AREA GUIDE
Southeast of Mallorca

Cala Dor - Santanyi - Portopetro - Felantitx - Campos

Some of the loveliest locations are in this region, including spectacular Arta  and the magnificent beaches of the Manacor area and  Capdepera. Spring comes to this region that little bit earlier, because of an especially favourable climate, and the almond blossoms here are first to bloom. Sweeping landscapes and the sea who could want for more?

Cala D'Or, with its superlative harbour and sandy beaches, is a bustling holiday resort on the Southeast coast. Popular with families, this area is not for those who seek a life in the wild spaces of Mallorca. It is better suited to those who prefer the charm of natural surroundings without suffering any of the inconveniences.
Buildings and houses in Cala D'Or are built in the traditional Ibizenco style and are nicely integrated into the natural environment, with no tall structures to disrupt the landscape. Artist Pep Costa , who founded Cala D'Or about 50 years ago, left a permanent legacy of construction norms, to this day officially enforced as part of building regulations. According to these, construction has to be flexible to accommodate the natural environment, which must take priority at the course of a road, for example, yielding to a pine tree.
With some of the lowest starter prices on the island, Cala D'Or is all in all an attractive prospect for clients looking for a holiday home.

Porto Petro, Also within the Cala D'Or area is Porto Petro, with its harbour originally dating back to the sixteenth Century, when it was used to export the excellent Santanyi­ sandstone, prized throughout Mallroca and beyond for traditional building and stonework. Towards the end of the nineteenth century, commercial activities declined and the harbour reverted to a fishing port. Nowadays, the Royal Nautical Club is located in the picturesque port, mostly used by leisure yachts and the ferry to the renowned natural park of the archipelago of Cabrera.

The Vall Dor Golf course, easily accessible from Porto Colom and Cala D'Or, enjoys magnificent views of the Mediterranean and combines a variety of terrains, including autochthonous woodland and olive groves, to make for an entertaining but not too difficult course. The environment naturally also provides magnificent lifestyle and investment property opportunities.

The glittering bay of Cala Murada offers unspoilt shores, with a bay of fine sands as well as the kind of rocky coastline so suitable for snorkelling and fishing, plus a backdrop of natural Pine Hills. Careful planning and development offers that rare commodity, beachfront properties which do not spoil the scenery and quality of life for others. For proximity to nature alongside all the infrastructures of a well-planned resort and the comforts of modern properties, Cala Murada could be your location of choice.

Santanyi­
The Santanyí­ property is also very lovely, and within your budget. In case you do not already know, Santanyí­, on the Southwest coast, is one of the finest beach areas of Mallorca, much loved for its scenic rural landscapes, especially at almond-blossom time in late February. A lively international artist community is active there.
