Situated on the southeast coast of Majorca, Cala d'Or 'the golden coast' is comprised of a two-mile stretch of sandy beaches and rocky coves. Cala d'Or has developed from a traditional fishing village into an elegant resort with a chic marina, yacht club, fine restaurants, traditional whitewashed Spanish houses and beautiful beaches. The marina is a perfect spot to unwind over a coffee and watch the luxury yachts sailing into the harbour. The main street, Avinguda Tagomago, is popular with shopping enthusiasts who come to browse the chic boutiques, designer shops and art galleries.
Holidays in Cala d'Or are based along the two-mile stretch of coastline, which is divided into seven coves. The longest of these sandy beaches is Cala Gran, which is lapped by crystal clear waters and dotted with sun loungers and umbrellas. This beach is popular with sunbathers and swimmer alike. Lining the harbour is a good selection of fine restaurants, offering alfresco dining and locally caught seafood dishes, and sophisticated bars serving an abundance of cocktails.
Holidays in Cala d'Or offer a choice of nearby excursions. Those wanting to explore further a field can head to the beautiful, secluded palm-fringed beach of Es Trenc, haggle for bargains at the bustling Felanitx Sunday market, or take a daytrip to the island's capital, Palma. Holidays in Cala d'Or are not complete without a visit to the historic city of Palma, with its beautiful architecture, chic boutiques and sophisticated café culture. Mosey round the narrow streets and leafy squares, visit the 13th-century Gothic cathedral, the Palau March contemporary art museum, and the Es Baluard museum of Spanish art.
