Why not make a visit to the old Roman town of Pollensa? Situated just 5km inland, this renowned artist's colony, with its narrow streets and wonderfully restored stone village houses is steeped in both charm and history.

For the more active visitor why not walk many hundred Calvario Steps, climb up the Puig Maria mountain or play a round of golf at Golf Pollensa where you will find yourself surrounded by the most magnificent views.

Pollensa has something special, and its loyal visitors return every year.

One thing you must not miss is the Sunday market. This is where anyone who is anyone comes out to be seen and heard. The hustle and bustle on the majestic square is incomparable to any other. You will be sipping your cortado amongst locals and celebrities from all over the world.

By the coast you will find one of the prettiest resorts on the north coast, Puerto Pollensa curves around a magnificent bay with a backdrop of the Sierra Traumontana Mountains. Good roads and transportation make it an ideal base for exploring the villages and sights of north Mallorca/Majorca.

Where other resorts have gone all out to attract the mainstream tourist, Puerto Pollensa’s fans – mostly couples and families with older children – appreciate that it has retained its natural beaches of sand and pebbles, and resisted the temptation of discos and high-volume nightclubs. Instead, the ambience here is always relaxed and filled with charm.

Pollensa like Alcudia has changed from being just a holiday resort to become another favourite area where to foreign families choose to settle down.

You will find many British, German, Scandinavian and other European families perfectly integrated in the local community and enjoying a quieter pace of life then at home.

Other must visit areas in Pollensa are Formentor, Cala San Vicente.
