Cala Mondrago is not really an area where you will find business for sale, there are a couple of bars and restaurants and occasionally they do change hands but normally very quickly, its one of those cases of knowing who to talk to.

There is the possibility of creating a rural hotel or bed and breakfast type business in or around Cala Mondrago as the area itself is very beautiful and attracts many tourists during the day, arriving by car from all over the island or by the local bus and road train service from nearby Cala Dor

Resort Information -- Cala Mondrago

The secluded resort of Cala Mondrago is part of the municipal district of Santanyí, approximately 8km, or 5 miles, south of the chic resort of Cala d’Or on the south eastern coast of Majorca.

If all you’ve ever seen of Majorca is the popular resorts along the south west coast of the island, you may be somewhat amazed to discover that a resort like Cala Mondrago still exists in the 21st Century, however, if you find the thought of isolation and seclusion appealing then read on.

Cala Mondrago is one of the few coastal resorts on the island, that as yet remain undiscovered by the major tour operators.

The main feature of Cala Mondrago is without a doubt the lovely sandy beach, which is flanked by two rocky headlands. However, despite the isolation of the resort, this beach can still become quite busy during summer weekends with the influx of visitors from the local inland towns around Santanyi. It’s here that you’ll also find the only shop in the town, although even this is really limited to selling a range of beach goods and souvenirs. Beyond this, you’ll have to make the trip either north to Cala D’or, or alternatively inland to Santanyi for even the most basis holiday essentials.

Despite continued pressure and an every increasing demand for both holiday and residential accommodation, it is highly unlikely that Cala Mondrago will ever grow beyond the development that we see today. In 1992 much of the area around Cala Mondrago was recognised for its extraordinary ecological value to the island, and was declared a Natural Park by the Balearic Islands Government, thus affording it special protection from future commercial development.

The resort of Cala Mandia has a selection of bars and restaurants for sale and to rent. Business can be good in the height of summer, there are two major hotels and several smaller ones in the area, this is supplemented by an ever increasing amount of new build apartments and villas on the edge of the resort. The mix of tourists is predominantly German, although there are an increasing number of Scandinavian and British. There is very little or no winter trade to be had in Cala Mandia although one of the hotels in the area does open earlier than most.

Resort Information -- Cala Mandia

If you’ve never heard of the resort of Cala Mandia before, you can be certainly be excused, since most of the maps of the island don’t as yet recognise this as being a resort in its own right. However, if you look closely enough you may see a reference to the development of Porto Cristo Novo, some 4km to the south of Porto Cristo on the east coast of the island. If only to add further confusion, a number of the tour operators are also marketing this destination as Playa Romantica, which literally translates into English as “Romantic Beach.”

In any case, this fairly remote area of the east coast, is part of the municipal district of Manacor around 70km to the east of the capital Palma, and generally visitors should normally expect a transfer time of around 1.1/2 to 2 hours from leaving the airport grounds.

Cala Mandia, Playa Romantica, or Porto Cristo Novo, which ever way you wish to refer to it, is still a relatively new resort destination that has been specifically developed to meet the ever increasing demand for tourist accommodation on the island.

If you’ve ever visited Majorca before, you may recognise that the town of Porto Cristo is synonymous with two of the biggest tourist attractions on Majorca, namely the Caves of Drac and Caves of Hams. As a result of this close proximity, Porto Cristo can sometimes become very busy during the summer months with coaches of day visitors. To a large extend Cala Mandia escapes this attention of the general public, and the only day visitors to the town are normally those looking for a relaxing day on the beach.

All things considered, it’s a very quiet resort, perfect if you want to retreat and get away from it all, but still within easy reach of the more lively resort of Cala Millor which is only a short taxi ride away.
