Cala d Or
The beautiful South East Coast, from Porto Cristo to Cala Santanyi, is almost
entirely composed of tiny, sheltered cove beaches and Cala d'Or has grown around
some of the prettiest of these. There are still others to find nearby such as
Cala Mondrago and S'Amarador which are virtually untouched by development. The
Cala d'Or area is not new to tourism but has retained an attractive and well
cared for holiday atmosphere. The paved, pedestrianised streets in the centre of
Cala d'Or are brimming with lively, shops, good restaurants and pavement cafes.
There is also a sophisticated marina with fabulous yachts and many excellent
restaurants. Further inland are towns and villages which also have their charms.
Calonge, is pretty, with many art and craft shops hidden away in its tiny
streets.

Cala San Vicente
Separated from Puerto Pollensa by the distinctive 'Cavall Bernat' mountain, much loved by artists, Cala San Vicente nestles at the foot of a beautiful pine clad valley which leads down to two sandy cove beaches. There are just a few shops, cafes and restaurants grouped around the two bays which are separated by a rocky headland and surrounded by dramatic mountain scenery.The whole setting must surely be one of the most pleasant and peaceful in the whole of Majorca and the locals will make you feel instantly at home. A five minute drive takes you to Puerto Pollensa in one direction and the beautiful, historic Old Town of Pollensa in the other.

Puerto Pollensa
Puerto Pollensa has become a popular destination for the discerning traveller in recent years as it has retained its unspoilt intrinsic charm and character from the days when it was a small fishing village. You'll find a wealth of locally owned bars, cafes, restaurants and shops chiefly grouped around the marina, with beautiful views across the wide, sheltered bay. There is a long, sandy beach and a pretty 'Pine Walk' stretching from the marina along the seafront to the Hotel Illa d'Or at the far north of the resort. If you like dining out you have certainly chosen the right place. The numerous restaurants serve a wide variety of local, national and international cuisine at prices to suit all pockets. Families can relax in the knowledge that children are more than welcome in most establishments. For night owls there are a couple of small nightclubs and music bars. Sporting activities include tennis, sailing, water skiing, windsurfing and horse riding, plus a nine hole golf course near the Old Town of Pollensa. The Old Town town itself deserves a visit, with its narrow cobbled streets, pretty squares and old world architecture. Incidentally, the area between the old town and Puerto Pollensa is where most of our villas are to be found, and ideal country for exploring whether on bicycle or on foot, with delightful scenery and stunning views
