Holidays to C'an Picafort

With a superstar sandy beach, a promenade brimming with treats and more palm trees than you can shake a coconut at, C’an Picafort holidays are a Majorcan island dream.

See you at the beach

Once a sleepy fishing village, C’an Picafort is now one of Majorca’s top destinations for families, friends and couples looking for a fuss-free sun, sea and sand getaway on the Med. Think beaches stretching as far as the eye can see, a compact town with palm-lined streets and dazzling blue waters to splash around in.

Straddle a banana boat one day, flop beneath a palm tree the next and hit the promenade for an evening pick-and-mix of cuisines and cocktails. In a nutshell, holidays to C’an Picafort strike the perfect balance between laid-back charm and just enough action to keep things interesting.

Just add water

If you’re the type who can’t just read a book on the beach or snooze on a lilo, you’re in luck. Playa de C’an Picafort delivers plenty of watersport action. First up, paddleboarding. Whether you’re a newbie or a maestro, the gentle shimmering waters here will always have you looking like a seasoned pro.

For pure adrenaline highs, take an electric aquabike tour (kind of like an electric bike on water) or go parasailing for a bird’s-eye view of the bay. The colourful pedalos with slides are a favourite with kids who like splashing into the perfect swim spot.

North Majorcan magic

When you’re ready to hit pause on beach life (well, just for a bit), the northern parts of Majorca are well worth exploring. Just a short drive away, Alcúdia is home to boutiques, regular markets and the Roman ruins of Pollentia.

Nature lover? Get your binocs ready for the moustached warbler because the nearby S'Albufera Natural Park is a birdwatching dream. Club de Golf Alcanada, meanwhile, is close by if you fancy swinging a club, too. If cycling’s more your bag, the ride to Cap de Formentor is hard to beat. Closed to motorised traffic in summer, you’ll get the northern tip views all to yourself!
