In Cala Millor, you can spend a wonderful beach holiday in a holiday apartment or holiday home. The place is located on the island of
Mallorca and is on the east coast. Cala Millor is 64 kilometers from
Palma de Mallorca and 17 kilometers from
Manacor - in the bay of
Son Servera. Vacationers usually arrive by plane at Mallorca Airport. From there, you can continue your journey by rental car, for example. There are numerous car rental companies at the airport. Tip: Book your rental car online in advance if possible. Alternatively, you can also take a taxi. Prices depend on the time of day. For the route to Cala Millor, you should expect to pay between 70 and 90 euros. However, sharing a shuttle bus with other guests can save you a lot of money. The bus makes several stops on the way to your dream destination, but prices are only around 20 euros, depending on the season. If you want to dive into island life immediately, you can also take public buses or trains towards your holiday accommodation. With bus line 1, you can get from the airport to Plaça España. At the train station there, you can take an intercity bus (line L412) to Cala Millor or a train to Manacor.

Unbeatable: 300 hours of sunshine a year for Mallorca
In Cala Millor, as on the whole island, there is a Mediterranean climate - moderate to subtropical. The island enjoys around 300 days of sunshine a year. Summers are hot, and winters are mild with temperatures between 11 and 17 degrees Celsius during the day. Rain mostly comes from the northwest and often falls in the heights of the Serra de Tramuntana. However, Calla Millor and the east coast receive little rainfall. Your holiday destination is a year-round popular destination for travelers who rent a finca, holiday home, or an apartment with modern amenities and a balcony from a private owner. However, water temperatures are only suitable for swimming from early summer. But: Many of the apartments or holiday homes have a swimming pool on offer, where you can also have fun outside of summer - ideal for a
holiday with a pool and sea view. Pure comfort!
Caves, Pirates, Fishermen
From Cala Millor, several exciting excursions are offered - including boat tours and island tours. A real attraction within the town is the old fishing port of Cala Bona. Here you can get to know Spain's and Mallorca's maritime tradition. In Carrer des Rafalet, you can see another highlight on the municipality's territory: Parròquia de Nostra Senyora dels Àngels, the parish church of Our Lady of the Angels. She is also the patron saint of Cala Millor. An interesting and beautiful hike can be taken from the Cala Nau bathing bay to the Castell on the Punta de n'Amer peninsula. The Castell is a large, restored watchtower built at the end of the 17th century. At that time, the island was still plagued by pirates. You can enter the tower via a drawbridge. A spiral staircase leads you to the viewing platform. From here, you have a fantastic view of the beaches, Mallorca, and the beautiful nature. Another excursion from your holiday home or apartment could take you to
Porto Cristo - a small fishing and port town in the east. A watchtower built in 1577 stands above a hidden cave! The Coves del Drach and Coves del Hams - the Dragon Caves and the Fishhook Caves - are also popular attractions in Mallorca. The Coves del Drac, or Dragon Caves, are a stalactite cave system on the east coast of the Spanish Balearic island of Mallorca. The caves, located in the Llevant region, have the largest underground lake in Europe. Cala Rajada, an older spelling is also Cala Ratjada, is a place on the Spanish Balearic island worth a visit.
A Box Seat at the End of the Season
If you want to spend an unforgettable stay in a holiday apartment or holiday home at a small price in Cala Millor, you should not miss the cultural highlights in the east of the island. In 1999, the Auditorium, Cala Millor's congress and cultural center, was opened. The building includes a large event hall for almost 500 spectators. Various events take place here regularly. Art exhibitions are also on the program in other rooms. It's worth considering extending your stay at the accommodation: On August 2nd of every year, it's "Nostra Senyora dels Àngels" in Cala Millor. This is a significant name in honor of the patron saint of the town. Another big festival takes place on the last weekend of September: the "Festes des Turista" (Tourist Festival). Various concerts, dance, or sports events showcase the island's full range. The event concludes with an impressive fireworks display on the shore. If you plan to rent a finca, you'll have a box seat for this spectacle.
Traditionally Hearty, Internationally Diverse
Numerous restaurants, bars, and cafes have settled in Cala Millor. You can also find excellent country-style cuisine just outside the area. Perhaps the best restaurant is the Michelin-starred "Bou." But the Osteria "Pane et Olio" is also very popular. Here you can get Italian specialties at reasonable prices. The "Tia Jass" restaurant is a bit more upscale. Paella, seafood, scallops - the menu is aimed at connoisseurs who can make themselves comfortable on the terrace. The many British tourists have shaped the atmosphere here. The "Cheers Bar" serves typical British dishes - with charming staff. Here, music videos are shown, and regular quiz events take place. Another highlight among the bars is the cocktail bar "Chaplin." This bar is nostalgically decorated in the style of silent films. Here you can enjoy cocktails and Spanish and international cuisine. Mallorca's traditional cuisine is rather hearty. Lamb, fish, and pork are regularly on the locals' menus. Tomatoes, zucchini, peppers, or eggplants from Mallorcan cultivation are also popular for preparation. The dishes are often spiced up with garlic or olive oil. You will also notice this in the supermarket if you shop for your apartment.
Award-winning and Protected Beach
The sandy beach of Cala Millor is famous far beyond the region. It is 1.8 kilometers long and up to 35 meters wide. This beautiful stretch has been awarded the Blue Flag. The Playa is characterized by fine, white sand, water sports offers, clean showers, comfortable loungers, and crystal-clear water. The sandy beach of the dream region is barrier-free and gently sloping. Perfect for the whole family, ideal for a
beach holiday. Part of the coast is also under nature protection. South of the beach, you will find the Castel d'Amer peninsula with its old watchtower. The sea view from there will delight even small children. The town of
Can Picafort is also worth a trip with the whole family. The number one attraction is the beach - with bustling but pleasant activities all around. Another family highlight is the "Reserva Africana" Sa Coma Safari Zoo. A train takes you through the facility on a tour where you can observe giraffes, wildebeests, or zebras. Even more exotic residents, like tigers and elephants, have found accommodation here. Families get their money's worth on Mallorca's east coast. If you rent an inexpensive holiday home or apartment from a private owner near the beach, you can explore the fantastic sea and the most beautiful bays in the region.
Underground and on the Sea
There are several holiday homes, apartments, and fincas in prime locations near the coast. If you find accommodation here, you will have the biggest highlights right on your doorstep. Arenal de Son Servera is the northernmost beach of the town. Children and non-swimmers will particularly enjoy it here, as the waves are not too high. The beach is 400 meters long and is characterized by particularly fine sand. Various restaurants line this section. In the south, you will find the Cala Nau bathing bay - with a partly untouched area. From here, it's only a few steps to the nearest restaurants, bars, and cafes. Do you need a change from the sandy beach, pool, finca, and water? We recommend a trip to
Campanet with its impressive caves. They extend over 3,000 square meters and are up to 300 meters deep. The stalactites and stalagmites of these caves are among the great sights in eastern Mallorca.
