The chic resort of Cala d'Or lies on the south east coast of Majorca. Transfers will take around 1-1 ½ hours. Cala d'Or today is a modern purpose built resort that has grown from an original Mallorcan fishing village. The resort has now spread over approx 4km of small nearby sandy coves and creeks. Although in all fairness, the town still has the feeling of a small village and has few, if any, high rise buildings. 

The largest of these coves is called Cala Llonga, which has been developed into a large marina that effectively splits the resort in two. The focal point of the town centre is a pedestrian zone around the area Cala Gran, which has a varied selection of shops, bars and restaurant.

The beach at Cala Gran is the largest in the town Near here is Cala d'Or itself, from which the resort takes its name. Sun loungers, parasols and pedaloes can be hired at both of these beaches, and also at nearby Cala Mondrago. In addition to the above there are around 8 or 9 other smaller sandy coves offering water sports available at reasonable rates. 

If Cala d'Or's beaches get too crowded, take the morning bus to Es Trenc. This beautiful beach of clear blue water and golden sand, backed by pine trees and dunes, stretches for almost 5km along the wild south eastern shore. There's a small bar-restaurant here and you can hire sun umbrellas, but there are few other facilities and the beach rarely gets packed with bodies. Be warned though, Es Trenc is popular with nudists and the bodies that you do see are likely to be bare.
