Fowlers Hotel

Fowlers Hotel in the old part of Cala d'Or, was built in 1959. It's a hotel that takes you back to a time when foreign places were exotic and foreign travel was for the exclusive few. Every corner is filled with fascinating objects, busts, oil paintings and porcelain etc, a melange of classical styles that blend and contrast against a background of flowers and plants.

It is the location that really sets Fowlers apart, set in a hidden hamlet of cottages and terraced houses, and standing in a dominating position high above the marina, with spectacular views from the terraces.

The beach of Cala d'Or is reached by a short walk through a strangely deserted square, with a fig tree in the centre and a beautiful whitewashed church, which has been the inspiration for many local and visiting artists. This is how Mallorca used to be and it is the way that some corners will always remain. Stroll down the lane at the back of the hotel and you will find the boat houses, probably the oldest buildings in Cala d'Or. The town centre and the wonderful marina are also a short walk away, where there are many fine restaurants and shops.

Fowlers is traditional and comfortable. The lively bar boasts a grand piano and local and visiting pianists frequently arrive to entertain. There is a small splash pool on the terrace. Meanwhile Cala d'Or itself is utterly delightful: what could be better than sipping an aperitif by the harbourside watching the grand yachts slipping in and out?

Meals

Just breakfasts are served at the hotel. For lunch and dinner, pick from the amazing range of restaurants in Cala d'Or.
