Cala Bona Holidays

Cala Bona is a relaxed resort on Majorca’s east coast, known for its pretty harbour, seafront promenade and easy-going holiday atmosphere. It began as a small fishing village, and the harbour is still the heart of the resort, with boats, waterfront cafés and restaurants creating a pleasant setting for slow lunches and evening meals.

The resort suits holidaymakers who want a quieter base rather than a busy party destination. Days tend to centre on the seafront, with a long promenade linking Cala Bona with neighbouring Cala Millor. It is a lovely route for a stroll, a gentle cycle or a walk to a wider choice of shops, bars and a larger sandy beach. Cala Bona itself has small beach areas and sheltered coves, some with sand and rocky sections, so it is fine for a relaxed dip or a few hours by the water. For a more traditional beach day, many visitors head along the promenade to Cala Millor’s long sandy bay.

Eating out is one of Cala Bona’s main pleasures. Around the harbour and seafront you will find a good choice of restaurants serving Mediterranean dishes, seafood, tapas, pizza and familiar British favourites. The atmosphere in the evening is sociable but generally low-key, with terrace bars, hotel entertainment and occasional live music rather than late-night clubbing. Those wanting a livelier night can usually find more options in nearby Cala Millor.

Popular things to do include boat trips from the harbour, coastal walks, cycling and exploring nearby resorts along the east coast. The Punta de n’Amer nature reserve, between Cala Millor and Sa Coma, is a good option for a scenic walk with sea views. Further afield, Porto Cristo and the Caves of Drach, the old town of Artà and Capdepera Castle are all popular day trips from this part of Majorca.

Cala Bona is a good choice for couples, families and older travellers looking for a friendly resort with a scenic harbour, useful amenities and easy access to beaches and excursions without feeling too hectic.
