Ca'n Picafort holidays

Ca'n Picafort holidays serve up a 13-kilometre stretch of golden syrup-coloured sand on the north coast of Majorca.

A roomy beach

It was once a tiny fishing village, but today Ca’n Picafort’s all about the beach – a long stretch of soft sand shelving down into a shallow, vodka-clear bay. Sun worshippers give this place a big thumb’s up – the fact that it’s so long means no one needs to fight for towel space.

Top-notch location

Stay in Ca’n Picafort in Spain, and you’ll find many of Majorca’s tourist attractions right on your doorstep. The beach resort of Alcudia’s a 20-minute drive north. Or visit the Son Real reserve, just outside Alcudia. It’s great for history buffs – you’ll get to see ruins of two watch towers, a cemetery and a whole Majorcan village.

Best photo stop

This resort’s really grown since its fishing village days, yet the working harbour’s still a buzzing place to visit. Stroll along it and pop in and out of the souvenir shops, or grab a chair outside a bar and snap photos of colourful fishing boats sailing in to shore at the end of the day.
