Port Olimpic Calanova

Port Olimpic Calanova is part of the municipal area of Palma de Mallorca and is about seven kilometers southwest of the city center and the city port(about a quarter-hour drive, following Avinguda de Gabriel Roca), located in the cove of the same name.

The port was established in the late 1970s, is affected by generally weak winds and can accommodate up to 221 boats (with some places reserved for passing boaters), which are between 4 and 15 meters in length and have a draft of between 90 centimeters and five meters.
Each berth is equipped with a power station with sockets for electricity and access to drinking water.

Within the port area there is also a refueling point and a 24-hour continuous security service.

The ports also offers a full yard, where customers can have mechanical, structural, and electrical repairs performed on their boat, have its hull cleaned or undergo protective treatments and repainting.

The shipyard has a ramp, a travel- lift that can lift up to 30 tons, and a crane that can lift up to 5 tons.
The harbormaster’s office is open 24 hours a day year-round and provides weather bulletins.
Club guests can use the restrooms, showers, and wi-fi and parking facilities. The area also counts the presence of a few boat rental agencies and a restaurant-bar.

A supermarket, stores, hotels, a bank, a pharmacy, and a laundry can also be found within a few minutes’ walk of the boat club.

The club also has an area for garbage collection.
The cab station and bus stop are adjacent to the port.

The port is also the headquarters of the Escuela Nacional de Vela Calanova.
The school organizes sailing courses for teens and adults, summer sailing and sports camps for children and teens, as well as kayaking trips for groups.
The school also has a residential facility where passing sailors can stay and a swimming pool.

The port of Calanova is easily accessible by land, and-next to the ports area-is a small, light-sand beach.

Many coves and bays line the coast north and south of the port.

Very close to the port of Calanova is Calo des Malls beach, a beach located in the middle of the urban agglomeration but with little parking around it, making it a destination that is not particularly crowded and preferred especially by locals.

Another beach in the surrounding area is Cala Comtessa. It is easily accessible by public transportation (but a free parking lot is located near the beach) and access to the beach is via a flight of steps, making it not accessible to everyone. It is a sandy beach, is surrounded by beautiful Mediterranean vegetation, and there is less urban sprawl than elsewhere.

Majorca is the largest of the Balearic Islands Islands.
Palma de Mallorca is undoubtedly its hub and offers numerous attractions, both daytime and evening, for every age group.
Its Museum of Contemporary Spanish Art is well worth a visit.
The strongholds of evening entertainment are Palma and nearby Magaluf, which, however, offers a more “unbridled” type of fun and is more suited to a very young audience.

To move from Port Olimpic Calanova to the discovery of Mallorca, one may decide to rent a car, but it is good to know that the public road transport service is efficient and very economical (and functional even for evening hours).
