Cala Millor Holidays

Q: Are there nature walks near Cala Millor?

The Punta de n’Amer nature park lies to the south of Cala Millor. It’s a beautiful peninsula, complete with a crumbling 17th-century fortress. The 200 hectares include dunes, scrubland and pine groves, creating an intriguing blend of flora and fauna. If you drive inland from Cala Millor for 20 minutes, you’re in the Serres de Llevant area. These mountains have trails that take anything from a few hours to a week of trekking to complete. While much of Majorca’s coastline is studded with hotels and apartment blocks, inland it is bursting with nature and beauty waiting for you to explore.

Q: When’s a good time to go to Cala Millor?

For guaranteed sunshine and calm sea, you can’t beat the months of July and August. If you want to avoid the crowds, the sun and sea are still warm in autumn.

Q: Is there a market in Cala Millor?

You can visit a small seasonal market in Cala Millor from March to October but you can find some popular local markets nearby, too. A 40-minute walk or a five-minute bus ride on a Friday morning to Son Servera is a good choice. It’s an authentic selection of locally crafted lace tablecloths and leather handbags. Buses can also take you to nearby Sineu, Inca and Arta markets on other weekdays and it’s worth visiting at least one for a glimpse of traditional Majorcan life.

Q: Is Cala Millor family-friendly?

This is one of Majorca’s most popular resort areas for families. The beaches are patrolled by lifeguards in the busy months and the water is shallow and warm. The soft sand is perfect for games of volleyball or constructing elaborate sandcastles. And you’re never far from a cafe or restaurant, many with English standards on the menu – ideal for young children who don’t want to explore foreign food. If you want a day without sand, Marineland is only an hour’s drive. It puts on regular dolphin and sea lion shows and has a huge aquarium.

Q: How long does it take to walk from Cala Bona to Cala Millor?

A beautiful promenade connects pretty Cala Bona with the beach at Cala Millor, and it’s just 15 minutes of flat, easy walking between the two. The promenade stretches along the Mediterranean and you'll discover cafes and restaurants the length of the short walk between the two towns. You'll have palm trees, a gentle breeze and the sparkling blue sea – a walk doesn’t get much better than that.

Q: How is the nightlife in Cala Millor?

Cala Millor’s collection of bars and clubs means you can have an enjoyable evening whether you fancy karaoke, a quiet drink or dancing all night.

Q: Is Cala Millor lively?

Cala Millor was essentially created for the tourist industry. While other corners of Majorca are packed with history, this beautiful beach is backed by hotels and facilities that have grown and developed since the 1930s. Many of the hotels have their own on-site entertainment but, step outside, and you’ll find restaurants, bars and clubs lining the streets. You should come here if you want lively nightlife. While it isn’t as wild as some corners of Majorca, you'll still find a fun, relaxed atmosphere.

Q: What are the beaches like near Cala Millor?

Eastern Majorca is known for its wide stretches of soft white sand. In addition to Cala Millor and Sa Coma, some charming smaller beaches are just as attractive and with all the facilities you could need. Porto Cristo is a pretty little fishing village set around a natural harbour. It’s a popular starting point for people looking to explore the caves and underground lakes. Further south still you can go to Cala Varques, a secluded beach hidden at the end of an inlet. Perfect for safe snorkelling, this is where couples retreat or families escape the busier beaches.

Family resort with beautiful beach

One of Majorca’s original holiday resorts, Cala Millor (meaning ‘Better Bay’) remains a quintessential spot on the island for a family-friendly beach break. Cala Millor holidays centre around the resort’s impressive Blue Flag-awarded beach, which stretches almost 2 kilometres along the east coast with swathes of white sand lapped by turquoise water.

A buzzy promenade snakes along the length of the beaches all the way up to the more sedate Cala Bona, while a long pedestrian street lined with numerous enticing bars, restaurants and shops takes you through the middle of the town. A short stroll to the south, nature lovers can ramble through a protected reserve and enjoy fabulous views along the scenic coast. Add in some laid-back nightlife and great leisure facilities, and it’s no surprise why so many families return for holidays to Cala Millor year after year.

