Pollença

On the north east coast of Mallorca, several miles from the sea, Pollenca is an ancient settlement popular with tourists that has retained a traditional way of life.

If you want to experience Mallorcan culture as the locals do, try Pollenca. Lovers of nature will be in their element whether walking, golfing or swimming at the local beach.

With its maze of narrow streets and ochre coloured buildings, this is somewhere you’ll feel close to the rich history of the island. Enjoy a coffee in the buzzing central square in the morning and listen to the chatter of the locals before climbing the 365 steps to the chapel on the hilltop to look out over this magical island. With the wide curve of the port and beaches one way and the green peaks of Serra de Tramuntana the other, in Pollenca you will find the Majorca of your imagination.

Hugely popular with tourists, Pollenca has managed to hold on to its distinct character with many fascinating festivals and cultural events taking place throughout the year. Whether you are perusing the many galleries and arty shops around the centre, investigating the deep history that stretches back long before even the Romans or hiking through the mountains and coastal routes, you will be walking in the footsteps of the many writers, artists and lovers of beauty who have chosen to make Pollenca their home.
