At Reverence Hotels we haven't gone crazy. There are dragons in Mallorca, and they live on an island called “Sa Dragonera”, located in the southwest of Mallorca, in the municipality of Andratx, less than 20 minutes by car from our hotels Reverence Mare en Palmanova and Reverence Life en Santa Ponsa . This small islet, also known for its exceptional natural landscape and its importance as a nature reserve, offers a unique adventure for our guests, combining the beauty of nature with the rich history of the region.
Sa Dragonera has a maximum length of 4 kilometers and a width of around 500 meters, with a total area of 2.88 square kilometers. And it can only be reached by boat, with organized excursions that depart from Sant Elm, providing an exclusive and unforgettable experience for those looking to explore beyond the beaches and discover the secrets that this island keeps.
The name "Sa Dragonera" comes from the word "dragon", in reference to the presence of endemic lizards called "dragons" of the island (Podarcis lilfordi), which are a protected species. Although these lizards are not true dragons, the name has contributed to the mystery and fascination around the island. And it has allowed us a headline that perhaps has caught your attention and that, furthermore, is true!! So they are different “dragons”; Relatively small, they measure between 15 and 20 centimeters in length, although they can reach slightly larger sizes. And they have a coloration that varies from brown and gray tones to greenish tones, which allows them to effectively camouflage themselves in their rocky environment.
Declared a Natural Park in 1995, Sa Dragonera is a biodiversity sanctuary and an example of successful conservation. The island invites you to explore, a wonderful excursion in Mallorca through the Sa Dragonera trails, which offer impressive views of cliffs, hidden coves and a diversity of flora and fauna characteristic of the Mediterranean.
In addition to its natural value, Sa Dragonera also has important historical and cultural value. On the island you can find remains of fortifications and defensive constructions dating back to medieval times, as well as a lighthouse that marks its highest point. For all these reasons, it is a popular destination for hikers, nature lovers and those seeking to enjoy the tranquility and beauty of the Mallorcan landscape.
