About
About Calvià
Calvià is a municipality and resort town on the island of Mallorca, part of the Spanish autonomous community of the Balearic Islands. It is located in the southwestern part of the island of Mallorca, between the Serra de Tramuntana and the Serra de Na Burguesa.
It's difficult to imagine when this was the "undiscovered Med", but from 1838 discerning travellers headed here, along with delicate souls like Chopin who found the likes of Monte Carlo and Venice altogether too crowded and noisy. Wisely they kept the secret to themselves, and mass tourism only developed from the 1960s, when a string of resorts sprang up along the coast. Every few minutes in summer, another plane-load of tourists descends over the scrubby hills of Calvià towards Palma airport.
