Travel guide Cala Murada
Reach Your Island in Just a Few Hours
The small holiday resort of Cala Murada is located on the east coast of Mallorca, between Porto Cristo and Cala d'Or. Cala Murada (Cala means bay in Spanish) was a former fishing port. About 20 kilometers north of the inland lies the municipality's capital,
Manacor. It is the lively center of East Mallorca. The journey to your holiday apartment or private holiday home in Cala Murada is straightforward. This is because there are multiple daily flight connections from all major airports in Germany to Mallorca. The flight time is about two hours. At the airport of the island's capital, Palma de Mallorca, you will find numerous car rental agencies directly in the terminal. From the airport, follow the MA-19 motorway towards Llucmajor and Campos. From there, continue straight on to Felanitx and over the Ma-4010 to Porto Colom. Just before the town, turn left towards
Porto Cristo, and shortly after, turn right down to the sea and your house in Cala Murada.
Mallorca's East Coast – Sun, Beach, and Sea
What's the weather like in Mallorca? Clearly: it's better than in Germany on most days of the year. This means it's sunny and pleasantly mild, sometimes scorching hot during summer. Your holiday apartment or holiday home in Cala Murada is located in one of the sunniest corners of the island. The average annual temperature is 18 °C. Cala Murada is located on the border between Llevant (Mallorca's east) and Migjorn (Mallorca's south), the island's least rainy region. There are numerous beaches around Cala Murada, making it perfect for a beach holiday. The water temperature in high summer rises to over 25 °C, and the air temperature rises to well over 30° C. If you prefer to explore the hinterland of Mallorca, spring and autumn are the best times. The coldest months are from January to March. During this time, the temperature at night can drop to 5 °C.
Your Holiday in a Villa with a Pool
Cala Murada is a small settlement that stands in place of a tiny fishing village. Gradually, villas, fincas, and holiday apartments with all amenities such as pools and Wi-Fi have been developed and are highly appreciated by those seeking peace and quiet. The most significant attraction of Cala Murada is its location amidst a green oasis of fig, almond, and orange trees. The Cala itself is small but beautiful: a fine golden sandy beach that gently slopes into crystal-clear seawater. Deeply carved into the rocky coast, it offers excellent protection from stormy winds that sometimes cause heavy waves elsewhere in Mallorca. A picturesque small stream winds its way to the bay, where it forms a tiny lake and completes the romantic impression created by the fincas and villas of Cala Murada. Beautiful coastal towns close to Cala Murada include Cales de Mallorca and Cala Tropicana.
Mallorca's Festivals: Lots of Culture and Music
Cala Murada is a tranquil spot that offers 100% relaxation from stressful everyday life. Plenty of cultural events can be found in the larger neighboring towns. Porto Colom is known for its gastronomic events, held at numerous first-class restaurants in town. The Rockin Matxín Festival with many local bands in June is especially popular. On the last weekend of July, the whole of Mallorca celebrates the festival of Sant Jaume (St. James). In Porto Colom, it is observed with a communal dinner by the city beach followed by a fireworks display. If you are interested in contemporary art, don't miss the Islandarte, the international biennial for independent contemporary art in Palma de Mallorca, held at the end of September. Over 50 exhibitors from nine countries present contemporary art in the magnificent exhibition space of the Coliseo Balear.
Delicious and Unique: Mallorca's Cuisine
All Balearic Islands have their own specialties, but Mallorca offers the largest selection of unique dishes and wines. These delicacies are not as well-known as typical Spanish dishes, which is a pity. From your affordable holiday home in Cala Murada, it's just a few steps to the nearest restaurant serving some of these Mallorcan delights. More romantic restaurants with sea views can be found in neighboring towns, particularly offering seafood and fish specialties. For a taste of real traditional specialties, which can vary in modern refinement depending on the kitchen, you should visit the rural restaurants. There, you can try delicious Mallorcan suckling pigs (porçella), Frito Mallorquín – a type of meat stew with offal and liver – and Arroz brut with snails (caracoles) or pork sausage (sobrasada).

Cycling and Hiking to Monasteries and Wineries

The so-called Dragon Cave in Porto Cristo is almost just a stone's throw away from your rented house or private holiday apartment in Cala Murada.
A trip to
Felanitx and Manacor in the country's interior is quickly organized and offers numerous sightseeing opportunities and beautiful shopping facilities. Felanitx enchants visitors with its charming stone houses, narrow streets, and hidden squares. The town is known for its excellent wines and ceramic products. The imposing 16th-century San Miguel church is worth a visit, as its interior features a monument commemorating the victims who died when the church collapsed.
