Camp De Mar Holidays

Exclusive, peaceful, and a favourite with the rich and famous – Camp de Mar is Majorca's quietly glamorous southwest corner. This small, upmarket resort delivers everything you'd expect from a celebrity hideaway: a beautiful sheltered beach, crystal-clear turquoise waters, and a distinctly relaxed pace. The famous little island restaurant (reached by wooden footbridge) pretty much sums up the vibe – stylish, scenic and just a bit special.

✨ Why Visit Camp de Mar?

🏖️ 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.
