Cala Millor Expands Sports Facilities – Over €600,000 for Modernization

Cala Millor Bets on Sport – What's Planned

In the coming months you will see in Cala Millor again people with toolboxes and plans in their hands. The municipality is launching a project to modernize the sports facilities with a total volume of a little over €600,000. The lion's share is covered by the Island Council, a smaller portion is contributed by the municipality. Not surprising, but a tangible step for the town.

Concrete Measures on Site

On the list are several practical changes: new stands at the main field, better floodlighting, energy-efficient technology and measures to improve accessibility. Older surfaces should be repaired, running tracks renewed, and spectator areas made safer. Those who jog along Passeig Marítim in the morning have already had the facilities in sight – now they should be more attractive for clubs and training camps as well.

Why this matters: Cala Millor is positioning itself as a destination for sport tourism. That means: not only summer guests on the beach, but also football, athletics, or tennis teams that come outside the main season. Such guests stay longer, fill apartments in the off-season, and bring restaurant guests in the evening who might otherwise have gone away.

Sustainability and Everyday Life

Emphasis is placed on more than looks. Energy-efficient lighting, more careful water use, and durable materials are planned. It sounds modern – and sensible. For residents, it means fewer flickering spotlights at night and facilities that can be used longer throughout the year.

The works will be carried out in phases to avoid complete training outages. The expected start of construction is spring 2026; leap years can of course throw everything into disarray. The municipality plans to involve local sports clubs closely: youth teams should receive priority for alternative training times during the construction phases.

What Local People Say

At the kiosk on Avenida de Sa Coma, people speak softly of hope: "Finally something long-term," says a coach from the local club, while stirring a coffee. Others are skeptical whether the improvements will be lasting or just a make-up for the season. Such voices exist as always.

Conclusion: Not a huge miracle, but a solid investment in infrastructure. If the implementation succeeds, Cala Millor has a chance to attract conferences and training camps in the off-season – and that affects the whole town. Whether this succeeds now depends on project management and on how well the municipality and the clubs work together.