Best things to do Beaches

Hit the surf
Cala Millor’s broad bay and calm waters are perfect for water sports, which range from the sedate, such as paddle boarding and pedalos, to the more daring parasailing and jet-skiing.
Head underground
Just a short drive away, you can find the Coves del Drach – the island’s most impressive cave formations that also feature one of the world’s largest underground lakes.
Go karting
You’ll find one of the island’s best go-karting tracks just outside the resort, where even kids as young as five years old can have a go tearing around the course.

Nat Geo Day Tour: The Valley of the Oranges
Nat Geo Day Tour: The Valley of the Oranges
1 review
Picturesque hills and aromatic citrus orchards best describe Sóller. From Palma de Mallorca, travel into the Serra de Tramontana mountains, where you'll discover this eye-catching town, nicknamed the 'Valley of Oranges'. Historically, Sóller was isolated from the rest of Mallorca due to its mountains, allowing the development of unique cultural and agricultural practices. Sóller's orange groves trace their roots back several centuries, introduced to the region by Arab settlers during the Spanish occupation. On this exclusive tour, you'll uncover the region's conservation initiatives with your National Geographic-trained guide, visiting the Balearic Museum of Natural Sciences for an exclusive audio-visual experience including photos illustrating the history of the orange groves and their impact on Sóller's local economy. After this, tour Sóller's citrus-infused Botanical Gardens, where you'll study the botanical properties of different citrus varieties, enjoy an exclusive visit to the seed bank and learn more about the museum's work to conserve the Balearic Islands' plant species, unique ecosystems and natural habitats. Finish with a cooking demo featuring a zesty dessert with a citrus tang. Next, discover Sóller's secrets on a guided walking tour, before stopping by Sa Fàbrica de Gelats, an ice cream Parlor featured in National Geographic España as one of the best spots for orange-flavoured gelato. Finish with some free time to explore at your leisure.

History meets scenery on this Tramuntana Mountains tour. You'll visit the honey-stone village of Valldemossa, explore handsome Soller town and enjoy the views on a vintage train ride through mountains and valleys. Xisco, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘The train is the pride of the people of Soller. Because their town was so hard to reach behind the mountains, they built the railway with their own money a century ago so they could be connected to Palma and export their famous oranges.'Kick off in Valldemossa, a cluster of stone houses tumbling from a ridge in the heart of the Tramuntana Mountains. You can either explore the village under your own steam or join a guided tour to learn more about its history and culture. Xisco adds, ‘My favourite street in Valldemossa is Carrer Rectoria, a narrow alley is lined with potted plants. Saint Catalina Thomas was born here, and her house is now a chapel.' Then it's on to Son Marroig for a guide tour of the ravishing Renaissance-style estate overlooking the sea.Next, we'll head to Soller, a busy town built by wealthy citrus fruit merchants. You'll have free time to explore, potter around the shops, pop into a church or two, or soak up the sun in an outdoor café. The day rolls to a close with a journey back in time on a wooden train inaugurated in 1912 and still in full working order today. This scenic ride weaves through the Sierra de Tramontanta to Son Reus, where you'll join the transfer back to base.

Take your pick from a variety of ways to visit Majorca's atmospheric capital, Palma. Explore the city at your own pace with our simple, hassle-free transport only option. Or, perhaps you would like to add a visit to the waterfront cathedral. To make the most of your day, you can pair a guided cathedral experience with a trip to the hilltop town of Valldemossa, too. Hugo, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘Palma Cathedral is astonishing. The apse's rose window alone contains more than 1,100 pieces of stained-glass – and was designed to align with the façade's rose window twice a year, on 2/2 and 11/11, to create the figure of 8.'How the day unfolds depends on the option you've selected. With our Palma free time ticket, you'll have a few hours to use as you choose. Shop in the city's chic boutiques and high street fashion stores, check out plazas lined with terrace cafés, or enjoy the plentiful supply of art galleries and museums. Add the sightseeing bus option if you want to roam free without the leg work.If you've opted for the Palma and Cathedral entrance ticket, you'll get to explore this vast Gothic masterpiece under your own steam. And if you're after the premium option, you'll get a guided tour of the cathedral, plus a visit to Valldemossa – an achingly pretty village strewn on a hill less than 30-minutes' drive from Palma. Hugo says, ‘Valldemossa is the essence of rural Majorca. Honey-hued stone houses with green shutters cluster around the belfry. Make sure to try the local potato cake, ‘coca', dipped in hot chocolate.'

