Located on yacht charter Mallorca’s northeastern part, Cala Millor is an out-of-the-way resort but still with impressive accommodation capacities, which have grown steadily over the last decades, proof that the resort does indeed have something to offer.
The name literally translates into “The Better Bay”, a reference to the neighboring resort of Cala Bona (The Good Bay) which is probably some competition among the local fishermen. Regardless of the name, the resort came to live on top of a local settlement after in 1933 a man by the name of Jaume Vicens Adreu saw its potential and built the first hotel in town – the Eureka.
Today, the resort boats some 16,000 beds in 61 hotels and an additional 65 self-service apartments. The major appeal is the intricate maze of caves and coves, typical of yacht charter Mallorca’s rocky eastern shore, which culminates with the 6 km long beach stretching in all its glory. For many, this is the best island on yacht charter Mallorca island so it’s definitely worth a trip.
Nearby, the resort of Cala Bona offers equally great sun bathing opportunities, as well as a chance for a day trip and can be easily reached since the two share a common promenade to the north. The more adventurous, can try to visit the nearby resorts of Sa Coma and S’Illot or the famous Caves of Drach.
There are good shops in town, but for a real shopping experience, check out one of the local market days, like the one in San Servera or the one in Manacor, where the local pearl industry is perfectly represented and can make up either for a lovely souvenir or for a nice gift for someone special back home.
Among all the resorts on the northeastern part of yacht charter Mallorca, Cala Millor is definitely the liveliest and with the best night life, so that many of the tourists from neighboring resorts come here after dark in search of fun. There are bars, clubs and karaoke joints for those looking for a night out on the town.
