Cala Petita, White sand beach in Santanyí, Spain

Cala Petita, officially cala d'Or and formerly caló de ses Dones, is a small semi-urban white-sand beach in Cala d'Or, Santanyí, Mallorca, beside the Port of Cala d'Or. Low rocky outcrops flank it, ending in a fine-sand shore with little slope; sand-covered terraces were built at the back to add sunbathing space, and chalets are screened by the pine woods.

The beach was long known as caló de ses Dones before its name was officially changed to cala d'Or. In 1935 the Belgian architect and painter Médard Verburgh built the Hotel Cala d'Or beside the cove, the first hotel in the village and the third oldest still operating on Mallorca.

The beach is officially called cala d'Or and was formerly known as caló de ses Dones, names still used locally. The only hotel around the cove, Hotel Cala d'Or, was set up in 1935 by the Belgian architect and painter Médard Verburgh; it was the village's first hotel and is the third oldest still running on Mallorca.

The beach sits beside the Port of Cala d'Or, so it can be reached on foot from the marina. Sand-covered terraces were built behind the shore to add sunbathing space. In summer the small cove fills up quickly, so come early in the day for room to lay out a towel.
