Imagine that you are within three hours on the white beaches, on one of the most beautiful bays on the island of Mallorca. This is possible in Cala Millor, which is located on the east side of Mallorca. With its 850 meters long and 40 meters wide beach, Cala Millor is certainly not the largest town in Mallorca, but it is one of the nicest and quietest. The many terraces, the boulevard full of shops, boat trips, (water) sports opportunities and the walking and nature reserve are certainly worth a holiday. Cala Millor has long been a favorite among Western European tourists. Do you want a quiet holiday, but still plenty of fun activities? Then you are at the right place at Cala Millor!
