Ca’n Picafort is a delightful coastal town located on the north-eastern shore of Majorca, the largest of Spain’s Balearic Islands. Known for its laid-back atmosphere and beautiful natural surroundings, this charming resort town is a perfect destination for travellers looking to unwind while enjoying a variety of activities.
The town boasts a wide, golden sandy beach stretching over 3 kilometres, offering plenty of space for sunbathing, swimming, and family fun. The shallow waters make it especially safe and inviting for children.

The surrounding countryside also offers excellent cycling and hiking routes through pine forests and countryside paths.
Water sports are popular here, with options including kayaking, paddleboarding, and jet-skiing.

For a bit of local culture, nearby villages like Alcúdia and Pollensa are just a short drive away, boasting historic old towns, markets, and artisan shops.
