Best coves in Cala d'Or

Cala d'Or's Essential Coves

Cala d'Or is defined by its collection of narrow, pine-fringed inlets known as 'calas.' This selection highlights the region's diverse shoreline, from the Blue Flag-rated Cala Gran and Cala Ferrera to the secluded, facility-free Cala Serena. Beyond the sandy beaches, the area features the 18th-century military fortification of Es Fortí, which originally guarded the marina entrance. These sheltered Mediterranean spots are characterized by shallow turquoise waters and fine white sand, offering varied environments for snorkeling and swimming.