This tour takes you to the heart of Majorca's wine country to sample the fruits of a small family-run winery. We'll head to the village of Santa Maria del Camí to visit Bodega Ramanyà for a guided tour, rounding off the experience with a typical Majorcan snack. Xisco, one of our local guides, says, ‘The family stands for rural Mallorca. They are very entertaining and will tell you all about the history of the island through their collection of farming artefacts.'During your journey to the grape-growing region of Binissalem, which is a Denomination of Origin, your expert guide will give you the lowdown on the island's wines. This terroir is situated near the foothills of the Tramuntana Mountains and, says Xisco, ‘the fertile earth and the sunny weather give the local wines a special taste'. By visiting a local family-run bodega, you'll be contributing to a fairer distribution of revenues – some of the biggest producers of Majorcan wine have vineyards nearby.As you tour the vineyards and winery, you'll learn about the grape varieties, their harvesting, ageing and bottling. You'll also be able to observe the family's collection of artefacts from yesteryear. These were used for the cultivation of the grapes and tilling of the land. Then, comes the best part – you'll sample three wines of your choice alongside a tapas-style snack made from locally sourced ingredients. Try breads, olive oils, cheeses, and more, all washed down with the cellar's own wines.

Guided Tour of Hams Caves with Dinosaurland Visit

As family outings in Majorca go, it's hard to beat this double-header to the Hams Caves and Dinosaurland. It's a spine-tingling and dramatic journey into the island's pre-history, where Genesis and Titanosaur will leave you open-mouthed. Marga, one of our local guides, says, ‘This tour really captures the imagination as you go from one of Majorca's oldest attractions, the 10-million-year-old Hams Caves, to one of the newest, the recently opened Dinosaurland.'The Hams Caves may be millions of years old, but they were discovered only last century. And since then, they've become one of the island's top attractions. As you explore the three main caves, you'll learn about the island's original inhabitants. The semi-open Round Cave, with its botanical vegetation, has a Jurassic feel to it – and whets your appetite for what's inside. In the Blue Cave, an audiovisual timelapse documentary called Genesis recounts the history of Majorca from the Big Bang to today. And the Classic Cave, which is a network of 12 chambers, is full of mystery. There's also a soothing Venetian-inspired music show.The mild gives way to the wild at Dinosaurland, where you'll walk among the more than 100 life-sized recreations of dinosaurs, including the mythical Titanosaurus, at more than 50m long. Some consider it to have been the largest species. The kids can also play at being palaeontologists, enjoy games and puzzles or try their hand at drawing. A great day out for the whole family.

Palma by night with optional guided tour or dinner

By day Palma is a medieval wonderland, by night it's a radiant hive of activity. You'll be taken to Majorca's elegant capital for an evening away from your resort. Browse designer stores, dine in trendy Santa Catalina or stroll on the city walls under the Gothic cathedral. Xisco, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘La Llotja is a 600-year-old medieval exchange. It's free to visit and you can follow its twisting Gothic columns as they wind their way to the ceiling. You can also spot a ‘spy box', where spotters would look down on the crowd to see if anyone was stealing.'Arriving Palma in the early evening, you'll have about five hours to spend in the capital. You can choose to have the evening to yourselves with five hours of free time to wander at your own pace and perhaps find a place to enjoy a meal. Alternatively, you could opt to join a guided tour of the historic city to get some local insight as you weave through the amospheric streets for around 90 minutes. If you decide to book the dinner option, you'll dine in the Cellar sa Premsa restaurant at 8pm.Most shops are open late so you can visit the boutiques and high street stores around the tree-lined boulevard of Passeig d'es Born, or browse for souvenirs near the cathedral, which glows in after-dark floodlighting. Palma is a city which stays up late, and many cultural attractions such as La Llotja and Es Baluard Modern Art Museum stay open until 8 or 9pm, so you can sightsee even on an evening visit.
