My General Interests :)

Cala Bona and its close neighbour Cala Millor are situated on the east coast of the Baleric island of Majorca. These resorts are just a 5 minute taxi ride or a 20 minute walk if you prefer the exercise. The third main resort to consider in this area is Sa Coma Majorca which very often offers less expensive holidays than the other resorts.

A lot resorts in Majorca are dominated by either British or German tourists. Cala Bona Mallorca is very much a British favourite while Cala Millor is a little unusual as a mixed resort where both English and German tourists visit in large numbers. Cala Bona is certainly the quieter of the two resorts making it ideal for young families. In Cala Bona the majority of the entertainment is based in local hotels. Cala Bona is probably not for those wanting to visit pubs and clubs but Cala Millor is the place for night life and as of course is only a 5 minute taxi ride or 20 minutes walk away.

Cala Bona has grown from a tiny Spanish fishing village into an important resort on Majorca’s quieter east coast. The original character of Cala Bona is shown as the resort retains a number of the original narrow streets. The harbour is the focal point of the resort of Cala Bona. The harbour has been refurbished recently and now offers a selection of harbourside cafes, watering holes and eateries. Several local tourist excursions are available at the harbour.

Cala Bona features a number of smallish sandy beaches enclosed between breakwaters forming calm, sheltered waters ideal for swimming and paddling in relative safety. Over recent years the breakwaters seem to have formed a natural trap for seaweed to gather both in the water and on the beach. The local council have started to deal with this problem by regular removal of the seaweed to avoid a build up. The beaches of Cala Bona are now generally in fine fettle thanks to thanks to the local council.
