Cala Millor is north of Porto Cristo and south of Cala Rajada. Many hotels are right on the beach. No road interferes providing a great beach holiday. Cala Millor is oriented to families with children, not the big party. The hotels are also family-friendly.
Understand
[edit]Cala Millor developed along the coast, and occupies a good part of the bay called Cala Millor (which means "Better Bay"). The most outstanding attraction of Cala Millor is its extensive beach, which stretches for almost 2 km, with a promenade that runs from top to bottom. The accommodation offer is very varied and of high quality, with the majority of hotels and apartments located on the first line in front of the sea, with a pedestrian zone behind.
Cala Millor beach, with a length of 1750 m and 35 m wide, is one of the busiest during the summer, with transparent and clean waters.
