Book ahead in peak summer
Cala d’Or is made for boat days. The resort is built around small coves, rocky inlets and a marina, so the coastline is often more impressive from the water than from the road.
Visitors can choose simple sightseeing and glass-bottom boat trips, longer coastal cruises with swim stops, or private boat hire and skippered charters. Popular routes often head towards Cala Mondragó, Portopetro, Cala Figuera, Cala Mitjana and other coves along the southeast coast.

What to expect
Glass-Bottom Boats
A simple choice for families who want a coastal trip without committing to a full private charter.
Private Charters
Best for groups who want flexibility, quieter coves, snorkelling stops and a more personal route.
Swim Stops
Many trips include swimming in clear coves, but exact stops depend on the operator and conditions.
Cove Routes
It is easy to visit more than one Cala d’Or beach in a day, especially if staying near the centre.
Best Time / Season
Morning
Morning trips often mean calmer water, less heat and easier boarding with children.
Afternoon
Good for a shorter swim and softer light after the busiest part of the day.
Peak Summer
Arrive early. Small coves can fill quickly and parking becomes harder by late morning.
Shoulder Season
May, June and September are usually more relaxed while still offering warm beach weather.
