Puerto Pollensa is situated in the north eastern corner on the island of Mallorca only 45 minutes from Palma. Once a small fishing port it is now an elegant holiday destination in an unspoilt corner of a popular holiday island.

The resort nestles in a natural bay, against a backdrop of rugged mountains, giving a particularly picturesque setting. There are stretches of sandy beaches and the wonderful 'Pine Walk' right alongside the seashore where bars, shops and restaurants provide an unbeatable combination. Bon Aire - Mal Pas is directly opposite Puerto Pollensa on the other side of the bay but only a 10 minute drive from the port. Here you have the tranquillity of an upmarket residential area with stunning sea views across to Formentor and Pollensa. There are a handful of small friendly restaurants to include the fabulous 'Cocodrillo Restaurant at the Marina' just at the bottom of the garden and the Beach Bar which stays open till 1am with music and fresh fish suppers in the summer months again within walking distance of the villa.

Puerto Pollensa is a resort catering for those who prefer the quieter side of life. It is nothing like the perception that many people have of Mallorca . If you are looking for sprawling crowded beaches and brash bars - you won't find them here! Although a short 15 minute drive away will take you to the Port of Alcaudia where you will find a waterpark for a family day out and more lively bars for those who prefer. If you enjoy watching the world go by, relaxing around the pool and eating good food in a relaxed atmosphere then Puerto Pollensa and Bon Aire are just for you.

Old Alcudia set within old castle ruins is only a 10min walk from the villa and is between Bon Aire and Pollensa. Here you have the small cobbled streets with restaurants and shops for you to explore. This area is open all year and offers market days and a feel for the traditional Spanish life on your doorstep.

If you feel slightly more energetic you can enjoy boat trips across to Formentor bay where King Juan Carlos often moors his yacht during his frequent visits to the island. Hire a Bicycle and explore the many country lanes. Play golf, learn how to sail, scuba dive, wind surf or simply enjoy a stroll alongside the sparkling sea.

The northern area is known for its marvellous mountain walks and in Spring and Autumn the Pollensa area is an ideal base for bird watching with many migrant birds pausing en route for Africa.
