Cala d’Or meaning ‘Golden Cove’, located on the southeast coast of Majorca just 90 minutes from the airport, is an attractive purpose-built resort, perfect for families and couples. Developed around a charming fishing village, Cala d’Or has grown into a chic elegant holiday resort, with excellent sandy beaches, great shopping and a lively marina.

Cala d’Or spreads 4km along the eastern coast, encompassing the rocky coves and small sandy beaches called ‘calas’ that are a feature of the area. The resort has seven of these coves within its’ coastline, the most popular of these being Cala Gran, offering the largest sandy beach with swimming in the safe clear blue waters, sheltered sunbathing, and facilities such as sunbeds, parasols and pedalos available. The beach is ideally placed in front of the pedestrianised area of Cala d’Or, home to many shops, bars and restaurants.  The resorts’ elegant marina and the Cala d’Or yacht club are found in the largest cove, Cala Llonga, and there are plenty of waterside bars and cafes dotted around to enjoy a drink whilst enjoying the bustle of the busy marina.

Whilst Cala d’Or has retained its’ small village feel, the atmosphere is chic and fairly sophisticated. The shopping in Cala d’Or is renowned, with the main street, Avinguda Tagomago, filled with designer boutiques, leather stores and art galleries. Local artisan shops sell pottery, glass and wood carvings and the nearby Sunday morning market at Felanitz has some great bargains. The more upmarket restaurants and bars are found down at the marina at Cala Llonga, offering many different cuisines, but always a great selection of fish and seafood, with there are a wide variety of restaurants to suit all tastes and budgets throughout the resort.

Nightlife in Cala d’Or tends to be fairly lively and stylish but not at all hectic, with plenty of places to watering holes including cocktail bars, karaoke bars and British style holiday pubs.
