Can Picafort, Mallorca Holidays: Family Beach Breaks
Can Picafort sits on Mallorca's northern coast and is a relaxed, family-friendly resort built around a long, sandy beach. It is a popular choice for UK families and couples who want classic Mallorcan sun and sea without the intensity of the island's busiest spots.
The calm, shallow water and easygoing promenade make it especially good for families with younger children, while the warm climate and reliable summer sunshine keep everyone happy.
Where to stay in Can Picafort
There are good beachfront options here. Eix Platja Daurada is a 4 star beachfront hotel in Can Picafort with direct access to the sea and promenade, while Zafiro Mallorca is a 4 star apartment hotel in Can Picafort near the northern coast, handy for families who like a bit more space.
Getting there and when to go
You fly into Palma and transfer up to the north of the island, with flights from many UK airports through the season. Mallorca's summers are hot and sunny with warm seas, while late spring and early autumn are quieter and pleasant for walking and exploring.
Beaches and resorts
The long sandy beach and gentle, shallow water are the main attraction, backed by a pleasant promenade lined with cafes and shops. The resort has a friendly, low-key feel, and the surrounding northern coast offers quieter bays and scenic spots to discover.
Food and things to do
Dining ranges from Spanish classics and fresh seafood to familiar family favourites, much of it within easy walking distance. Days can mix beach time with promenade strolls, watersports and easy trips out to explore more of northern Mallorca.
Who it suits
Can Picafort is well suited to families with children thanks to its safe beach and calm pace, and to couples who want a relaxed, good-value Mallorca base rather than lively nightlife.
