Cala d'Or hotels

Hotels in Cala d'Or

One of Majorca's most breathtaking resorts, Cala d'Or is noted for its photogenic whitewashed buildings and is among the oldest holiday resorts on the island. The community features several small sandy beaches, and overlooks fabulously clear turquoise waters which are ideal for swimming in between June and October.

Hotels

For high quality Cala d'Or hotels at impeccable value for money, consider the contemporary and chic Club Martha's Aparthotel. If you're looking for another high-end, luxury venue with superb hospitality, stay at the Melia Cala D'Or, or choose the Hotel Cala d'Or with fine views of the wonderful bay.

Restaurants

For some flavoursome Spanish, Mediterranean and Thai-themed cuisine, choose the family-run Restaurante Selani or, if you're looking to feel a little closer to home, you could consider the English and Irish-themed Molly's Irish Bistro & Pub. For other tantalising Spanish dishes, you can also try Churchills, Ca"n Trompe or Restaurant Diferent.

Nightlife in the area

Cala d'Or attracts large numbers of British visitors, which is reflected in the resort's friendly pub-style atmosphere. The area is also known for its popular tribute act performances and lively karaoke bars. For some late-night dances, head to Disco Farrah, which remains open well into the early hours.

Popular attractions in Majorca

Bellver Castle

The magnificent Gothic-style Bellver Castle dates back to the early 14th century and is noted for its highly unusual circular shape. The defence, which was built for King James II of Majorca, has been incredibly well preserved over the years, and has housed a historical artefacts exhibition since 1932.

Palma Cathedral – an extraordinary European landmark

This enormous Gothic Roman Catholic cathedral is one of the most extravagant churches in Spain and is 121 metres in length. Although work began in 1229, it took almost 400 years to complete Palma Cathedral, hence the unusual variations in its architectural style.

Santuari de Lluc

Another formidable site in Majorca is the Santuari de Lluc (sanctuary), which dates back to the 13th century and is adjacent to a picturesque botanic garden. The landmark is still an important centre of pilgrimage, and has been home to a boys' choir for almost 500 years.

Royal Palace of La Almudaina

The Royal Palace of La Almudaina in Palma is another astonishing landmark that was redesigned during the reign of King James II. The building, which is adjacent to the city's cathedral, was originally an Arab fortress and is now regularly open to the public.
