Camp De Mar Holidays

Located on Mallorca’s southwest coast, Camp de Mar is a small, upmarket beach resort built around one of the island’s calmest and most scenic bays. It’s all about slow mornings, crystal-clear water, and a relaxed, slightly exclusive feel, with Palma and Port d’Andratx just a short drive away.

✨ Camp De Mar Holiday Highlights

• 🏖️ Picture-perfect beach – 200m of soft sand in a sheltered bay with calm, crystal-clear water and pine-fringed cliffs

• 🏝️ The island restaurant – cross the wooden footbridge to a rocky islet for seafood and cocktails with views. Iconic.

• ⛳ World-class golf – Golf de Andratx is right on the doorstep, including the "Green Monster" (Spain's longest hole)

• ✨ Upmarket atmosphere – small, exclusive and peaceful, with a celebrity history (Claudia Schiffer had a place here)

• 🏔️ Tramuntana access – the UNESCO-listed mountains are minutes away for hiking, cycling and proper Mallorcan scenery

🎉 Good to Know

• ☀️ Weather: Expect 28-30°C in summer with around 300 sunny days a year. The sheltered bay keeps things calm and the sea beautifully warm.

• 💶 Prices: This is upmarket Majorca – expect €4-5 for a beer, €15-25 for a meal. Worth it for the quality and setting.

• 🕵️ Fun fact: British secret agent Thomas Harris (of WWII double-cross fame) retired here in 1949 and spent his final years painting. The mystery continues – he died in a suspicious car accident in 1964.

🗣️ Local Lingo

Spanish and Catalan are spoken across Mallorca, but English is widely understood in resorts.
