Cala dOr Mallorca, Classy Holiday Resort With Cala dOr Marina And Perfect Beaches

Cala dOr Mallorca

Cala dOr Mallorca is without doubt one of the very finest places to holiday in the Balearics, combing the very stylish Marina with a near perfect family holiday resort. Its charm lies in the fact that the resort is stylish without being pretentious, lively but never roudy. The place to be seen without being too formal.

Cala dOr itself is an area that surrounds the 6 local calas, that cover a distance along the coast of around 2 miles. The town centre is compact and pedestrianised, with the interlocking streets lined with restaurants, cafes and bars, and a small number of clubs.

If you are after a wild nightlife then Cala dOr will probably not be your kind of holiday resort, but if you are after the sort of resort where you can go out in the evening for a meal with your family or partner, then perhaps onto a cocktail bar or chill out bar then Cala dDor certainly will be.

The town is also well catered for in terms of supermarkets, one large superstore in the central area and smaller stores located throughout the resort, which are mainly Spar brand, and sell many products that you will know from home, also a great place to stock up on any drinks for your holiday relaxing, at prices cheaper than the UK, it also has the British Supermarket, which is located just 2 minutes from the resort centre near the Marina entrance that sells many UK products that are harder to find in Mallorca. Cala dOr as you would expect also has petrol stations, and one which is open 7 days per week, which is located next to the large Eroski supermarket. Just the same as at home it is wise to check prices as they can vary, the large Eroski supermarket does offer the largest range of products and on the whols the best prices.

For travellers with young children, as we have been for many years, as our Cala dOr friends will know ! we have never had a problem getting the sort of products that you may need, the only issue may be baby milk, whilst it is available, it will be a different brand to your normal, so may be best to bring your own, nappies and similar are widely available.

Cala dOr Beaches

Cala dOr is perfect for beach lovers, the resort is blessed with 6 calas each with its own sand beach, crystal clear blue water and fine soft white sand. The beaches vary in size, but none are large each offering its own unique charm.

Great Weather All Year

Mallorca is blessed with seasons just like the UK, and as such offers different aspects at different times of the year. Many people just think of visiting Mallorca just in the peak summer months, but to the regulars who visit Mallorca, and especially Cala dOr throughout the year, the out of season months are some of the most special, deserted beaches, meadows full of wild flowers, empty roads, and the peaceful laid back lifestyle. The spring and autumn months are perfect for exploring the island, the sun and warm temperatures make it perfect for cycling and walking or just lazy days relaxing by the waters edge.

Cala dor Town

Cala dOr town centre is perfect for families and couples alike, it has a lively and friendly atmosphere, a great mix of shops, restaurants and bars, always something to see or do. The main area is pedestrianised, ideal for exploring or simply stopping to enjoy the atmosphere.

Eating out in Cala dOr can be as simple or as upmarket as you choose, and as all Mallorca resorts there are restaurants that will serve the normal holiday food, and children's meals can be found for as little as 3 euros, but if you are looking for something a little better, you will have plenty of choice, there are also fine dining restaurants if you are looking for something special, a number of these are based around the marina.

Currently there seems to be lots of talk on holiday forums about the cost of eating out , in Cala dOr there will be places to eat and drink that will cover every budget, knowing the island of Mallorca, I am sure that Cala dOr is no more expensive than any other resort.

The Local Area

Cala dOr is located on the South East of Mallorca, which most people would be considered one of the quieter areas on the Island, far enough away from the masses of resorts like Magluf and Palma Nova, but not far away if you wish to explore the Island, you are just 50 minutes from Palma Airport.

If you study the area on something like Google maps, the first thing you will notice is that there are no big resorts nearby, just a selection of small villages, many working fishing ports, full of small local boats often with just one man aboard. The area is also peppered with small Calas, amazing white sandy beaches, with rock outcrops covered with pine trees, often down to the waters edge. Many of these Calas are a little off the beaten track, so may well need a little finding, but well worth the effort. These are located in an area of around 10 miles either side of Cala dOr, not far, so the little ones will not drive you mad in the car whilst travelling. If you are happy to travel a little further afield, around a 30 minute drive away you will find the simply stunning beach of Es Trenc, it has the be seen to be believed.
