Cala d'Or Holiday

Cala d'Or, situated on the southeastern coast, in Majorca's riviera, is the sort of place where you will feel like ordering cappuccino instead of filter coffee and champagne instead of wine. The elegance of the gleaming yachts swaying in the refreshing sea breeze of the marina only adds to the area's sophisticated charm.

Today, the name Cala d'Or refers to the string of coves punctuating this part of Majorca's varied coastline. Each has something unique to offer, whether it be the largest of the beaches at Cala Gran or the opulent marina at Cala Llonga. While the restaurant and café clad wharves at the marina may attract couples, the sheltered coves make excellent and safe bathing conditions for children.

Beaches

If there's truth in a name, then Cala d'Or - the Golden Cove - is a very accurate description. Its small coves and deep inlets are blanketed in beautiful golden sands, justifiably popular and sometimes very crowded in high season.

Shopping

Cala d'Or has an array of shopping possibilities, from the sophisticated boutique to the work of local artisans, the majority of which are situated behind Cala d'Or and Cala Gran. However, the basics are catered for at each of the coves.

Nightlife

Although fairly low-key, there is ample nightlife for those who want it. Cala d'Or has several bars, often with live music. The marina also has plenty of discos for late night dancing.

Local Specialities

When hunger strikes, Cala d'Or has a wide range of restaurants and bars, especially by the marina. Seafood is a speciality.
