Cala D’or Mallorca 2024

A tennis bootcamp bookended with a night in Palma and 6 days in Cala D’or…

  • Hotel Fenix is in S’Arenal, if you want to stay around but not in Palma. 15 minutes and €24 by taxi from the hotel. It’s just somewhere we had found before so stuck with what we knew. Straightforward €70 or so a night B&B
  • Then it’s off to the tennis/cycling
  • Cala D’or beachfront apartment with a pool and private access to the Cala Gran beach from Florence@avf-calador.com
  • A 25 minute busy bus trip to the Santanyi Market on Wednesdays and Saturdays
  • A bus from Cala Esmerelda to the delightful beaches of Portocolom
  • The excellent Botavara fish restaurant in the marina
  • A walk to the headland at es Forti takes an hour or so from the centre, though check for opening times.
  • All the coves and beaches to visit by Yellow or Green “land train”
  • Transport with TIB public transport, but Taxi for 4 is excellent value from Cala Ratjada to Cala D’or was €69, and then from Cala D’or to the airport €75.
  • We played Padel for €11 with rackets to hire for €5 and a tube of balls for €6 at the Pistes Municipals de Padel Cala d’Or, but worth ringing first to check one of the three courts they have is available.
  • Fun and queues at Bristol airport getting passports checked and the bus to Silver Parking
