Pine coast, calm, destination dining

Canyamel

A calm north-east bay of pine and villas hiding a couple of the island's most ambitious kitchens.

Canyamel lies on the quieter north-east coast, a low-key resort wrapped around a broad sandy bay backed by pine and the limestone hills that hold the Coves d'Artà. It is greener and more spread-out than the island's busier strips, a place of villas, golf and a long beach that empties as soon as the day-trippers leave. The dining surprises for somewhere so calm: a couple of the island's most ambitious destination kitchens sit tucked into estates and country hotels here, drawing diners out from across Mallorca. You come for a considered, special-occasion dinner and stay for the quiet.
