Canyamel

Canyamel, on Mallorca's quieter north-east coast within Capdepera, is a low-key resort set around a wide sandy bay, a championship golf course and the dramatic Coves d'Artà caves. Pine-covered hills and protected coastline keep the area green and uncrowded.

Property ranges from villas with sea and golf views to apartments near the beach, with a noticeably relaxed, nature-led atmosphere compared with the busier south-west. The nearby towns of Artà and Capdepera add authentic Mallorcan character.

Buyers are drawn to Canyamel for its golf, unspoiled beaches and tranquillity, accepting a longer (around one hour) drive to Palma in exchange for space and nature.
