Cala Bona and its close neighbour Cala Millor are situated on the east coast of the Baleric island of Majorca. The two resorts are separated by a 5 minute taxi ride or a 20 minute walk for those who enjoy fresh air. The third resort situated in the region is Sa Coma which frequently has cheaper holidays than other Majorcan resorts.

Many of the resorts in Majorca are aimed at either English or German holidaymakers. Cala Bona Mallorca itself is very much a British favourite while Cala Millor is a little different as a mixed destination in that both English and German tourists visit in force. Cala Bona is much the quieter of the two resorts making it ideal for young families. In Cala Bona the majority of the entertainment is based in local hotels. Cala Bona is certainly not for anyone looking to visit pubs and clubs but Cala Millor offers plenty of night life and as of course is only a 5 minute taxi fare or 20 minutes walk away.

Cala Bona has expanded from a small traditional fishing village into an important tourist resort on Majorca’s less developed east coast. The humble beginnings of Cala Bona is still visible as the resort has several narrow streets. The harbour is an interesting part of the resort of Cala Bona. The harbour has been redeveloped recently and now offers a selection of open air cafes, watering holes and restaurants. Several Cala Bona tourist excursions can be booked from the harbour.

Cala Bona includes a series of smallish sandy beaches sheltered by man made breakwaters forming calm, sheltered lagoons ideal for swimming and paddling in relative safety. Over the last few years the breakwaters seem to have encouraged for seaweed to build up both in the water and on the beach. Son Severa council have been proactive in dealing with this problem by regular removal of the seaweed to circumvent it accumulating. Cala Bona’s lovely beaches are now usually in fine fettle because of the maintenance program.
