Cala d'Or

Small sandy coves and inviting, picturesque beaches make Cala d'Or one of Majorca's most alluring resorts. A lively atmosphere presides here, restaurants, bars and shops are aplenty coupled with ample sightseeing opportunities. Cala d'Or offers much to do both day and night.
Location:
65km east of Palma, having grown from a small Mallorcan fishing village Cala d'Or covers 4km of small sandy coves and creeks.
Beaches:
The beach at Cala Gran is the largest beach in town at 40m wide and 100m deep. Beaches in Cala d'Or may get crowded so if you wish to escape for the day you can get the morning bus to Es Trenc, a beautiful golden sandy beach stretching for 5km backed by pine trees and dunes with clear blue water (this is also a popular beach with nudists).
Sightseeing:
Take a trip down to the marina in the heart of the resort and spot the luxury yachts & boats, or maybe a celebrity at a waterside restaurant or bar. Looking over the nearby village of S'Horta is the 'Castillo de Santueri'. Steeped in history, this where at the beginning of the 13th century King Jaime drove the Moors out of Majorca. Further afield are the Caves of Drac, discovered in 1896 visitors can follow a route around six beautiful underground lakes. The Caves of Hams are also a short drive away. Discovered in 1905 by Pedro Caldently, these caves are famous for their peculiar formations and marvellous underground lakes.
Leisure:
Cala d'Or has good facilities for sports enthusiasts with options for diving, tennis and sailing. There are also a good variety of eateries in Cala d'Or with restaurants serving dishes from paellas and typical Majorcan cuisine to traditional English food. The nightlife is lively yet tasteful with a wide range of bars from which to choose.
Transport:
You can travel between all of Cala d'Or's coves on a tourist minitrain which runs between the marina and the town centre throughout the summer holiday season.
