Overview

At Zafiro Cala Mesquida, family holidays are very much the main event. This large, low-rise complex, made up of 14 blocks and 357 apartment-style suites, rolls gently down towards Cala Mesquida’s dreamy sand-and-dune-backed bay. Think a pirate ship splash park, four pools including an indoor option, Balneum spa and a full programme of activities from morning till night. Add in apartments with kitchenettes, whirlpools or swim-up access and a choice of flexible board bases, and you’ve got an easy, self-contained resort where everyone from toddlers to teens – and the grown-ups – can do their thing.

Sweeping views over Cala Mesquida’s golden sand and turquoise shallows set the scene at Zafiro Cala Mesquida. Terracotta-roofed buildings cascade towards the sea, framing a collection of palm-fringed pools, children’s splash zones and spacious sun terraces. Inside, contemporary, apartment-style suites give families the freedom of self-catering with the service and facilities of a four-star hotel – all just a short stroll from one of Majorca’s most photogenic beaches. For couples and families seeking the Balearics’ quieter side, Zafiro Cala Mesquida delivers a peaceful, nature-backed setting without compromising on facilities. It’s around 2 hours 10 minutes from Palma de Mallorca (PMI) airport, with Cala Mesquida’s small resort centre and sandy beach 250–400m away depending on where you’re staying in the complex.
