Pollensa, otherwise known as Pollença in Catalan, is a charming medieval municipality made up of three areas: the Pollensa town itself, Puerto Pollensa and Cala Sant Vicenç. They’re all very peaceful and quiet, perfect for a family holiday. The town, 6 kilometres inland west from the port, was founded by the Catalans in the 13th Century as a refuge from pirates. Most of the town’s stony buildings and narrow, cobbled streets are from the medieval times. Port de Pollensa and Cala San Vincente also give off that medieval vibe from time to time, but are beach towns and tend to attract more visitors.
Beautiful beaches, rugged landscape and crystal clear waters make Pollensa an unbeatable choice for anyone looking for a perfect beach holiday. Let’s start with beaches in Puerto Pollensa. Several beaches comprise the 1.5 kilometre golden stretch of sand touching the blue waters here. There is an abundance of water sports available, plus there are bars and restaurants lined along the promenade behind the beaches for a refreshment or even a meal. Cala Barques in Cala Sant Vicenç is a wonderful sand beach with straw umbrellas scattered around. There are also several lovely restaurants surrounding the beach with excellent traditional Spanish menus. Numerous beaches adorn the Pollensa municipality and are definitely worth checking out - Cala Formentor, Cala de Sa Calobra and Cala Boquer, just to name a few.
Spain is the golf holiday destination, and with quite a few golf courses strewn around the island, Majorca is pretty high on the list. Pollensa Golf is a very well groomed, 9 holes, par 35 course with a fine restaurant and excellent facilities. The course is around 2.5 kilometres from the town of Pollensa and around 5 kilometres from the port. Alcanada Golf Course is in Alcudia, only half an hour’s drive from Pollensa. This is undoubtedly the best golf course in Majorca which also hosted the Challenge Tour Grand Final in 2019. The course has 18 holes, it’s length is 6.5 kilometres and par is 72. The restaurant at the course is top notch. It serves Mediterranean food with excellent service, and the prices are actually quite reasonable for a prestigious golf club.
Pollensa's town centre has charming narrow streets and historic buildings centring on Plaça Major - the old town square. With plenty of cultural gems to discover, this town is also famous for its ancient 365 step El Calvari stairway north of the square and The Formentor lighthouse which is the highest in all of Majorca located approximately 20km north-east from Pollensa. There’s also a parade every year on Good Friday, popular with locals and tourists alike. This rural slice of Majorca is a haven for cyclists and hikers, where the most scenic route is the 3km walk through the Boquer valley to the ocean on the other side. Watch the re-enactment of the 15th century defence of north Majorca from the Moorish pirates which is still celebrated today and takes place on the 2nd August each year. The Puig de Maria, built in the 14th century, is over 300m high - an easy hike up the hill grants beautiful views of Pollensa from the top, and a peaceful visit to the shrine on the hill's peak. History buffs will enjoy exploring the medieval town of Alcudia, just a 15 minutes bus ride away.
There are plenty of choices when it comes to beach fun for kids, especially in Puerto Pollensa. A floating water park is usually placed near the pier. It’s a great venue for kids to have a good time and burn off some energy! If your kids are too small to go alone on the floating water park, then you might be in for some exercise as well. Another great way to spend the day with the kids in Pollensa is by visiting the Alcudia Hidropark. It’s just outside Alcudia, some 20 minutes’ drive from Pollensa. The park offers excellent slides suited for all ages, fast food restaurants and pools for toddlers and preschoolers. We’d recommend booking a ticket online, as to avoid the queues and it can save you money.
Most towns and villages in Majorca are connected via the public transport service. Travelling by bus may seem slow-paced from time to time, as buses tend to make every stop. However, public transport is the cheapest option and it’s quite reliable. The fare depends on the distance. It can be as little as few Euros, if you’re travelling to a nearby town or village, or 20 Euros if you’re travelling to the other side of the island. However, the island is divided into travel zones and you might be required to change buses in order to get to your destination, so it’s best to visit the TIB website and get acquainted with Majorcan bus lines. If you prefer to drive, car hire in Majorca can prove to be a great way to go, and there are loads of companies offering their services at the airport. Car hire prices usually start from around 180 Euros per week.

Apart from that, a handful of charming shops selling artisans, knick-knacks and various sundries can be found tucked away in villages and towns inland like Pollensa or Sa Pobla. These items make great souvenirs. Though there are nice supermarkets in larger towns and villages with a variety of foods and drinks on the shelves, to shop in larger malls you’ll have to visit Palma.
