Luxury Cala d'Or Holidays

Sophisticated seaside town

Cala d'Or

This once-quiet resort on Majorca’s south-east coast has glammed up in recent years, but there’s no doubt Cala d’Or stays true to its fishing village roots.

A series of little coves and sandy bays punctuate the coastline, each with uniform golden sand and a calm, shallow shore. The beaches are a favourite with families, well-stocked with beach bars selling drinks and ice-cream.

The smart pedestrianised centre hosts a mix of cosmopolitan bars, boutiques and family-friendly restaurants that fuel a chilled-out nightlife. A stroll along the promenade will take you to Cala d’Or’s swish marina, filled with million-pound yachts and fantastic seafood restaurants. It’s more family-oriented by day, particularly at the weekends, yet attracts a sophisticated crowd of bar-hoppers by night.

Hotel porters and maids will appreciate a small tip, and while taxi drivers don’t require a tip, it’s common to round up the fare.
