The Llevant Peninsula Natural Park covers about 17,000 hectares in north-east Mallorca. Around 30% of its land area is publicly owned. In 2025, the Balearic government bought another 583.9 hectares: Son Jaumell in Capdepera, Mallorca, and Cala Torta, Cala Mitjana and Cala Estreta in Artà. The department says public land and conservation work are central to protecting the park for the long term.
