Cala Millor

Cala Millor is a modern, purpose-built holiday resort with all the facilities for a great stay and is the largest resort on the east coast of Mallorca. Most of the resorts along the rugged east coast have evolved around small inlets and coves.  However, this is not really the case with Cala Millor, whose name means in English ‘better bay’ and this is for an obvious reason.

Cala Millor is in a large natural bay and the beach is by far the biggest on the east coast of Mallorca at around 1.7km/1mile in length. The beach is spacious with plenty of fine light sand. It is also good for children and wading as the sea doesn’t get too deep too quickly.  Additionally, the beach was also awarded a Blue Flag for facilities and cleanliness in 2024.

There is a wide variety of watersports – all that tourists would want for on a summer holiday, e.g. jet skiing, paddle boarding, canoeing, parasailing, SCUBA, and more.

Cala Millor’s beach is separated from Cala Bona’s beaches to the north by a rocky stint of coast that runs for about 700 m, however, the promenade continues there.  Cala Bona is worth checking out, offering a pretty harbour to walk around and tranquil beaches.  The beaches there were created with man-made sea defences and they form three mini bays.  However, even combined they are not as sandy or as long as Cala Millor’s beach.

The promenade is one of the good things about Cala Millor. It runs the length of the beach and connects Cala Bona to Cala Millor.  It is a pedestrian zone and seems like an actual street being backed by many shops, bars, cafes and restaurants.  There is also a smooth cycle track along the length of the promenade which is ideal for cycling (four-wheeled family bikes are very popular), inline skating, or using a mobility scooter.

Cala Millor is predominantly a family resort but there is also a lot of nightlife for those looking for late-night bars and clubs.

Places of Interest

Punta de n’Amer

This headland at the south of the beach is an official nature reserve between Sa Coma and Cala Millor. This area is ideal for gentle and relatively small walks of a few km/miles.  There are great views of Mallorcan nature and panoramic views of the headland and either coast. There are well-established tracks to take which lead to and from Sa Coma in the south and also around the headland and to a central watchtower where it’s possible to climb up and even get refreshments.

Caves

These caves are not located by Cala Millor but are only around 15 minutes in a taxi.  Both cave complexes are close to Porto Cristo.

Caves of Drach (Coves del Drac)

This is the most famous cave complex in Mallorca and well worth a visit.  The caves are spectacular with a lot to see. There is a footpath which is approximately 1 km long.  This takes visitors to a subterranean lake where there is music, a lighting show, and a boat ride.  The opening times in winter are 10:45 am to 12:00 noon and summer 10 am to 5 pm.

Caves of Hams (Coves dels Hams)

The Coves dels Hams – fishhook caves – aren’t as big or as well-known as the caves of Drach but definitely worth a visit as they are amazing inside.  There is a subterranean lake with music, a lighting show and boats. The name refers to the formations, as many spikes appear as fishhooks. Opening times in winter are 10:30 am to 5:30 pm and in summer 10 am to 6 pm.
