This is the main coastal development in the municipality of Santa Margalida on the island of yacht charter Mallorca. Located just 60km from the island’s capital Palma, the resorts sits in the eastern corner of the Bay of Alcudia, on Mallorca northern coast.
Generally, the transfer time from the airport to the resort is calculated at about one and a half hours depending on the traffic. The closest large city is called Santa Margalida and you will more than likely pass through it on your way to the resort, which is 10km away.
C’an Picanfort has been described as having a distinct German feel due to the numerous bars and the restaurants which are aimed at the German tourists. This might make the tourist from another country feel somewhat of an outsider here, despite the fact that the locals welcome one and all to their resort.
Little remains of the original fishing village that stood here up until the late 60s and which was replaced with the modern buildings that today number close to 9000 beds for accommodating visitors.
There are really no attractions in the resort outside the beach itself which is very clean and has great facilities but it somewhat expensive when compared to other places on Mallorca. Also, most of the entertainment is hotel-based, save for 2 clubs and a couple of restaurants. To make up for it, C’an Picafort has a great many bars, all with a distinct German feel.
Outside the resort, there is the S’Albufera Park which is home for many species of birds from all over Europe. The park can be very fun because there are numerous hides wherefrom you can spy on the birds and their nests as they go about their usual business. This makes for a lively day out and it gives you something else to do when you tire of the beach.
