Mallorca might be in the news for concerns of over-tourism but in the northeast of the island, it’s still remarkably easy to escape the crowds, even in peak summer season. That’s the location of Cap Vermell, in the Canyamel Valley one hour from Palma Airport on good roads and close to the beautiful historic town of Arta, as well as some of the very best long sandy beaches on the island. This is about as far from the capital Palma as it is possible to get on Mallorca, a natural, relaxing and upmarket area that, in general, is better known to German visitors than Brits.
