusty at times, it's usually good enough to go out. I would definitely consider returning to this beach. However, parking can be pricey at €8 for the entire day. If you're looking to save some money, you can park in the free area before the park.

The lighthouse is abandoned and cannot be accessed. However, you can park for free in the small parking lot nearby. The area around the lighthouse offers some stunning views, and for those feeling a bit adventurous, you can climb down to the sea over the rocks. As of August 2018, there were around 20 towers of stacked rocks along the coast just north of the lighthouse, though I'm not sure if they are still there.

We stayed at this beach for a week and were a bit worried because we had read some negative reviews. However, our experience was quite different. We made our booking with TUI and they were considerate enough to call us when they thought we might miss the coach, even though we had a car rented. The pool area was pleasant, although there were always some people who woke up extremely early to reserve the sunbeds, even though it was against the hotel's policy. Unfortunately, you can't avoid entitled and selfish individuals. The beach area was nice, and some reviews exaggerate the amount of seaweed buildup. Yes, there was some seaweed and a slight smell, but that's just nature and it didn't bother us. It might be a good idea to wear water shoes as some of the stones in the water can be sharp. The pine forest was beautiful and provided a refreshing break from the heat, with the sound of cicadas in the background. The food, for the most part, was very good, although I found the breakfast to be average. However, lunch and dinner were excellent, with homemade pasta, themed nights, and fantastic pizza. There were plenty of activities throughout the day and nightly entertainment, so there was no need to leave the hotel premises. However, we did explore the area since we had a car. The staff were all attentive, friendly, and welcoming, always going out of their way to assist us. Overall, the hotel, grounds, food, and staff were fantastic, and I would definitely recommend this hotel.
