Cala d'Or (Golden Cove) The original village and harbour was situated in one of the small rocky coves with sandy beaches, called 'calas', of which there are many on Mallorca's east coast. The resort has now spread out to encompass several of these coves, all now full of attractive hotels, apartment blocks and villas. It is approximately 1hr 30 mins drive away from the airport. It is a very chic resort, recommended for families because most establishments cater extremely well for children. The Cala d'Or marina is the heart of the east coast resort area, attracting the fashionable yachting set.

 

Shopping: Cala d'Or is known as the best shopping district on Mallorca, its main shopping street filled with chic boutiques, leather shops and galleries. Designer clothes and shoes, in particular, are available at reasonable prices. Souvenir shopping is fun with the wide variety of local crafts, traditional pottery and glass, and olive wood carvings available at several stores, and at the Sunday morning flea market in Felanitx. Those in self-catering apartments will find all they require at the resort's biggest supermarket, Caprabo, near the resort entrance, which sells many international products including baby food and nappies.

Restaurants: Cala d'Or's upmarket restaurants are situated around the marina. The centre of town offers fast food outlets, tapas bars, pizza parlours, burger joints and several British pub 'n grub type establishments. There is also a Wimpy outlet in the town centre. There are several family restaurants and bars that offer kid’s menus and have dedicated kids play areas allowing mum and dad to relax over a meal or drink whilst the kids play.

Nightlife: Nightlife in Cala d'Or is tasteful and stylish, rather than frenetic, centred around the many cocktail and family bars. There is a Linekers bar in the centre of town, Hollywood’s is the local karaoke bar, Mallorcalandia  is a huge area dedicated to kids with rides, trampolines, mini go karts and much more.

Activities: Cala d’Or has seven beaches, of which the largest is Cala Gran, all with fine white sand and clear shallow water. The larger beaches have good facilities offering water sports. There is a train that takes you all around the resort stopping off at the main areas. Most hotels offer full entertainment programmes for children.
