Everyone who is lucky enough to live in Mallorca has their own favourite beaches, but most people would agree that the Playa de Muro is one of the best for a family holiday. The pine fringed white sand beach seems to go on for ever, the sea is clear turquoise with a gently sloping bottom, and the backdrop of distant mountains adds the finishing touch.

At the eastern end of the Playa de Muro, near Ca' n Picafort, the Iberostar Albufera Playa Hotel, and its sister aparthotel, the Albufera Park, occupy a privileged spot right on the beach. This is a popular hotel, with many guests returning year after year - that tells its own story.
