What Cala d'Or, Mallorca is REALLY like

now this video does come in response to a Facebook post that we had in the Majorca Under the Sun Facebook group maybe about a week week and a half ago from someone asking about what it is like to Holiday down here and if it gets very busy in the summer months now this post this calls quite a lot of arguments actually on the page with people saying no it doesn't get busy yes it does get busy but I'm going to run that through the pros and cons of staying here because while this Resort is absolutely amazing it might also not be quite the place for you to come on holiday so that's way up the best and the worst points of holidaying in caladore [Music] foreign [Music] you can see the absolute best point of holidaying over here in caledor just by the beautiful turquoise blue water that you can see out here in front of me now of course we're down here in winter but the color of this water does not change as we go through the year it is beautiful and turquoise all the way through the year and it's this crystal clear as well making it absolutely perfect for swimming and perfect for snorkeling and for sailing too now these beaches down here in Canada they are very narrow and they do run very deep so if you don't get here very early in the morning and particularly if you're over here with a family and with very small children then you may actually want to get that Shoreline spot you're going to find yourself being several meters away from the water's edge now from what I saw last summer I saw that many of the the beach on Brothers actually had security boxes on them which is fantastic news so if you are going into the sea then you can keep your valuables safe in these security boxes then once again if you do not get down to the beach in time to secure one of these beach umbrellas with security boxes or you don't get a shoreline spot either you're running the risk of leaving your belongings on the Sands as well which given the currents climates and the possibility of also being pickpocketed on the beach as well maybe isn't great however you can also get yourself a waterproof phone case or bum bag and these are available in their Amazon Mallorca Under the Sun holiday shop and also if you don't get here early then the chances are that you're going to be getting a spot on the sound that's actually quite far away from the sea too so that might be a downside of holidaying here now that said you're not actually limited to sitting on the beach when you come down to many of these beaches over in caledor and I'm down here on caligran and many of these coves do have Pathways running alongside the beaches here so if you're prepared to walk along these little paths you can actually have your own little bathing platform too and all along the coast here you can see steps leading on into the water and it just gets you off that Main Beach too I mean it is just absolutely gorgeous around here and look I can even see and we're we're in the beginning of February here someone jumping in for a swim okay so I'm just coming down through the center of Caledon where you're going to find the majority of the restaurants here now during the summer months this whole area is just a wash with people there's a great atmosphere there's so many places to eat and to choose from as well and it's largely pedestrianized you don't get traffic coming by these restaurants you just get people and it's one of the only Resorts actually on the island that has such a small concentration of restaurants in one place now this is a pro and this is why so many people do like coming here because during the summer months as well you're going to find The Nightlife around here to be really Lively and you're going to find it to be really good fun too however that said I do find that down in calador there is a slight lack of Beachside restaurants because many of the beaches are so small and narrow like I've mentioned before you're going to find a lot of the restaurants that are actually set back Inland a little bit but if you do want to to eat down by the water then you're going to have a great choice of restaurants over at the marina [Music] so if kalador just seems like too much of a busy Resort for you to come to during the summer months and do as I'm doing today while I'm filming this video and come and see us in Winter and you can see I'm down here in calipatita and I practically have the entire little beach to myself now I've just stopped off here in calapetito because I am making a couple of videos today about calories so make sure you hit that subscribe button and that notifications bell too in case you're planning your holiday to this area because I have some more great helpful information that are coming up in the future on my channel now while I'm down here we're going to talk about what transport is like getting around kalador now honestly I do find this resort to be very very spread out amongst several very small yet very beautiful Resorts so if you are going to hire a car then really coming to calidor is the place that you're really going to need to hire that car now The Tib bus network does run down here and there are major lines that run not only to the airport but also into Palmer as well and over to santanie and also down to kalamondrago and you can also check out that video of a day trip that you can see from Canada and I'll put a link to that in the description a text below too however one of the main ways that people do and get around calendar is by The Ting Ting the tourist train that runs here throughout the summer months now that normally doesn't start until around the first of May so if you are coming out here before then just bear in mind that it's going to be maybe a little bit harder to get around the resorts and the towns and you are going to have to be relying upon that tib bus or you're going to have to be getting taxis too okay so I've come down to a calendar Marina to tell you all about the amazing things that you can do here in caledor and that really is a real Pro for visiting this Resort now I have made a video all about things to do in caledor I shall link to that at the end of this video there'll be a link in the description text below this video as well so make sure you check that out the kellador marina and calidor is a great place for water sports during the hot summer months and you may remember that we came down here last summer on the share Charter it was on the capellina it's just moored a little bit further along the marina here but there's so much Choice over here as well for boats to go out to go and see the dolphins to go fishing to learn to sail and just to go on the cruises and excursions okay so that says if it does rain and the weather does turn over here there doesn't seem to be that much to do over in kalador now if you are a regular in caledor or you do live over here and you're watching this video let me know the things that you do in the rain as well apart from going to the bars and the restaurants I'd love to know but normally when it's raining on the islands and the weather does turn you do get a lot of tourists heading on into Palmer heading on to sightsee around the capitol city if you are over here in caledor then that bus journey is going to take roughly about maybe an hour and a half an hour and three quarters it's quite a Distance by bus from Palmer city not so far if you're driving you can get there in about an hour 15 minutes roughly depending on traffic too but it is a little bit more cut off from other areas of the islands than maybe some of the other resorts also as well if you are going to base yourself down in caledor then bear in mind as well it's not just sightseeing in Palmer but it's maybe sightseeing in other areas of the island so it's going to take a lot longer to get up to places like Sawyer or Daya or over to the Southwest as well so if you are coming to calador come to caledor explore the local area around here and maybe come back for another Majorca holiday in the future and go and check out those areas too because if you do come here on holiday it's almost impossible to see the whole island in one trip foreign [Music] is that there's a huge supply of hotels down here you're going to be absolutely spoiled for Choice whether you want to go all-inclusive half balls or even the stay in the Villa or apart or in the apartment block too so this is really a purpose-built resource it's been built around tourism it caters for tourism so therefore it's a really fantastic place to come on holiday however one thing that is lacking slightly in calador is any kind of old world charm that you may find in other areas of the island or just a little bit closer to some of the main Resorts now of course this is quite a modern area there is no Central historic area around here however there are some great little rustic old towns and there's some hidden gems in the in and around Cala door so I'll be back here over the summer months and I'll be seeking those out for you if you do want to get a taste of Old World Mallorca in the South you east of the islands okay so I hope this video has helped you to decide whether or not you would like to come to a calendar in Majorca this summer now if you have been to the island before and you have been to kellador and I've missed something off from this video please leave your opinion and your comments in comments below I'd really like to know about it however if you're looking to visit some other area of the islands as well that compares very differently from calidor do check out this video appearing on YouTube just here if not don't forget you can find me on the Facebook group and on my Instagram also called Mallorca Under the Sun and I look forward to seeing you on the next video goodbye for now
