While the traditional hot spots for visitors, or purchasers of Mallorca real estate, are well know to all – Andratx, Santa Ponsa, Pollensa etc, those looking for that often allusive combination exclusivity and tranquility should just perhaps be looking at Costa Canyamel in the North East of Mallorca. Although traditionally slightly off the beaten track expect to see this change in the coming years but without any loss to its charm and exclusivity, far from the crowds yet home to the top class amenities and sophistication one expects in a first class resort / destination.

Tucked away on the north east coast of Majorca, Canyamel is an unspoilt gem much of which that has been declared an area of special natural interest, perfect visitors or residents looking for a quiet escape from the otherwise ever increasing hub-bub of life. 

The beauty of Canyamel is that it offers everything you would want from a costal location combined with the tradition and charm of a rural / traditional countryside destination.

Canyamel’s beach is almost 300m of beautiful, soft sand and has been awarded the European Blue Flag for cleanliness and further afield but within a very short drive the whole region of Capdepera is dotted with sandy coves and pristine beaches.

Yet at the same time Canyamel, with it’s stunning scenery and peaceful surroundings, is also a  perfect location for cycling, horse riding and walking in the countryside; enjoying traditional Mallorca villege / town life – markets, fiestas, tapas bars etc in Arta and Capdepera etc; and sports – there are four golf courses in the area at Canyamel, Capdepera, Pula and Son Servera, large numbers of tennis courts with floodlighting and professional tutors and all the activities one would expect from a coastal destination – sailing, diving, water skiing etc.

And for history this corner of Mallorca has plenty to offer – the medieval defence tower Torre de Canyamel, from where one can enjoy the beautiful views over the Bay of Canyamel;  Capdepera castle, one of the largest in Mallorca, originally built in the 13th century; the quiet medieval town of Arta, where you can see the 14th century Sanctuary of Sant Salvador; and last but not least the ancient caves of Canyamel filled with stalagtites and stalagmites.

With all this as a backdrop one can understand why Canyamel has grown up as a luxury villa destination and why, for example, Hyatt Hotels and Resorts have chosen the spot for their first Mediterranean development, and German businessman Erwin Franz Muller acquired Canyamel golf course last year, with it’s international standard 18-hole golf course and plans for an ambitious project to modernise and improve the golf facilities first constructed in 1988.

Peter Norman, Senior Vice President, Real Estate and Development for Hyatt Hotels & Resorts, recently spoke about their project saying “Mallorca is one of Europe’s most beautiful areas, and we believe that Park Hyatt Mallorca will deliver an unprecedented level of luxury and unrivalled hospitality experience to guests. Spain continues to be one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world, and Park Hyatt Mallorca will enable Hyatt to further enhance its visibility in Europe and further pursue its strategy to increase its brand presence in the region and new markets.”

The arrival of Park Hyatt to the Island adds to the ever increasing list of leading hotel names in Mallorca, including Jumeirah, St Regis and Sheraton who already have resorts in Mallorcaand with these two developments the Canyamel location will undoubtedly grow in stature.

Furthermore the Park Hyatt hotel will form part of Cap Vermell Estate comprising an area of some 20 hectares, with marvelous views of the beautiful  Bay of Canyamel, and where permission has been granted for the construction of 72 luxury villas, of which 12 have already been built and 3 already sold. To follow is a new Country Club for the exclusive use by residents and hotel guests and that will form the social backbone of the new development and local area.

These new projects dovetail perfectly with existing amenities such as the historic Cap Vermell Hotel and Beach Club overlooking the beach of Canyamel which offers a true taste of traditional warmth and hospitality.

With this in mind it is clear to see that Canyamel will be building on it’s already existing reputation as a top real estate location and why Novi Property Mallorca are teaming up with one of the most experienced market operators to bring clients a series of the best and newest Canyamel investment options.
