Badia Gran offers three distinct points to consider when planning your trip: the Saturday market in town, a stop on TIB route 504, and nearby Cala Badia Blava. The market has a set time slot, the bus route is relevant for getting there, and the cove is an option for a coastal outing. These points answer different questions and do not form a prescribed route together.
The Saturday Market
Tourism information published on 28 July 2025 lists the Badia Gran market as taking place every Saturday from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. in plaça de l’Almirall Joan de Borbó. This makes the day of the week a planning factor: if you would like to visit the market, your stay should include a Saturday. Check the current market hours before travelling if the visit is a fixed part of your plans. The market is therefore a specific point of reference for your weekend plans, and you can factor its opening hours into the rest of your day.
Nearby Cala Badia Blava
Cala Badia Blava is different from a sandy swimming cove: the shore has no sand, but instead numerous rocks and platforms. The water is clear; you can spread out a towel on the platforms and swim in the sea. If you would like to snorkel, the seabed is made up of sand, rocks, and Posidonia seagrass. The distinction between the rocky shore and the sandy parts of the seabed gives you a clear picture of this coastal outing. Water and shore conditions may vary.
Access is via steep, safe wooden stairways; from there, you can enjoy views of a rugged, steep stretch of coastline. As conditions can change, check current access information before visiting. The cove is mainly visited by residents of the Badia Blava and Badia Gran housing developments, which are built on a cliff; visitor patterns may vary.
Taking TIB Route 504
TIB route 504, which runs between Palma, s’Arenal, and Tolleric, stops in Badia Gran. This is a specific point of reference for travelling by bus. Routes and stop information may change, so check the current timetable and confirm the stop in Badia Gran before travelling. This is especially useful if the bus journey is a fixed part of your onward travel or journey to the area. This way, you can plan around the service running on your actual travel date.
Plan Your Stay and Accommodation
When considering a specific accommodation, check its location against the places you actually plan to visit. This lets you tailor your search to your own itinerary and treat the market, bus stop, and cove as distinct points to consider during your stay.
