Cala d’Or

Soak Up the History and Nature of Beautiful Cala d’Or

The lovely village of Cala d’Or, on Mallorca’s southwest coast, is well known for its fabulous beaches and has long been popular with visitors of all kinds. While there’s certainly more than enough to keep you occupied, with its lovely calm waters, seven secluded and protected sandy bays, and a sophisticated ambience, it’s not only picturesque but also a little quieter than some of the other resorts on Mallorca. For this reason (and many others), it’s a brilliant option for those looking for a slightly slower pace of holiday.

Country Profile: Kingdom of Bahrain

The Gulf Kingdom of Bahrain, to give its full name, is an archipelago made up of in excess of thirty islands strewn in the Persian Gulf. While it’s long been a place to ‘do business’ (it is extremely rich in terms of natural oil and gas reserves) it’s not really a place on many people’s holiday hit list. But in fact there are plenty of reasons it perhaps should be, and more and more people are discovering them.

Country Profile: Dominican Republic

By its very geography the Dominican Republic evokes images of a tropical paradise, with white sand, swaying palm trees and turquoise waters that go on forever – and that is exactly what it is.
