Built in 1932 and used as a military barracks during the Spanish Civil War, the four-star D'Or has returned to life as a 95-room hotel overlooking the rocky Cala d'Or. The tidy rooms have balconies and garden or sea views – the latter definitely have the edge – and a minimum five-night stay applies in peak season.
