What makes Cala d'Or special as a destination?
Cala d'Or on the southeast coast of Mallorca is a true paradise of coves that has captivated German holidaymakers for decades. The charming resort combines five picturesque calas - from Cala Gran to Cala Esmeralda to the hidden Cala Serena - which, with their crystal-clear turquoise waters and pine-fringed cliffs, remind one of the Caribbean. The low, white architecture in Ibiza style gives the place a special flair that pleasantly distinguishes it from the hotel complexes of other coastal towns. The car-free pedestrian zone with boutiques, restaurants, and cozy cafés invites leisurely strolls, while the Cala d'Or marina exudes a touch of exclusivity. Families appreciate the gently sloping, sheltered coves, couples enjoy the romantic sunsets over the sea, and active vacationers take advantage of the fantastic snorkeling and kayaking opportunities along the rugged coastline.
