It was clear from our first visit that the owners have gone to great lengths to provide a well equipped, spacious, beautifully designed and furnished home away from home.
The location is just superb, with fine restaurants and shops nearby. We have stayed in many villas in Cala D'or over the past 15 years and this is by far our favourite.
It is situated in an unspoilt part of the town next to the old boat yards and reputedly, the oldest building in Cala D'Or . That said, everything is still a very short walk away.
By day, we could lounge by the pool overlooking the marina and enjoy the use of all the facilities including the BBQ area , or a short stroll away we could enjoy Cala D'Or Beach and the many local restaurants offering local and international cuisine. Most of the local beaches have gorgeous beach bars and cafes, all reasonably priced. There are many activities should you feel energetic including cycling, horse riding, boat rentals, scuba diving and snorkelling, paddle boarding and kayaking.
On our last trip we hired a power boat from the Marina for four hours. We hired the boat with a helmsman. He was very friendly, entertaining and knowledgeable and took us up the coast to the most beautiful coves and caves with crystal clear water where we dropped anchor and swam and snorkelled. We took a packed lunch and dropped anchor in the waters next to beautiful old town of Cala Figuera, it was a wonderful memorable day out.
A typical evening was spent at the villa enjoying a gin and tonic from the comfy chairs by the pool, watching the beautiful yachts come in to the marina to moor up. Afterwards, we would wander over to the bar at the boutique style 'Fowlers Hotel,' for a Strawberry Daquiri or Singapore Sling, it is almost opposite the villa and has spectacular views over Cala D'Or marina. This was followed by a walk to the waterside restaurants passing by the stunning moored yachts and motorboats.
The choice of restaurants is endless and the locals are very friendly often remembering us by name and even our favourite tipple!
We have visited this beautifully appointed villa three times already this year and will be returning as soon as time and funds allow!
We found the owner very obliging and very helpful with the booking process and has a vast knowledge of the area; definitely worth asking for advice on the best restaurants etc if you have never been to this beautiful part of Majorca before.
