Cala Bona holidays

Cala Bona is a delightful place to be, but if you like to explore it also puts you in a good spot for day trips.

On Majorca's peaceful east coast, Cala Bona is a fantastic destination for families who like to mix relaxation with day trips and activities on their holidays.

Cala Bona holidays start when you touch down in the island's main airport of Palma de Mallorca (PMI). And on arriving in resort, the first thing most holidaymakers want to do is head for Cala Bona's delightful and welcoming beach, which has small coves on either side that are perfect for privacy. Shoppers, meanwhile, will make a beeline for the small outlets that hide among the restaurants in the back streets, where there are plenty of opportunities to pick up souvenirs at low prices.

If you want to see more of Majorca during your holidays in Cala Bona, you can also head off for the day to some of the bigger tourist areas such as Cala Millor, 10 minutes down the road. For adventurous days out, Soller, in the Serra de Tramunta mountain range, and the seaside town of Alcudia in the north-west of the island are also great - and easily reached if you take advantage of the cheap car hire deals at the airport.

But whatever you do during the day, dusk is the time to head for one of Cala Bona's many restaurants, most of which specialise in fish (unsurprisingly in a working fishing village) and welcome diners of all ages. For after-dinner fun, head to the larger hotels and seafront bars to see if there is any live music on.
