Cala Egos Guide
Cala Egos is the quieter south-western side of Cala d’Or, with its own small beaches, restaurants, shops and easy access to the marina and Portopetro.
Cala Egos is part of the wider Cala d’Or area, but it feels slightly separate from the main centre. It has its own restaurants, bars, shops and accommodation, making it a good choice if you want a quieter base but still want resort facilities.
The area is useful for families and repeat visitors who prefer a more relaxed atmosphere. Caló des Pou and Cala Egos beach are nearby, and the marina is close enough for dinner, drinks or boat trips.
It is not as central as Cala Gran or the main Cala d’Or pedestrian area, but that is part of the appeal: Cala Egos is often calmer while still being practical.
