Overview: The relaxed and quiet purpose-built holiday resort of Calas de Mallorca is in the centre of the east coast of the island, close to the towns of Manacor and Felanitx. The resort is set on a cliff top and is therefore not ideal for those with disabilities or for the elderly, but does have lovely views and good beaches, and is popular with families with small children. Playa Domingos is the principal beach and offers warm, crystal clear water that is perfect for snorkelling; the water can, however, get quite rough at times. The town itself offers a number of bars and restaurants, supermarkets, a few discos, and tourist-orientated shops selling the usual collection of souvenirs, jewellery and leather. Those tired of exploring these on foot can hop on the 'tourists train' that loops through the resort streets. Much of the entertainment in Calas de Mallorca is offered by the hotels, and many choose to relax within the confines of their hotel complex. For the more adventurous, hiring a car is an excellent way to explore the coastline and neighbouring areas, and is more reliable than the local bus service. Neighbouring attractions include the Majorca Pearl factory in Manacor, the Caves of Drach, a small aquarium and several fun parks.

Restaurants: Calas de Mallorca has great restaurants for holidaymakers to enjoy, the best of which are C'an Gusti, Cosme Oliver Pila, Explotaciones Hoteleras Edama and Jose Noguera Julia.

Activities

Castell d’Alaro: Mallorca’s most popular hiking trail is the climb from the town of Alaro up to a ruined castle and hilltop chapel, which offers panoramic views of the sea and plains as far as Palma. From Alaro the walk takes about two hours to complete. The castle ruins on the hilltop date from the 15th century and dominate the landscape. At the summit there is a restaurant and bar to refresh weary climbers. On Sundays the trail becomes rather busy.
