Visit Cala Bona in Eastern Mallorca
Filed Under Uncategorized
Cala Bona and the neighbouring resort of Cala Millor are located on the east coast of the Baleric island of Majorca. The two resorts are just a 5 minute taxi ride or a 20 minute walk for the health conscious. Several resorts in Majorca are focused on either British or German tourists. Cala Bona is very much a British resort while Cala Millor is a little different as a mixed destination in that both English and German tourists flock to in numbers. Cala Bona is definitely the quieter of the two resorts making it ideal for young families. In Cala Bona the bulk of the entertainment takes part in local hotels. Cala Bona is not recommended for those looking to taking in a lot of pubs and clubs but Cala Millor offers plenty of night life and as previously mentioned is only a 5 minute taxi fare or 20 minutes walk away.
Cala Bona has grown from a small Spanish fishing village into a bustling tourist resort on Majorca’s less developed east coast. The original character of Cala Bona is shown as the resort still has several original narrow streets. The harbour is the liveliest part of the resort of Cala Bona. The harbour has been refurbished recently and now offers a range of al fresco cafes, watering holes and eateries. A number of local tourist excursions are available by the harbour.
Cala Bona offers a few small sandy beaches sheltered by man made rocky breakwaters forming calm, sheltered waters ideal for swimming and paddling in relative safety. Over the last few years the lagoons seem to have formed a natural trap for seaweed to gather both in the water and on the beach. Son Severa council have been actively managing this problem by undertaking a seaweed removal program to circumvent the problem. Cala Bona’s lovely beaches are now generally much improved thanks to the council’s efforts.
Coach transfers from Palma de Mallorca airport typically takes about 2 hours to the resorts of Cala Bona or Cala Millor. Car rental from Cala Bona or from Palma Airport is usually quite cheap in comparison against most other holiday hotspots. If you plan to rent a car from the airport think about getting a map of Majorca before you leave.
