Villas in Pollensa

There is an excellent market in the Old Town of Pollensa every Sunday where you can shop for locally grown produce to cook at your villa. The town also has several quaint gift shops and mini markets. If you are going to Puerto Pollensa, we recommend you visit on a Wednesday when the weekly market is held in the main square. You can buy everything you need for a picnic on the beach. There are supermarkets on the outskirts of the town if you need anything extra for your Pollensa villa.

Pollensa Square and its narrow, cobbled streets has plenty of chic brasseries and traditional restaurants where you can choose between a light tapas lunch, paella or an international menu. Nearby Puerto Pollensa has plenty of waterfront restaurants so why not dine on the seafront and watch the fishermen's boats in the harbour?  Alcudia is around 15 minutes away by car and has lots to offer with restaurants around the harbour and tapas bars in the historic part of the town.

The North East coast of Majorca has a choice of excellent and different types of beaches to try. The closest is the long Blue Flag sweeping bay of Puerto Pollensa (Puerto Pollenca), 15 minutes' drive away, which runs parallel to the famous Pine Walk. It’s a sandy beach with a sheltered bay, ideal for paddling and swimming or trying the watersports on offer. When you want a break from the sun, there are plenty of fun beach bars. If you prefer a smaller, more intimate cove beach, Cala San Vicente, a short drive North, has 3 to choose from. In the opposite direction, around 20 minutes’ drive from Pollensa is Alcudia which has a five mile long sandy beach.

The neighbouring resort of Alcudia has a good waterpark, Hidropark, as well as a go-karting track and horse riding facilities. There are also boating excursions, including the glass bottom boat, available at Puerto Pollensa Marina and Alcudia Harbour.

If you’re feeling energetic, you might choose to venture up the 365 steps from Pollensa Old Town Square to the Calvari Church and admire the fantastic countryside views.

Cap de Formentor is known to be the most dramatic stretch of Mallorca’s coast, with razor-edge cliffs and wind-buckled limestone peaks projecting far out to sea. It’s about 30 minutes' drive from Pollensa plus time at the viewing point half way. If you are feeling very fit and active, you can cycle it. During the summer months, there are boat trips from Puerto Pollensa around the headland to Formentor Beach which is a scenic spot with beach cafes.

Majorca has plenty of natural wonders and you can go bird watching in the nearby S'Albufera Nature Park or hiking in the Tramuntana Mountains. There are also plenty of bodegas, or wineries, to visit and sample some of the best wines the island has to offer.
