Cala d'Or Guide Holiday Rentals, Villas & Apartments to Rent, Holiday Homes
Cala d'Or is a thriving summer holiday resort from May until mid October and was one of the first tourist areas on the east coast of Mallorca.
The resort is also just 27kms south of Porto Cristo - home to the spectacular Cuevas del Drach (Dragon Caves) and Lake Martel - one of the largest underground lakes in the world.
Cala d'Or is a fairly relaxed resort attracting people of all ages who come to experience a more authentic holiday away from the mass tourist resorts near Palma. Not to be missed is a trip to the pretty fishing town of Cala Figuera which gets very busy during the summer but is worth the trip and its only 15 minutes drive from Cala d'Or.
