The elegant resort of Cala d'Or is located on the southeastern coast of blooming Mallorca (Spain, Illes Balears region), in the municipality of Santanyi. The typical local landscape is picturesque coves with fine sandy beaches and crystal clear turquoise water, safely protected from strong winds and searing sun by pine forests.
The nearest town Santani is 5 km from Cala d'Or, the capital of the island - Palma de Mallorca - 65 km away. The population of Cala d'Or is about 2500 people, the national currency is euro (EUR).
Today Cala d'Or, founded in the 1930s as a fishing village with a patriarchal way of life and Ibiza-style buildings, is one of the largest resorts in Majorca.
The idea of building the village, as well as its realization, belongs entirely to the architect Pep Costa Ferrer. The white-washed cubic-shaped buildings he created have been transformed into modern apart-hotels and magnificent hotel complexes, while the narrow cobbled streets are lined with souvenir shops, restaurants and pubs.
The real attraction of Cala d'Or are the classic Mediterranean villas with carved wickets. From this point of view, the town resembles a glittering Santorini.
