Balearics Sustainable Tourism Tax: You’ll need to pay a Sustainable Tourism Tax which has been introduced by the Balearic Government to help with environmental and tourism improvements. The charge is between €1-4 per person per night, plus 10% VAT, subject to change, and varies based on the official star rating of your accommodation. Children under 16 won’t have to pay and guests staying for more than nine nights will receive a reduction. 

By car: Hiring a car lets you explore the island to find hidden beaches or head up into the mountains in the north. You can rent a car in the town centre, or pick one up at the airport for even more choice.  

By bus: Local buses can take you to Palma, Manacor and Porto Cristo. Services are generally more frequent during the busier summer season. 

By road train: During the summer, Calas de Mallorca runs a road train service from the hotels to the beach. Check with your reception for timetable information. 

Cultural festival: For two days in January, locals light bonfires, sing traditional songs and roast botifarrons (a local type of blood sausage, which tastes much better than it sounds!) in honour of Sant Antoni Abat, the patron saint of animals. The festivities conclude with a huge parade and blessing in front of the church in Manacor. 

Carnival: Calas de Mallorca holds an annual carnival, which starts on the Thursday before Lent. There’s a whole week of celebrations, from parades to fancy-dress parties, so be sure to pack your glad rags and join the party.

Spring festival: Nearby Manacor hosts a full programme of activities every June. From open-air concerts to sporting events, there’s lots to see and do.
