Villas in Cala D'or Resort

Cala D’or might be one of the island’s more sophisticated holiday resorts, but it still knows how to let its hair down and party in a low-key sort of way! Although much of the town is very family oriented with specials menus for children, for example, there is no shortage of cocktail bars, clubs, karaoke and live music, with most places on the main strip staying open until the early hours.

If you don’t want to cook at your villa, eating out will be one of the highlights of your Villa Plus holiday in Cala D'or. As you would expect, seafood is a major component of the menus here, especially the more expensive offerings around the harbour. You can try some excellent local dishes such as shrimp paella and squid in its own ink. The best value is often to be found at the smaller family-run places that will give you a huge welcome and are happy to advise you on your choice of tapas and other traditional Spanish food. If you want more variety, you can find Italian, Mexican, Indian, Chinese and British eateries. If you crave a burger, don’t fret, there are also plenty of fast food restaurants. Then there are the cafes where you can enjoy the great Majorcan desserts and cakes.

If you prefer more remote, less crowded sunbathing, it is worth visiting The Mondrago Natural Park, famous for its fine white sandy beaches, which is only twenty minutes’ drive away down tiny winding lanes lined with intricate stone walls. You can really get back to nature here as the whole area is protected from development. Two beaches, S'Aramador and Mondrago are linked by a paved promenade. Despite the remoteness of the place, each beach has its own bar and there is also a visitor centre in the car park, open from 9am to 4pm. The sea here is a vivid turquoise blue that hardly looks real. There are a number of trails along the coastline, and plenty of interesting birds and other wildlife to keep you absorbed.
