We stayed 1 week in the apartment with our daughter of almost 2. Because the apartment was so wel equipped , it was super comfortable! The apartment has everything you need, with a great pool, garden and rooftop and easy acces & parking. Luisa is super friendly, reactive and gives you a plenty of tips upon arrival . We tried some of them and they were great.
The Canyamel beach is small, cute and very pretty. As the sea walks down slowly, it’s the perfect ‘ natural pool’ . Canyamel itself is small & quite, with small amount of restaurants. We tried Isabel (next door) and went back a second time as the food was lovely and fresh. Also try the Cala Rotja restaurant which is at 2 min by car. Devine views & lovely food (bit more upscale). If you seek for party and lively nights, go to Cala Ratjada instead, but if you want beautiful nature & relaxation: Canyamel is your spot.
Some tips in the area:
Cala Agulla beach
Capdepera castle & village
Arta market on Tuesday & church up the hill
Palma for a day visit
Coves d’Arta (doable with kids)
If without kids: try the more remote beaches for snorkelling and swimming. And if you like more upscale food, there are quite some Michelin (recommended) in the area (mostly +18 so we did not get to try🥲)
We really did not feel the vibe in Cala Millor, buildings are everything but cute and authentic and so is the atmosphere. Typical fast build tourist trap city (sorry not sorry)
Also, because of the high number of German tourist of the island ,waiters speak to you in German immediately, lots of shops and restaurants are run by Germans, menus are in German and the most spoken language is German. Lovely if you are German I guess, but we were hoping to practice our Spanish and have a bit more of an authentic Spanish feel!
Nevertheless, we loved our holiday and the beautiful Island!
