Holidays in Cala D'Or

Like most resorts in the Balearic Islands, the resort of Cala d'Or (Golden Cove) grew up from a local fishing village after its charms and idyllic setting were 'discovered' - in this case, by a group of artists who settled here in the thirties. They built their white, flat-roofed houses around the town's charming fishing harbor, and soon the word spread. Cala d'Or became a desirable spot to have a holiday home, or for a relaxing seaside vacation. The original village and harbor was situated in one of the small rocky coves with sandy beaches, called 'calas', that are everywhere on Majorca's east coast. The resort has now spread out to include several of these coves, all now filled with attractive hotels, apartment blocks and villas. Cala d'Or is extremely popular with families as most hotels and restaurants cater very well for children.
