Can Picafort Holidays

'With its relaxing atmosphere and unbelievably long sands, Ca'n Picafort will delight dedicated beach loungers.'

Thirteen kilometres of beach suit you? That's what you get at this attractive resort in the beautiful, north-eastern bay of Alcudia.

Once a tiny fishing village, Ca'n Picafort will bring you out in pleasure bumps if you're looking for endless golden sands and plentiful amenities, all minus the hectic party atmosphere that often accompanies them. True, the waterfront hotels are favoured by European tourists, but there's still a restful vibe here that's perfect for single-minded beach devotees of all ages.

Just a stroll from the attractive, cruiser-jammed marina and fishing harbour, the gently shelving sands appear to stretch forever, disappearing into the dusky, distant Cabo del Pinar headland. Even the high season crowds can't take up all the space here - so just bags a sunlounger and you'll have ample room for soaking up the rays and the crystal-clear, refreshing waters.

For those breaks from the sands, a bewildering choice of restaurants and bars hug the seafront, catering for virtually every set of tastebuds. And back in the older town behind the harbour there's a further supply of eateries and bars to keep you happy.

When your thoughts stray from the beach, there's no shortage of diversions. Grab the kids and take a bus to the nearby waterpark or explore the enchanting S'Albufera nature reserve. Set sail on a glass-bottomed cruise from the marina or disappear into historic, walled Alcudia with its medieval streets and traditional Friday market.

Come sundown, several bars and dancespots switch on their lights, whilst Alcudia's gregarious nightlife provides refuge for serious party animals. But if you prefer a low-key meal gazing out to sea, you're right in tune with evenings here - just take a seat.

Puerto Pollensa and its yachts, beach, waterfront cafes and restaurants is just along the coast as is the old Roman town of Pollensa. In August, exclusive recitals are performed here, often with the Spanish Queen Sofia amongst the rapt audience.
