Cala d'Or holidays have their finger in a couple of pies, with an appeal that hooks in families and couples alike.
Great for kids
This former fishing village has reinvented itself over the years, and these days the focus is on families instead of fresh-from-the-net seafood. Whitewashed hotels make Cala d’Or feel like Ibiza without the bassy backing track, and there’s a generous helping of shops, bars and restaurants bubbling away in the centre. For the best souvenir shops, boutiques and pavement cafés, have a saunter down the main strip – Avinguda Tagomago.
Romantic breaks
Couples often plump for Cala d’Or, as well. One of the major draws is the seven-strong selection of sandy beaches. They’re punched into the town’s shoreline like morse code, with sheltered sands and peacock-blue waters. Cala Esmeralda and Cala Ferrara are the most popular spots, and both come with a side order of trendy bars. The marina, meanwhile, is great for evening strolls beside the yachts and gourmet eateries.
