Playa de Muro Holidays
Shiny new and secluded, Playa de Muro oozes upmarket style and makes for a charming holiday escape.
Looking to go off the beaten track on holiday but want somewhere with a bit of chic? Then picturesque Playa de Muro will suit you down to the ground. Slap bang between Alcudia and C'an Picafort on Majorca's captivating north coast, this modern resort is the perfect remedy for a peaceful, undisturbed getaway. If you like nothing better than soaking up the sunshine, the white sand beach will take your breath away. Backed by gorgeous greenery, the shores spread out for 5km so if you want some space to yourself, you can always wander along until you find a favourite spot. The sea is impressive too, with soft turquoise surf ideal for cooling off in or trying your hand at some water sports perhaps. Far-flung is part of the charisma of this destination, but there's enough here to keep you ticking over if you just want to unwind here for a week or so, with a selection of shops, bars and restaurants. Keen shoppers will enjoy a wander around the Saturday morning market selling fresh produce and hand-crafted goods and many of the eateries you'll come across serve Spanish dishes, though there are also some British options and a few international menus to be found. If you want to explore a little further a field, the S'Albufera Park on the outskirts of Playa de Muro will charm the pants off you. Totally enchanting, there are sun-dappled paths to follow and birds from all over Europe flock here to nest every year. And if you have little ones in tow, they'll love the giant wooden maze, a huge labyrinth where you play a game to get to the middle. Hours of fun for all the family.
Do you like all things new, fresh and chic? Holidays in Playa de Muro, one of Majorca's newest resort destinations, are all of the above. Try something different from non-stop Magaluf and hectic Palma and be the first among your friends to travel to Playa de Muro.
Holidays centre round the breathtaking beach. This wide, 5km swathe of pale sand is located between Alcudia and Ca'n Picafort, in the centre of the Bay of Alcudia. On the beach, there's a big range of watersports and the shallow, warm waters of the bay make great paddling for little 'uns too. Leave them to build sand castles and dig holes while you lie back and soak up the Balearic sunshine on the uncrowded beach.
If you can bear to leave the beautiful beach, spend a day exploring the S'Albufera Park that surrounds Playa de Muro and see if you can tackle the giant wooden maze together. Or go trekking or climbing in the nearby Serra de Tramuntana mountain range. Perhaps a leisurely round of golf is more your cup of tee? There are several courses close by including Aucanada, Golf Pollensa and Pula Golf.
Venture inland and enter the impressive city walls of Alcudia's ancient old town and explore the narrow streets of Majorca's former capital. Or choose to stay in the historic village of Muro, the beach's namesake, at the gorgeous Son Pou Villa.
Holidays to Playa de Muro recharge your batteries and open your eyes to a newly discovered corner of Majorca.
