Ona Village Cala D’Or, Cala d'Or

Expect rooms to overlook the pool or gardens, with second-floor apartments offering a better view.

Choose a two-bedroom apartment for generous space, large balconies, multiple bathrooms, and room for up to six with the sofa bed.

Choose a ground-floor apartment for easy pool access, a garden, and no stairs, but expect less outlook.

Choose Block 1 or Block 3 for more daytime sun; Block 3 gets full sun in April.

Choose a larger apartment rather than a studio for more extensive cooking facilities and extra space.

Request a balcony, preferably a sunny one, because some ground-floor apartments have little or no outlook.

Choose a garden-facing apartment for a quieter setting.

Request an end apartment in Block 1 or Block 3 for a quieter location during evening entertainment.

Choose an apartment on the left side for more sunshine.

Choose an upper-floor apartment for more daytime sunshine.

Avoid school holidays if you prefer a quieter stay without children’s activities.
