Sun and surf in Majorca
Canyamel holidays are a real treat, and not just because the resort takes its name from the days when it was a centre for sugar cane production – some people still affectionately refer to Canyamel as Caramel. This relaxed coastal resort on the island’s northeast coast is a great choice for low-key holidays where the focus is on the sun and surf. The village, which includes beautiful archaeological sites, has a picturesque location, set between a Blue Flag beach and pine-covered mountains.
Some great facilities mean that Canyamel holidays are perfect for sporty types, who can play a round of golf or tennis, or swim to their heart’s content. Many, however, choose to spend their time simply unwinding, strolling through the village or lounging by the beach, sipping cocktails at sunset. Add delicious restaurants into the mix and it’s easy to see why holidays to Canyamel are the stuff that sweet dreams are made of.
