Villas in Cala d’Or 2024/2025

Things to do in Cala d'Or

Cala d'Or is known for its relaxing vibe and year-round weather, where the sun rarely retreats. As Majorca is part of the Balearic Islands, it's a popular winter destination, so you'll be able to appreciate the attractions throughout the year.

With its many beaches and the infamous harbour, you won't be short of natural beauty here, but that's not all Cala d'Or has to offer.

There's also an abundance of golf courses, festivals and live music to enjoy. With so much to offer, it's no wonder this destination is so popular, and with Solmar Villas, you can enjoy it.

Beaches in Cala d'Or

As you'd expect from Cala d'Or (literal translation is Golden Bay), there are plenty of beautiful beaches to appreciate. The seas are relatively calm, with plenty of activities for children to enjoy. However, some get busy - especially in peak seasons, so it helps to know the quieter spots.

While there are a couple of large beaches, most of this popular resort town has sandy coves that offer stunning turquoise waters and rugged beauty.

Platja de Cala Ferrera

Platja de Cala Ferrera is one of the most popular beaches for tourists, and it links to a smaller and more intimate beach, Playa de Cala Serena. This beach has a range of amenities for everyone to enjoy a fun-filled day with sun loungers and beach bars, to water sports.

Playa Cala Gran

As the biggest beach in Cala d'Or, Playa Cala Gran attracts lots of tourists daily, so if you're going in peak season, it's best to book loungers with umbrellas in advance.

With a range of beach bars and restaurants, you'll find plenty to keep the kids entertained, and there are always numerous lifeguards on duty.

Cala Esmeralda Beach

Cala Esmeralda can get quite busy because of the number of surrounding hotels, but despite that, it has an intimate feel and plenty of gorgeous scenery. The beach also uses ladders on the rocks for people swimming in deeper areas.

Nightlife in Cala d'Or

Mallorca is popular with families and young people, but Cala d'Or is quiet in the off-peak season. You won't find as many nightclubs here, so if you don't like crowded nightclubs and prefer a more relaxed vibe, this resort town could be the perfect holiday spot.

Bliss Bar Rooftop Lounge

Cocktail lovers often make this lively venue their go-to place because of the fantastic assortment of drinks. With friendly locals and a welcoming atmosphere, this is a popular bar for good reason.

Dugan's

There's always a party at Dugan's, with the famous Irish bar offering a fun-filled yet down-to-earth atmosphere. Enjoy drinking, laughing, eating and listening to some great live acts.

Lola

Lola combines a chic tapas restaurant, bar, and live music venue perfectly. It's got a unique style and serves some amazing food throughout the evening.

Food and Drink in Cala d'Or

Cala d'Or specialises in traditional Mediterranean cuisine, including fresh seafood and tapas, but you'll also find some family-friendly restaurants serving English and American-style food.

Yacht Club

As you'd expect from a yacht club, this restaurant is all about serving high-quality food. It's more expensive than your average restaurant but is worth the money - with an exclusive atmosphere and excellent views.

Restaurante Selani

Restaurante Selani is popular with the locals, so you can be sure you're getting great food here. From traditional tapas and seafood dishes to juicy steaks, you'll eat well - and it's an inexpensive option.

Churchill's

Churchill's is another great option for a relaxed vibe, with an extensive lunch menu and tapas choices in the evening. What makes this restaurant popular, though, is its 15 different varieties of gin, all available for you to sample.

History and Culture in Cala d'Or

As Cala d'Or is a relatively new town in Mallorca, you won't find any ancient Roman artefacts, but that doesn't mean it lacks culture. Also known as 'Little Ibiza', the town's beauty is down to artist Josep Costa's creative mind.

He bought it in 1930 and began to build the town, and you can see his artistic influence everywhere. Some of the most popular cultural activities in the area include:

Es Fortí

Located in Cala Egos, Es Fortí is an 18th Century fortress with fabulous views. You can see the history everywhere, and the original cannons remain intact. The fort is worth a visit, and you can take some great photographs.

Sant Salvador & Santueri Castle

Santueri Castle and Sant Salvador are within a short distance of one another, making them an excellent choice for a cultural day trip. Located in Sierra de Levante, Sant Salvador monastery is an awe-inspiring place 500 metres above the sea.

We recommend you start here in the morning, then hike to Santueri Castle in the afternoon. The walk between the two is two and a half hours, but it's worth the trip. Of course, you can always rent a car to save time and energy.

International Jazz Festival

Every year, people worldwide travel to Cala d'Or for some excellent jazz music. Taking place in June, the festival does get busy, so you should book in advance, but it's worth the trip if you appreciate Jazz music.

Family-friendly activities

Cala d'Or might be a quieter location in Majorca, but that doesn't mean families can't have a fantastic time. Whether you want to stay in the area or travel further afield, you'll find some great activities and day trips to entertain the little ones.

Mondrago Natural Park

Mondrago Natural Park is simply stunning and well worth a visit if you appreciate the beauty of nature. At around 1,893 acres, you won't be able to see everything, but there's a great mix of dunes, ravines, forests and grassland, and an abundance of birds.

Head to Palma de Mallorca

Palma de Mallorca is a vast resort with plenty of historical sites to see, and it's just under an hour away from Cala d'Or. Stroll through the town and enjoy the many shops, restaurants and bars, or head further out to Aqualand waterpark, which is around 15 minutes away from Palma de Mallorca.

Stroll round Marina De Cala d'Or

The Cala d'Or marina is full of natural beauty and the ideal place to watch boats come and go. You can also grab an ice cream or eat at one of the many restaurants and bars.

Boat excursions

Cala d'Or is also an excellent location for boat trips, with plenty to choose between. The sailing tours are top-rated, or if you're in the need for a spot of luxury, why not rent a private yacht for the day?
