Stunning Cala Bona, Cala Millor and Sa Coma in Majorca
The resort of Cala Bona and the adjacent resort of Cala Millor are positioned on the eastern coast of the Baleric island of Majorca. The two resorts are separated by a 5 minute taxi fare or 20 minutes walk if you prefer the exercise. The third resort around in these parts is Sa Coma which very often offers less expensive holidays than Cala Bona.
Many holiday destinations in Majorca are dominated by either British or German holidaymakers. Cala Bona is very much a British resort while Cala Millor is a little unusual as a mixed holiday town where both English and German tourists frequent in force. Cala Bona is definitely the quieter of the two resorts making it ideal for young families. In Cala Bona most of the evening entertainment is based in hotels. Cala Bona is probably not for tourists seeking to visit pubs and clubs but Cala Millor offers plenty of night life and as of course is only a 5 minute taxi ride or 20 minutes walk away.
Cala Bona has grown from a small traditional fishing village into an important resort on Majorca’s quieter east coast. The original charm of Cala Bona is shown as the resort has many 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 open air cafes, watering holes and restaurants. Several Cala Bona tourist excursions can be booked from the harbour.
Cala Bona features a series of smallish sandy beaches enclosed between artificial breakwaters forming calm, sheltered waters ideal for swimming and paddling in relative safety. Over recent years the breakwaters seem to have formed a trap for the local seaweed to gather both in the water and on the beach. The local council have been actively managing this problem by regular removal of the seaweed and hence avoiding a build up. Cala Bona’s beaches are now usually in fine fettle because of the council’s efforts.
