Camp de Mar Holidays: Beaches, Weather and Getting There
Illes Balears · Balearic Islands · Spain · 1,500 residents · on the coast
Camp de Mar is a small coastal resort on Mallorca, home to around 1,500 people and sitting barely above sea level. It is the sort of place you choose for its scale. There is a cove beach, Caló d'en Monjo, a short walk away. The Sa Mola Lighthouse and the Liedtke Museum are both within a few miles. Palma de Mallorca airport, with direct flights from the United Kingdom, is roughly 24 minutes away by car. Summers are properly hot and dry, with July peaking at 31°C. Just along the coast lie livelier neighbours such as Peguera and Santa Ponsa, which makes Camp de Mar a calm base with plenty within easy reach.

Tips from Robin
Practical Tips for Your Stay
Camp de Mar is small, so expect a relaxed pace and a limited choice on the spot. Larger neighbours such as Andratx and Santa Ponsa are close by for shopping and a wider range of places to eat.
The resort sits right at sea level and its appeal is firmly coastal. Summer is the season to come for swimming, while the wetter autumn months suit sightseeing trips to the lighthouse or museum.
With the airport under half an hour away, a short break works well here. You lose little of your holiday to transfers.
