Cala d'Or is a holiday resort on the east coast of Mallorca consisting of three principal areas: the town centre of Cala d'Or, Cala Egos and Cala Ferrera. It offers many small, fine sandy beaches including Cala Gran, Cala d'Or, Cala Egos, Cala Es Forti, Cala Serena and Cala Esmeralda. A mini 'road train' regularly runs for holidaymakers between different parts of the resort and the beaches.
The smart resort of Cala d'Or is part of the municipal district of Santanyí, on the southern half of the east coast of Majorca. Cala d'Or today is a modern purpose built resort that has grown from a small traditional Mallorcan fishing village. Over the years the resort has expanded, and now covers an area of over 4km of small sandy coves and creeks. Although in all fairness this growth has for the most part been controlled, and the town still has the feeling of a small village with few, if any, high rise buildings.
The beach at Cala Gran is the largest in the town, but at 40m wide and 100m deep can never really be described as being large. Near here is Cala d'Or itself, from which the resort takes its name. This is a pine fringed cove with a small but crowded beach. Sun loungers, parasols and pedaloes can be hired at both of these beaches. In addition, there is also around 8 or 9 other smaller sandy coves in the area, although these can become extremely crowded in high season.
If the beaches at Cala d'Or become too crowded or if you wish to escape from Cala d'Or for the day, many visitors take the morning bus to Es Trenc. This beautiful beach of clear blue water and golden sand, backed by pine trees and dunes, stretches for almost 5km along the wild south eastern coast of the island. There's a small bar-restaurant here and you can hire sun umbrellas, but there are few other facilities and the beach rarely gets packed with bodies. Be warned though, Es Trenc is popular with nudists and the bodies that you do see are likely to be bare.
Cala d'Or is a very popular resort with UK and Irish tourists, and has a great deal to offer. The choice of restaurants is second-to-none and you can get nightly entertainment in many bars around town. For the youngsters there is plenty of nightlife and, of course, by day there are many fine and safe beaches around for all you sunworshippers.

Cala D' Or information
Cala dOr today is a modern purpose built resort built from an original fishing village. The resort has now spread over approx 4km of small nearby sandy coves and creeks. The resort still has the feeling of a small village and has few, if any, high rise buildings.
A large marina splits the resort in two, so unless you are prepared for quite a long walk or a ride in the tourist mini train, you are effectively isolated in whatever half of the town your accommodation lies.
The town centre has a varied selection of shops, bars and restaurants, but lacks many of the other familiy attractions such as waterparks, mini golf etc.
Cala Gran, close to the centre of the resort, is the largest beach. Near here is Cala dOr itself, a pine-fringed cove with a small but crowded beach. Sunloungers, parasols and pedaloes can be hired at both of these beaches, and also at Cala Mondrago.
There are around 8 or 9 other small sandy coves, which give the resort its name, which can become extremely crowded in high season. Most have a varied selection of watersports available at reasonable rates.
