Cala Bona holidays

Cala Bona holidays take you to one of Majorca’s most relaxed resorts. Set on the east coast, this spot mixes waterfront dining with calm stretches of Mediterranean coastline to give you that classic Balearic Islands travel feeling.

Experience the laidback atmosphere of Cala Bona

If you’re after something a bit more traditional, Cala Bona still shows its fishing town roots with pride. Tucked away on the Majorcan east coast, it’s got all the Spanish rustic charm you could want – starting at the Son Severa market, where you can soak up the local chatter, before winding your way through the narrow winding streets of the pedestrianised town centre. Down by the Cala Bona harbour, the day’s catch shows up on the menus at waterfront restaurants – perfect for an al fresco meal by the harbour, watching boats bob about as your unofficial dinner entertainment.

The best sandy beaches in Cala Bona

If you’re heading for the coast, Cala Bona’s sandy beaches serve up a mix of soft stretches and little rocky coves tucked between the Mediterranean breakwaters. The calm swimming waters stay inviting pretty much all year round – we’re talking temps up to 25°C, depending on the season. Wander further along and you can link up with the Cala Millor promenade, where beachfront eateries line the walkway. And if you’re still around at dusk, the whole stretch turns into a dreamy spot for romantic sunset strolls, with the coastline melting into that golden‑hour pink.

Nightlife in Cala Bona

Cala Bona evening entertainment tends to orbit the waterfront, where you can settle in for harbourfront cocktails or linger over sea‑view dining. There are a few leisure activities dotted along the waterfront, too – think live music spots and bars to hop between. Or, if you do fancy something a bit more lively, you’re just a 15-minute walk away from the Cala Millor nightclubs. Visit during festival season in January, and you’ll catch local favourites like botifarrons – a traditional Balearic sausage, usually grilled and served on bread – and the fiery celebrations of the Fiesta of Sant Antoni, when the whole area turns into one big, tradition packed street party.

The best daytrips from Cala Bona

Cala Bona has some brilliant daytrips up its sleeve. The Caves of Drach excursions are a top pick – you’ll wander past dramatic Majorcan stalactites and echoing chambers. The Lake Martel underground concerts add to the magic, with musicians gliding past on boats in a torch-lit cavern. Closer to home, the Punta de n’Amer nature reserve is the go-to for Cala Bona coastal walks, where sandy paths weave through Balearic pine forests – and the sea views seem to stretch forever. Families can swap the sand for animals at the Safari Zoo in Sa Coma, or make a splash at Hidropark Alcudia’s wave pools and waterslides. And if gold’s your thing, you’ve got four golf clubs nearby.
