Puerto Pollensa, Mallorca

Welcome to the beautiful Mediterranean island of Mallorca, a place of exotic locations, exquisite views, fabulous restaurants, rich culture and total tranquillity. Just a 2 hour flight from London and only 40 minutes from Palma airport, Pollensa has remained one of the most beautiful and untouched corners of Mallorca. With the Tramuntana mountain range sweeping majestically down to meet the glassy waters of the bay, Pollensa has arguably the most breathtaking scenery in the Mediterranean.

Situated on the northern-most peninsula of the island, for many years it remanined difficullt to reach along the old winding roads heading north from Palma. As a consequence, Puerto Pollensa , the old town of Pollensa and the surrounding country side have retained much of their original charnm and character. In June 2006, the completion of the motorway brought this most beautiful part of the island to within easy reach of the capital and its international airport.

Stunning scenery

The stunning scenery brings other hidden benefits- in the hot summer months the daily circular movement of air rising off the warm land and falling down over the cooler sea brings pleasant breezes, perfect for cooling you down and perfect for sailing, windsurfing or just chilling.

Originally a small fishing port, Puerto Pollensa has fast  become one of the most popular family holiday destinations in Europe. The bustling marina and port offer a wealth of restaurants and bars to suit all tastes. Its safe beaches and large pedestrian areas have exceptional amenities for all ages and interests. The local beaches have sunbeds and umbrellas for rent, are cleaned daily and there are public showers and changing rooms, Red Cross life guards, daily street cleaning, beach police patrols and daily passenger ferry trips to Formentor, all contributing to a safe holiday environment.

Ancient buildings and a beautiful plaza

The old town of Pollensa, situated 3 miles inland, is a maze of narrow streets and ancient buildings surrounding a beautiful plaza and church, and endless pavement bars and cafes to peruse at your leisure.

Pollensa is also a rich cultural centre, with numerous art galleries, a world famous music festival throughout the summer, the annual re.enactment of the Moorish invasion of Pollensa in August and many craft and artisan fairs held throughout the year.
