Cala d'Or is a very popular resort with UK and Irish tourists, and has a great deal to offer. This area is a well established location on the south east coast of Mallorca island which has largely avoided the excesses of large scale tourism development. Originally named Cala d'Hort after one of the loveliest beaches in Ibiza, the local accent has gradually transformed the name into Cala d' Or. There are seven beaches within Cala D'or, however it has been known to get very busy at times. The resort still has a slight feel of being a fishing village as there are no high rise buildings, and it is not too built up. The sea is perfectly safe to swim in, with shallow waters making it perfect for children. The resort was established around a series of the sandy coves that are typical of the coastline in this part of Mallorca including the small sandy beach at Cala Egos and Cala Gran, the main beach which is in Cala d'Or centre. The beautiful marina at Cala d'Or is the ideal starting point for yacht charters in Mallorca, for a unique and unforgettable view of the coastline. Golfing holidays are also catered for with the Vall d'Or Golf club just a few klm away. The surrounding rolling countryside in this area makes it great for cycling holidays.

Cala d'Or is a Mallorca treasure trove of tucked away inlets lined with sandy shores. Clusters of whitewashed buildings - like the Rocamarina Hotel - make up the resort, complete with big marinas, quaint fishing villages and buzzing beachfronts. Good things come in small packages here – even the biggest beaches are small. But there's watersports and sunbeds at all of them. Take a trip to Es Trenc, a beautiful remote beach - but be prepared for sunbathers in all their natural glory!

Cala d'Or has seven beaches, of which the biggest and most popular is Cala Gran, all with fine white sand and clear shallow water. The larger beaches have good facilities offering a range of water sports including sailing, windsurfing and scuba-diving. Cala d'Or became a desirable spot to have a holiday. The resort has now spread out to include seven of these coves, all now filled with attractive hotels, apartment blocks and villas. Cala d'Or is extremely popular with families as there are plenty of facilities for families, couples & children.

Nightlife in Cala d’Or is tasteful and stylish, rather than frenetic, centred around the many bars and discos.
There are an abundance of bars to choose from, whether you just want to sit & relax on a warm terrace with a jug of the local Sangria, or want something a little livelier, Cala D’or has something for everyone. There are several karaoke bars for the budding singers, cocktails bars offering a spectacular choice of wet & wild drinks, disco bars, where you can dance the night away to the early hours, & family bars offering children’s entertainment & party atmosphere. Every year in the second week of August, Cala D'or has a festival with market stalls, live bands playing in the square and a grand firework display on the last evening

The local bus service from and to Cala d'Or is good, reliable & cheap so you can take excursions to the resorts of Porto Colom, Porto Cristo, Cala Bona, Cala Millor or the many markets held throughout the week. We recommend Felanitx Sunday Market for browsing and haggling with the locals. If sightseeing is your thing, jump on a bus to the nearby monastery of San Salvador and look at the breathtaking views from the top of the mountain.

Cala d'Or's upmarket restaurants are situated in the centre, which is usually buzzing with a lively international crowd enjoying a variety of cuisines. The restaurants offer everything you could possibly want, tapas bars, pizza parlours, burger joints and much more choice for all tastes. We recommend Indiana Johns Grill World, which is just off the main shopping street, where you will get a warm welcome from Lianne & her team, & the best food around. Try the homemade Apple Pie, one of Mick’s favourites. At the marina try Zoccolos for snacks and sandwiches and paella.
