Cala Millor is one of the island’s fantastic and large beaches
The largest of eight beaches in the region, this beach spans over a kilometre in length and is approximately 30 metres wide. Whilst it’s fairly busy during the summer months, if you can visit during their ‘off-season’, you’ll find a generous white sand beach with beautiful turquoise water.
A pedestrianised promenade runs behind the beach, facilitating access and adjoining neighbouring resorts Cala Bona and Sa Coma. Full of Palm trees, generously laid out and well-kept green areas, and ‘instagrammable’ sculptures, the long promenade becomes very busy during the summer months.
Popular with German, Scandinavian and British tourists, the resort hosts an excellent selection of bars, restaurants and shops, and water sports, making this beach spot especially great for families . Also located in central Cala Millor is ‘Fantasy Park’ offering a variety of activities for children, with everything for children including bouncy castles mini boat trips.
Cala Millor is Mallorca’s largest resort on the eastern coast and offers several events and activities to keep you entertained. Every Monday, the Carrer de l’Eucapliptus transforms into a colourful and vibrant market street, with regional suppliers offering their harvests, art, fashion and more creative talents. You’ll find both the locals and the tourists strolling through here, collecting souvenirs; jewellery; celebratory gifts; and of course, their weekly fruit and veg. Enjoy seasonal tasters whilst you shop, and the local street musicians playing beautifully on the side. The market runs from March until October every Monday from 09.30am and is worth a visit.
Restaurants
Restaurants, cafes, and bars line the town’s seafront promenade, until you reach neighbouring town, Cala Bona. Countless terraces spill onto the promenade, using the wide space to bottle the atmosphere. Offering food and drinks, beer and cocktails, burgers and paella… there is something on offer for absolutely everyone.
Nightlife
Whilst the east coast of Mallorca isn’t usually renowned for its late-night partying, tourist resorts such as Cala Millor and neighbouring Cala Bona, offer their fair share of no-frill tavernas and chiringuito style bars, plus the odd discotheque from April until October.
If you’re visiting in the last week of September, Cala Millor Bay is the backdrop to a spectacular firework display during Mallorca’s annual ‘Tourist Festival’.
Hotels
Found alongside the iconic palm trees, the seafront is lined with a selection of hotels equipped to include everyone, from the more luxurious to family-friendly of clientele. Gastronomy, infrastructure, and a huge selection of leisure activities, easily compliment the extensive accommodation options.

Cala Millor has been one of Mallorca’s most treasured and visited beaches since the 1930s. Located between Costa dels Pins and the protected rocky headland of Sa Punta de n’Amer, it’s extensive stretch of sand cocoons the bay in an area of exceptional and scenic beauty, (with the latter declared as a natural area of special interest, you’d be wise to further explore this coastline if you have the chance).

It has all the facilities you could need - sun loungers and parasols to hire, showers and toilets, ramps and reserved parking for the disabled, as well as lifeguards on duty with a first aid station and a rescue launch. At times waves can be sizeable due to the open nature of the bay and make sure you stay aware of less visible undercurrents which aren’t always well marked when present. Buoys mark the channel and clearly separate bathing areas.
The beach is characterised by fine, white sand, perfect for sunbathing and beach games. Their ‘Blue Flag Status’ guarantees optimum conditions, excellent beach quality and helps to promote the area as a first-class holiday destination.
Several free sports activities such as volleyball, football, badminton and beach tennis are available during the high season, as well as other environmental, leisure and cultural activities aimed especially at young children and families. In the summer months, you can go jet skiing, banana boating, paddle surfing, wind surfing and parasailing.
