The buildings are mostly only two floors high with cubic architecture and whitewashed facades, and often fringed with lines of pine trees.

Even the hotel construction was strictly regulated to ensure this charming character was maintained.The town attracts a mixed, international crowd of tourists and caters well for most groups.

Many places close out of season. Nevertheless, with more than 4,000 inhabitants, even in winter time there is usually something going on.The community is mixed and if you don’t mind travelling a little for major shopping out-of-season, you can still bag a bargain property.Many of the properties consist of traditional, cubic, whitewashed Mediterranean architectureMajor Attractions in Cala d’OrCala d'Or is an excellent spot for a beach holiday thanks to its impressive facilities and wonderful beaches.
