Cala d'Or · Mallorca
A quiet corner of the southeast coast.
Casa Lago looks out over the calas of Cala d'Or, where pine and pale sandstone meet sheltered, clear water. The market town of Santanyi and the Mondrago nature park sit minutes away, and Palma's old town stays under an hour by car.
Getting here
Easy to reach, far from the rush.
One flight to Palma, then a short drive south through almond groves and quiet villages. A hire car is worth having; almost everything worth seeing falls within the hour.

Climate
Warm days, a long swimming season.
The southeast is the dry, bright side of the island. The sea holds its summer heat well into autumn, so swimming runs comfortably from May to November.
Warmest in August, at 31° air and 27° in the sea. The water stays above 20° from June to November, so the swimming season runs long.

Sweet spot. May, June, September and October bring warm days, thinner crowds and a sea still carrying the summer's warmth. Figures are indicative monthly averages for the southeast coast.
