The modern resort of Cala Millor (which translates into English as "the better bay") is on the islands rugged east coast, and is separated from its more quiet and traditional neighbour Cala Bona ("the good bay") by a small rocky headland. Coach transfer from the airport at Palma in the south will normally take around 2 hours to drive the 70km, but as with all airport transfers this may vary on the time of day or night of the journey.
Most of Majorcas east coast is dotted with tiny creeks and coves, however, the beach at Cala Millor stretches for more than 6km along a wide sheltered bay which is protected by two large unspoilt headlands.
The beach here is considered by many to be one of the best on the island, with clear water and gently sloping sands. Parasols and sun beds can be hired at various points along its length, along with the usual selection water sports activities, including a windsurfing school.
The resort has a good selection of shops, but in all fairness to the town, they do tend to lack any great variety in the range of products they each stock.
The nearby resort of Cala Bona can be easily reached by a walk along the new promenade, which effectively is now almost becoming part of the Cala Millor development. For the more adventurous the resort of Sa Coma is a further 3km beyond Cala Bona to the south.
Public transport along all of the east coast is limited so it may be worthwhile considering car hire, especially if you want to visit the nearby Caves of Drach and so avoiding the Tour Operators day trip charges.
Of the 3 resorts along this short stretch of coast, Cala Millor is without doubt the more lively and has a wide selection of bars and discos providing evening entertainment to supplement that provided by the hotels.
Cala Millor has a quite a wide appeal, but is perhaps more suited towards the traditional family market than those looking for all night clubs and foam parties.
