Cala D’Or

With its blend of high-end yachting facilities, destination beaches and tempting cruising options, the increasingly exclusive southeastern resort of Cala d’Or is one of Mallorca’s finest boating hotspots. Its fractured coastline features seven primary calas (coves) and while each narrow inlet offers a sandy beach with warm shallow waters and natural shelter, they also tend to offer up their own unique characters. If Cala Serena feels engagingly natural with very little in the way of tourist development, the largest and best serviced of the local coves is undoubtedly Cala Gran. This popular spot is equipped with showers and toilets, plus a kids’ play area and a lifeguard service – and just as at Cala Ferrera, there are plenty of bars and restaurants directly to hand.
