Pollenca Travel Guide
From Wikitravel
Pollenca is a town in Mallorca, one of Spain's Balearic Islands. Nestled at the feet of the Serra de Tramuntana, the mountain chain along Mallorca's northern coast, it is a very attractive traditional Mallorcan town which is a world away from the package holiday resorts found elsewhere on the island.

Hotels
Pollenca has some well regarded hotels for a break, they tend to be smaller than the big resort hotels, and friendlier too. Some of the favourites include La Moraleja, Son Brull Hotel and Spa and Hotel Daina.
Villa Rentals
Renting a villa is an excellent, if a little more expensive, way of enjoying Mallorca's more secluded locations. These are generally found on the western and northern sides of the island. Below are some agencies that offer villas for rent in Pollenca:
- Pollenca Villa Rental Around 10 private villas and apartments located around Pollenca. Many have private pools and secluded positions, others are apartments conveniently located in the town.
Get out
- Port de Pollenca - the nearest beach, (its also a very good beach!)
- Alcudia - give the package holiday resort a miss, and head to the Roman ruins around the old town.
- Palma de Mallorca - Mallorca's capital, full of things to do, and places to see (the Banys Arabes are fantastic)
- Soller and Port de Soller - don't drive there direct! Go to Palma and catch the Soller train - the best way to see Mallorca!
- S'Albufera National Park - a fantastic place to come and see the fantastic birdlife that exists on Mallorca.
