One of the smaller resorts of Mallorca’s North coast, lovely little Cala San Vicenc  continues to retain an air of the simple fishing     village that it was before the arrival of tourism. Centred on a series of inlets carved out of the steep rocky coast there are three sandy beaches in total each retaining its own character. 
The resort itself has seen tourism flourish in a very low key manner and aside from two large hotels it retains an atmosphere of gentility with tourism kept to a handful of streets lined with villas set in pleasant gardens, reaching inland along the valley floor. Visitors to Cala San Vicenc soon become part of the town and feel almost like valued guests than tourists.
There are two sizeable sandy beaches – Cala Barques, at the western end of the town, and the larger of the two, has a wide sandy beach whilst picturesque Cala Molins boasts turquoise sea and pale sand making its crystal clear waters shimmer an iridescent turquoise ...... ...More about Cala San Vicenc>>

Campanet, Mallorca 

Situated on the edge of the green and wooded foothills of the Tramuntana Mountains, the village of Campanet's one claim to fame is its amazing limestone caves, said to house the longest stalactite in the world. It also makes a good starting point for an exhilarating drive to the mountain top Monastry at Lluc via the picturesque village of Caimari.

Campanet has no less than three bakeries, as well as a well-stocked supermarket and a delicatessen. The sunny church square has a number of simple bars and small shops and it's a pleasant spot to linger over a morning coffee and croissant before heading off for the day. Of an evening there are also two or three bars that serve authentic Majorcan tapas or simple meals, but the village has surprisingly remained a peaceful backwater, virtually untouched by tourism.  ...More about Campanet >>

Santa Margalida, Mallorca 

Although a mere 7kms from the resort hotels and glorious sandy beaches strung between Alcudia and Can Picafort, the small, gentille Mallorcan town of Santa Margalida, is just far enough removed from the coast to remain off the beaten track as far as tourists are concerned. As a consequence the town has remained in a sleepy time warp, happily servicing the local farming community and really letting its hair down twice a year for its Saints Days. The first, on August 15th is the festival to the Virgin Mary heralded by fireworks followed by the Fiesta of La Beata on the first Sunday of September when all sorts of exciting mayhem takes place!

The old main square, with tables and chairs scattered beneath shady plane tress, is impressively spacious with the usual selection of tapas bars, as well as a genuine pizzeria and an upmarket coffee shop offering cakes, Mallorcan tartes and sugary ensaimadas. ...More about Santa Margalida >>

''What a quaint town Santa Margalida is! Beach is fantastic at Son Serra de Marina (no water sports and no sunbeds) truly unspoilt.''

Cala D'Or and Felantix, Mallorca 

We feel that this lovely harbour side fishing village is maybe one of Mallorca’s best kept secrets.

Less than an hour’s drive from Palma Airport and neighbouring the sophisticated and cosmopolitan resort of Cala D’Or, Porto Petro has retained its small town feel and the contrast of fishing boats now bobbing alongside some of the more opulent motor boats and yachts only adds to its appeal.

Bordering the harbour side, authentic Mallorquin and seafood restaurants spread their tables out towards the harbour in easy and understated manner. Pine covered hillsides climb out of the bay   ..More about Porto Petro>>

''We had a fantastic holiday in Mallorca. The accommodation and setting was perfect. If anything it exceeded expectations.''

Ca's Concos, Mallorca 

Amongst its shady streets surrounding the church of Sant Nicholas there’s a sprinkling of shops including a baker and minimarket and pleasant cafe bars offering traditional tapas as well as a couple of very decent restaurants

''Beautiful location, very traditionally furnished and amazing views, the pictures on the web were very true and unedited, well done. A relaxing peaceful and lovely week.''

Porto Colom, Mallorca

One of several places in the world claiming to be the birth place of Christopher Columbus, Porto Colom is among east-coast Majorca's more charming resorts The town has grown up around an existing fishing village, based around an attractive natural harbour and the source of the village's early wealth. Fishing boats still bob up and down in the harbour, and at the northern end of the quay the colourful fishermen's

 cottages are a charming feature of the town. 

The main beach, Cala Marcal, is 500 metres south of the town. Around the bay, to the north of the town, there are another couple of small but very pretty pine tree backed beaches, often less crowded and popular with locals.  ..More about Porto Colom>>
