Mallorcalandia located at the end of the Cala Ferrara strip is the perfect destination for smaller children, it has a range of toddler friendly activities from trampolines to a children’s train that goes slowly around the centre. There is even an outside area with a bar so that adults can keep a watchful eye on their children whilst enjoying an ice cold Mallorcan beer.
Glass Bottomed Boats
The glass bottomed boats that leave Cala D’or on a daily basis are the perfect way to introduce your children to the fish and other sea creatures that live under the ocean. Your child will certainly learn a lot on their Cala D’or villa holiday as the friendly guide points out schools of fish and peaceful basking sharks whilst teaching them about Mallorcan marine life; this certainly makes for an interesting game of I Spy on your Cala D’or villa holiday.
Fiesta of La Mare de Deu del Mar
It would be a shame to go to Cala D’or on a villa holiday and miss the biggest party of the year. So if you’re renting a villa in Cala D’or over the school holidays then try and arrange it around August 15th when the Fiesta of La Mare de Deu del Mar takes place. The name roughly translates to the ‘fiesta of the lady of the sea’, and as a quintessential fishing village this festival is one of the most important to the local population. The highlight of the fiesta is the maritime procession around the harbour, although there are always plenty of musical and sporting events as part of the celebrations.
Cycling
Whilst on your Cala D’or villa holiday why not arrange a family cycling excursion? The destination has always been popular with cyclists and there are plenty of routes for you and your family to choose from. Novices may find the mountains on the east of the island a little too hard but the garden valley route at S’Horta is a popular tour finishing with a picnic at the secluded Porto C’om beach.
Hiring a Yacht
One of the most well known places in Cala D’or is the expensive marina at Cala Llonga where millionaires often moor their expensive yachts and boutique stores decorate the pavements. If you consider yourself an amateur yachtsman then this is the perfect place to hire a yacht and crew for the day. The Vita Bel is a beautifully elegant yacht that has appeared on the television programme ‘Passport to the Sun’ on numerous occasions. Hire her for the day whilst on your luxury Cala D’or villa holiday and you can enjoy glasses of Spanish cava after swimming around secluded caves and visiting normally unreachable beaches.
Caves of Drach
These spectacular caves are located just a short drive away from Cala D’or on the eastern coast of the island. They are considered one of the island’s most important tourist attractions and their ethereal beauty will appeal to people of all ages on their Cala D’or Villa holidays. The caves are over 2,400 metres long and have a depth of 25 metres below the surface, making them very special when compared to other caves. There is also a large subterranean lake in the middle of these caves, considered to be one of the largest in the world and in this stunning setting classical music concerts take place providing the perfect ending to your luxury villa holiday in Cala D’Or.
