The relaxed and quiet purpose-built 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.
