Just a few kilometres from Artà near Mallorca's north-eastern coast, Capdepera is famed for its magnificent medieval castle. Tranquil and historic, this little community of ancient orange-hued stone streets has become a favourite amongst relaxed holidaymakers and culture enthusiasts. A number of lovely accommodation options are dotted around the town and within the surrounding countryside, fit for a range of tastes and budgets. Many of the best places to stay in Capdepera boast spectacular sea views, too!

A fortified settlement built to withstand pirate attacks over 700 years ago, Capdepera has a fascinating past. Its imposing 14th Century hilltop fortress — now known as the Castell de Capdepera — is a must-see, and well worth the steep climb. Discover cobbled lanes lines with honey-coloured houses on foot, pausing to admire churches and shops before picking a perch at a sunlit café. The Church of Sant Joan is particularly lovely.

Venture beyond the town centre to play a round at the 18-hole Capdepera Golf Course, to marvel at the Artà Caves or for scenic coastal walks. Hikes to the Capdepera Lighthouse yield striking views, whilst sunseekers will be adore unwinding on the beaches of Canyamel or buzzy Cala Ratjada. Return to one of the best places to stay in Capdepera for relaxed afternoons by the pool and delicious candlelit dinners.
