Roca Llisa can be explored in different ways: a 9-hole golf course, a coastal landscape with views of Formentera, and routes on foot or by kayak. The golf course opened in 1972 as the course of the now-dissolved Club de Roca Llisa. When planning, you can first decide whether golf, a stay on the coast or a route should shape your visit most.
Coastal Landscape and Cala Olivera
Roca Llisa lies between the sea and the mountains. Roca Llisa Mar extends along a stretch of coast between the small coves of Cala Espart and Cala Olivera and faces south. From Roca Llisa Mar, you can enjoy views of the sea and the island of Formentera. In the vicinity of Roca Llisa, a dense pine forest lies behind Cala Olivera.
Cala Olivera has a sandy beach about 30 metres long and about 10 metres wide. The clear, deep emerald-green waters invite you to explore the seabed with a diving mask. There are no services on site. If you plan to spend time there, arrange any supplies you need before your visit.
Golf: Course Layout and Time Required
The first four holes of the 9-hole course feature bunkers and trees, while the last five have several lakes. The course is described as suitable for both beginners and experienced players. Because of the terrain, it can be played comfortably in about two hours. The hole layout and approximate playing time offer two different points of reference: the features of the holes help you get a sense of the course, while the time estimate helps you plan your day.
Routes on Foot and by Kayak
The Camí de sa Roca Llisa is a public path in Santa Eulària des Riu. In the vicinity of Roca Llisa, the Camí de Cala Espart is a public path in the Sa Marina de Jesús area of Santa Eulària des Riu. The condition and public access details of the paths may change, so check locally before including them in your plans.
On foot, hiking route 10 goes from Jesús through Cala Espart. By kayak, route 16 runs from Talamanca to Cala Olivera and passes Cala Espart at the foot of the Roca Llisa holiday complex. Cala Espart is therefore a shared landmark for two differently routed activities: a hiking route and a kayak route. Check route conditions and access locally before setting off.
Getting There and Choosing Accommodation
The access road to Cala Olivera follows the road to Cala Llonga into the Roca Llisa residential development; you must pass its security checkpoint along the way. Check the current access conditions before your visit.
When looking for hotels for a stay in Roca Llisa, it helps to decide on your main focus first: golf, the coast or routes. For a specific accommodation, check its location in relation to the destination you want to visit and confirm availability for your travel dates.
