The Mallorca/Majorca Region

Mallorca set in the Mediterranean off the eastern coast of Spain is the largest of the Balearic Islands and the most varied. For many years Mallorca was synonymous with mass tourism but in recent years it has become a quality destination offering a wide range of holidays. This is an island of variety with all the ingredients for an unforgettable holiday - dramatic mountain scenery, golden sandy beaches, hidden coves, timeless villages and ancient monasteries.

Whilst some areas of the coast have been over developed with exuberant resorts, the capital, Palma, however, still retains some of its historical flavour sporting grand mansions and a magnificent Gothic cathedral in its bustling centre. The north coast offers some secluded coves below the peaks of the Serra de Tramuntana mountain range, and several quaint old towns and villages, whilst the interior is largely the preserve of a thriving agricultural community, dotted with windmills, olive and almond trees.

 

Puerto Pollensa Area

PUERTO POLLENSA is an attractive resort which stretches along a sheltered horseshoe-shaped bay lined with sandy beaches, set against the backdrop of the Boquer Mountains. The resort has grown up around a scenic fishing port that served the old Roman town of Pollensa.

Far quieter and more laid back than the exuberant resorts of the Bay of Palma, Puerto Pollensa attracts both families and couples. The celebrated Pine Walk overlooks the beach and the bay, dotted with the colourful sails of yachts. Some of the best fish restaurants in Mallorca are found along the promenade along with other cuisines to suit every taste.

SPORTS enthusiasts are well catered for, with all the usual water sports both at the marina and along the beach, ranging from wind surfing to sailing, snorkelling to scuba diving. Inland there are opportunities for hiking amongst the surrounding hills and scenic mountains, as well as two golf courses, tennis; and opportunities for cycling, walking and horse riding.

There are a number of interesting places to visit nearby:

Historic POLLENSA, lies in the lee of the Tramuntana Mountains and is a peaceful old town that has been largely unaffected by tourism. Pollensa is one of Mallorca’s most celebrated cultural towns with much of the historic medieval centre remaining intact, particularly around the attractive Plaça Major.

CALA SAN VICENTE, Puerto Pollensa's near neighbour, is a small resort with some excellent restaurants that nestles around four sandy coves in the shadow of the Cavall Bernat.

The nearby FORMENTOR PENINSULA, the bony northern spur of the Tramuntana Mountains is an area of great natural beauty with wooded valleys, plunging cliffs, magnificent seascapes and a wonderful beach, the Playa de Formentor.

OLD ALCUDIA, not to be confused with the modern resort 3 kms to the south, has a fascinating history. Settled by the Phoenicians and Greeks; the Romans made it their capital; destroyed by the Vandals; rebuilt by the Moors, and liberated in the early 1200’s by the Spanish who fortified the city with massive walls. Today within the old city you will find a number of enticing restaurants, bars, shops and art galleries.

Further afield are many other places of interest - LLUC, renowned for its monastery, beautiful DEIA home to many artists, the ancient hilltop town of ARTA; and PALMA itself.

Guest Book

HI Linda,

I just wanted to let you know that we had a fantastic holiday. Everything went well with the airport transfers and the apartment was a home from home, it had everything we needed and was very comfortable. The maid called twice and changed our towels, which we didn't expect and the veranda and garden area were very spacious and just perfect for the boys to play in. Patricia called and was very helpful and all in all we thoroughly enjoyed our first trip to Puerto Pollensa. Although we didn't leave PP for any day trips (partially due to the "terrible twos"), we will definitely be going back and will hopefully hire a car then and trip around. I would have no hesitation in recommending this apartment.

Once again thank you for all your help and congratulations on an excellent service!!

Kind regards,

P - August 2011
