Cala d’Or is a stylish seaside resort on Mallorca’s southeast coast, known for its whitewashed buildings, yacht-filled marina and a collection of picturesque coves with turquoise waters. Designed with a strong Mediterranean influence, the town has a relaxed, polished feel that sets it apart from some of the island’s larger resorts.
At the heart of Cala d’Or is its marina, lined with elegant restaurants, cafés and bars overlooking the water, especially popular at sunset. The town is surrounded by several small calas, including Cala Gran, Cala Esmeralda and Cala Ferrera, each offering sheltered beaches ideal for swimming and families. Inland, you’ll find pedestrian-friendly streets with boutiques, local shops and casual eateries, creating an easy going holiday atmosphere.
Cala d’Or also works well as a base for exploring this quieter side of Mallorca, with boat trips along the coast, cycling routes through rural landscapes and day trips to nearby towns such as Santanyí and Portopetro. Combining laid back beach life with a touch of sophistication, Cala d’Or appeals to visitors looking for comfort, scenery and a slower Mediterranean pace.
