What's it really like ? Transfer time: Approx 60 minutes Location: Calas de Mallorca is a modern, purpose-built resort and therefore lacks a bit of character. The town is perched high on a clifftop, making the larger hotels which dominate the centre seem even more imposing. However, you could go a lot further and fare a lot worse, especially if you like peace and quiet. Beaches: Although the main beach is quite a hike for most visitors, it's worth it - the sand is fine, and the sea is crystal clear. It is a tiny cove though, so at peak times you will struggle to find room for a pocket hankerchief, never mind a towel ! Watersports available.
Days Out: Limited entertainment so most of the action is centred around the small coves that make up Calas de Mallorca. There's a footpath along the clifftops which offers some dramatic views. The choice of shops isn't extensive, although you will find everything you need. A tropical bird sanctuary and small zoo are close by. Nights Out: Once the sun goes down people tend to head for the commercial centres which offer a fair choice of restaurants, etc - some provide 'live' music. There's dancing at one or two clubs. Bucket and Spade Brigade: If your kids don't mind the walk they'll love the beach. The clean sand, shallow water plus some nearby caves to explore make it a mecca. To combat boredom in the evenings the resort offers a funfair and a few amusement arcades. Someone also thoughtfully built a playground close to some of the quieter bars where parents can keep a watchful eye. |
