Cala Moreya and S'Illot is an old fishing settlement turned resort, with mature buildings and streets overhung with great pine trees.
The streets of sleepy Cala Moreya were resurfaced and improved in 1992, though change here has not kept pace with boom town Sa Coma, with its newly landscaped and pedestrianised seafront and seemingly endless conveyor belt of hotels and apartments. Besides the attraction of the beaches, the surrounding countryside is of interest to naturalists and, by virtue of its prehistoric remains, to archaeology buffs. Whilst it is not exactly classy, it has certain pretentions of quality. As with all of the E coast resorts, it is not the best strategic base for excursions to other parts of the island although these are, of course, possible. There is a noticeable bias towards the upper endof the resort, with several good four-star options and a tendency towards quality in the three-star accommodation. There is a marked preponderance of holiday apartments. Cala Moreya is the place for the more economical lodgings. Locality: On the E coast, 42 mls E of Palma, slightly less from the airport, along a moderately good road. 3 mls NE of Porto Cristo. On flat land backed by low hills. |
