Cala Bona holidays

Holidays to Cala Bona take you to one of Majorca's relaxed resorts. They're all about laidback dinners and lazing on the little beaches.

Laidback atmosphere

Set on Majorca’s east coast, Cala Bona's a relaxed fishing town that comes with plenty of Spain's rustic charm. Fishermen bring in the day’s catch at the harbour, ready for lunch at the waterfront restaurants, while the original winding streets are ripe for exploring. There’s also a pedestrianised modern centre with shops and bars, and a choice of little sandy beaches.

Sandy beaches

Cala Bona’s beach is a patchwork of small sandy spots divided up by manmade rocky coves and breakwaters. From here to neighbouring Cala Millor, you’ve got around two kilometres to play with, plus a promenade filled with shops, bars and eateries runs between the two resorts. As for the water, it’s nice and calm – although you’ll need to watch out for the rocks when you’re getting in.

Easy-going nights

Cala Bona isn’t a boisterous resort, so you won’t find neon lights and late-night clubs. What you will get is leisurely meals at the harbourfront restaurants and cocktails overlooking the sea. Quiz nights and karaoke count as lively here – though a 15-minute walk to Cala Millor will bring you pacier clubs and discos.

Daytrips to the Caves of Drach

You’re just 20 minutes' drive from one of Majorca’s biggest tourist draws – the famous Caves of Drach. Here, you can see colourful stalagmites and stalactites and take in a concert at one of the world’s biggest underground lakes. And even closer, just outside the resort, there’s the Punta de n’Amer nature reserve – the dunes and pine forests are perfect for walks.
