Northeast

The furthest area from the centre of the Palma and the airport, both of which are still reached in under 60 minutes, which just shows that on the island of Mallorca, long trips are a distant memory. The north of the island is divided in 2 main areas, 1 further north than the other.

The furthest north are the municipalities of Arta, starting with Colonia de Sant Pere, Son Servera and Capdepera. The town of Arta is situated in the heart of this area and is the most charismatic. Canyamel, with its wonderful golf course and pretty coastline, is also one of the stand out areas. Somewhat South of Cala Ratjada, is the Costa de los Pinos, which is protected both by the surrounding green zones and coastline. All main roads towards Palma were relayed only 5 years ago and now offer great connections to the city. The fact that there are 4 golf courses and various marinas speaks for itself about the potential for non-residents here.

From the Costa de los Pinos to Cala d’Or, the area offers various hotels, with extensive beaches. Between these beaches are some of the stand out properties of the area, the stand out area here without a doubt would be the Northeast countryside where some of the most exquisite fincas are found

Arta has its own history and the city walls date back to medieval times. Pretty shops, bars and squares make this a worthwhile place to visit.

The North area begins at the end of the bay of Alcudia, in the area of Colonia de Sant Pere, runs along the peninsula of Arta and ends in the south just to the north of Porto Colom.

The Costa de los Pinos, a very wind protected area, is beloved by many famous, almost Spanish celebrities, such as Carlos Sainz and Ana Obregon are enjoying their summer time at this beautiful and peaceful place.

This area disposes of four golf courses: Golf de Canyamel en.canyamelgolf.com/home , Golf de Capdepera www.golfcapdepera.com/en/home.php , Pula Golf www.pulagolf.com and the Golf of Son Servera www.golfsonservera.com . The awarded Michelin Starred restaurant Es Moli den Bou www.esmolidenbou.es is located in this area as well.

In one of its bays, the Cala Anguila, there is always a lot of wind and waves, thus being preferred for surf lovers todosurf.com/prevision/ .

In the idyllic Canyamel, several 5-star hotels have settled. Emphasis has to be put on the newly created Park Hyatt, which is planned to open its doors in spring 2016.

For historic reasons the northeast is home to some of the largest single-owned pieces of land in Mallorca with large properties, but available at accessible prices relative to other parts of the island. The area is unspoilt with pretty undulating countryside and dramatic mountains as a backdrop.

Arta has its own history and the city walls date back to medieval times. Pretty shops, bars and squares make this a worthwhile place to visit. Manacor, just 20 minutes away, has all the facilities one would need year round, and the new Rafael Nadal tennis centre has just begun construction which will bring added attraction to the area. This area is also home to some important wine making including Miquel Oliver who have been producing full bodied reds for over 100 years www.miqueloliver.com/en
