Puerto Pollensa Holidays

Puerto Pollensa, also known as Port de Pollenca, is one of Majorca’s most appealing north-coast resorts, set beside a wide, sheltered bay with the Tramuntana mountains rising behind it. It has a relaxed, grown-up feel rather than a loud party atmosphere, making it a popular choice for couples, families and anyone looking for an easy-going seaside holiday with attractive scenery close by.

The resort’s main beach runs along the bay and has calm, shallow water in many areas, so it is well suited to swimming, paddling and relaxed days by the sea. There are sections with sunbeds and parasols in season, along with plenty of space for a stroll along the waterfront. One of Puerto Pollensa’s best-known spots is the Pine Walk, a peaceful seafront path shaded by pine trees, with views across the water and towards the surrounding hills.

Eating out is a big part of a holiday here. Around the marina, the main square and the promenade, you will find a good choice of restaurants, cafés and bars, ranging from simple places for tapas and seafood to relaxed international dining. Evenings tend to be sociable but low key, with drinks by the waterfront, family-friendly bars and occasional live music rather than large clubs or a late-night strip.

Puerto Pollensa is also a good base for exploring northern Majorca. The historic town of Pollensa is a short journey inland, known for its old streets, market, cafés and the Calvari steps. The Formentor peninsula is another highlight, with dramatic coastal viewpoints and scenic drives, while boat trips around the bay and along the coastline are popular in the warmer months. Nearby Alcudia offers a walled old town and a larger beach resort feel if you want a change of scene.

Active visitors are well catered for too. The area is popular with cyclists, walkers and water sports enthusiasts, particularly outside the hottest summer weeks. Whether you spend your days on the beach, wandering the Pine Walk or heading into the mountains, Puerto Pollensa offers a calm and scenic Majorcan holiday with plenty within easy reach.
