Puerto de Pollensa
Puerto de Pollensa (Port de Pollença) was a small fishing village by the end of the 19th century, located at the base of the bay that bears its name. In the middle of the 20th century it grew thanks to its undoubted attraction and its magical location, which is why it is recognised as one of the most beautiful areas in Mallorca.
The strict building regulations have managed to create a beautiful architectural ensemble and a spectacular Pine Walk (Paseo de los Pinos) in front of the sea.
In the surroundings of "Eu Moll", as it is known locally, the mountains of the Sierra de Tramontana is combined with beautiful landscapes, picturesque enclaves, wide white sand beaches and beautiful coves where you can relax. This geography makes it a perfect destination for sportsmen and women to practice any land or water sports.
Our hotel in Puerto de Pollensa has all the services and facilities to make your holidays perfect. It is located 50 metres from the beach and the seafront promenade, as well as from the area of small shops and the town's bars, ice-cream parlours and restaurants. It is also a perfect starting point to access coves and beaches in the north of the island.

This inland village in an elevated location is a beautiful enclave between mountains and sea views with many attractions for the visitor. The village is dominated by El Calvari and is one of the most emblematic places in the town.

Pollensa gains much more interest during the celebration of the Sant Antoni (January 17th), at La Patrona (August 2th), at Easter or at the Wine Fair (March-April), but also its weekly market which is held every Sunday morning.
Formentor Lighthouse

This is the northernmost lighthouse on the island located at the end of the peninsula of Formentor.

From the lighthouse, the views are spectacular thanks to its 210 metres above sea level and neighbouring Menorca can be seen quite often.
The path to the lighthouse is winding and runs through different places of great interest such as the Mirador d'es Colomer, the Albercutx watchtower or the isolated Cala Figuera, Cala Murta or Cala en Gossalba.

It is an enclave between the Cavall Bernat mountains, in the northern part of the Serra de Tramontana, and facing north, which gives it an impressive landscape. This site is formed by 4 small coves differentiated between them: Cala Barques, Cala Clara, Cala Molins and Cala Carbó. Access to all these beaches is very easy and they are not usually crowded.
Between Cala Clara and Cala Molins is Punta de la Torre, a defence tower that was destroyed in the early 50's and its cannon is still preserved in the gardens of a palace in Pollença. It is highly recommended to visit the prehistoric artificial caves of l'Alzineret used as a necropolis and built around 1600 BC, in the Middle Bronze Age, also known as Pretalayotic.
