Formerly known as the Escola Nacional de Vela Cala Nova, Port Calanova is a recently renovated marina, just 5 minutes’ drive from Palma and a 10 to 15-minute drive from the airport.
The local area boasts an array of luxury hotels, trendy beach clubs, the beaches of Cala Major and Illetes and, of course, countless bars, cafes and restaurants, all within walking distance.
Open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, the marina offers shipyard services and a new Travelift, which lifts up to 75 tonnes. It has 172 moorings and welcomes yachts up to 25m in length, with a draft varying from 0.9m to 5m. There are toilet and shower facilities with renovated lockers, wifi, electricity and a fuel station on site.
Mallorca enjoys around 300 sunny days a year. In summer, daytime temperatures reach around 31°C in July and August, and the sea warms from about 18°C in May to 25 to 26°C in August, staying warm enough for swimming well into October.
The most reliable summer wind is the embat, a thermal sea breeze that builds from late morning into the afternoon, mainly in the Bay of Palma and along the south coast, so there is good afternoon sailing close to our base. The cooler northerly tramuntana is most common in winter and early spring, while the mountains of the Serra de Tramuntana shelter Palma and much of the south coast. From October to April there is more risk of stronger winds.
