Sporting activities in and around Calvia

The sunny island of Mallorca is the largest of the Ballearic islands found in the Mediterranean Sea off the south east coast of Spain. Mallorca enjoys a wonderful warm all year round climate, making it a perfect location for sporting holidays. The beautiful region of Calvia is situated west of the capital of Palma and within easy reach of the airport. Here you can enjoy a game of golf at 2 local golf clubs. The Bendinat is constructed within a pine tree valley, with a short but uneven field. It has 18 holes, a bar and restaurant, golf shop and rental of clubs, carts and cars is available. The Poniente also has 18 holes, with a large practice area, bar and restaurant, golf shop and rental facilities. This golf course boasts the ultimate backdrop to its course, with amazing views of the rugged mountains nearby.

Scuba diving is also a popular sport in Mallorca with visitors. Between the months of June and October the surface and water temperatures around the island are warm and visibility is as much as 40 metres. Sea temperatures in mid summer reach around 26 degrees. The marine life around the Mallorcan shores is varied and considerable, and includes European barracuda, eels, rainbow wrasse, goatfish, cardinal fish, damsel fish, blennies, gobies, groupers, octopus, sea slugs, crabs, squid, lobsters and so much more. There are several great dive sites in Mallorca. The Isla del Sec is close to Magalluf and Palm Nova, with a wreck at 30 metres. El Toro off the south coast of Mallorca has recently been designated a conservation area, and consequently has plenty to see. It is rated the best dive site in the area. The Cave of Madonna is a large cavern with huge entrance, and within the cave is a statue of the Madonna. As you surface inside the cave the water changes from salt to fresh water. There are an abundance of dive centres in Mallorca, particularly around the larger coastal resorts.
