Cala d'Or Holidays

Last minute holidays to Cala d’Or

Cala d'Or is a pretty Majorcan resort popular for singles, couples and family holidays.  A cala is a rocky cove, unique to this area. Once picturesque retreats, they have become popular holiday resorts - Cala d’Or is one of the liveliest.
This village was discovered in the 1930s, by a group of artists who were drawn to its charm and beauty and settled in picturesque cottages round the harbour. Today, as then, Cala d'Or is a chic and fashionable resort, with a luxurious marina and sophisticated restaurants and shops.
Cala d’Or has several lively beaches, the largest being Cala Gran, which has a range of water sports. Most beaches are only accessible via a steep slope or flight of steps, but once there you are rewarded with deep sandy inlets offering safe, shallow bathing.

Some specifically cater for family breaks, while others are more geared towards adults only.
