Cala D'Or, Majorca (Mallorca), Balearic Islands, Spain
Description
Cala d'Or 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.
Wander through the quiet market town of Felanitx and climb up to the fortress of Castell de Santueri for impressive
views. Alternatively, on the next hilltop, the Puig de Sant Salvador, a former monastery offers equally majestic sights.
For an impressive mix of shopping and culture head to Palma for a day out. It's only an hour away!

Beaches
If there’s truth in a name, then Cala d’Or – the Golden Cove – is a very accurate description.
Its series of small coves and deep inlets are blanketed in beautiful golden sands, justifiably popular and sometimes
very crowded in high season.
Marina
Cala d'Or has a beautiful marina with restaurants and cafes. The marina also has plenty of discos for late night
dancing.
Shopping
Cala d'Or has an array of shopping possibilities in it's pedestrianised centre from the sophisticatedchic boutique
to the work of local artisans, the majority of which are largely situated behind Cala d'Or and Cala Gran. The basics
are catered for at each of the coves, however.
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.
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 cafe clad wharves at the marina may attract couples, the sheltered coves make excellent
and safe bathing
conditions for children.

Lineker’s Bar in Cala D'or is the only place where you can party until 3am - using the table and chairs as
podiums if you wish! Mallorca is another of the holiday resorts to be won over by the charm and World Famous atmosphere

season.
