AccuWeather Puerto Pollensa: weather, beaches and getting there

Puerto Pollensa is a small coastal resort rather than a big town: Port de Pollença has a population of about 5,900, and most of what you will want sits within a few miles. The Bocchoris archaeological site is around half a mile away, and the Punta de l'Avançada lighthouse is about 2 miles off.

For views, the Mirador de la Creueta viewpoint is roughly 2.5 miles from the resort, and further out the Far de Formentor lighthouse, about 8 miles away, is the best-known landmark nearby. It is a resort that suits travellers who like short drives to headlands and coves, and it works well for Puerto Pollensa family holidays thanks to the short airport transfer and beaches close by.

The resort itself is Port de Pollença, the Catalan name you will see on road signs and maps, while British brochures usually say Puerto Pollensa or Puerto de Pollensa. It is the base for everything on this page, and the nearby sights are measured from here.

Beach-wise, El Caló and Ca'n Cullerassa are both about 2 miles away, and Cala en Gossalba is around 6 miles out. The ferry port at Alcúdia is about 6 miles away, Palma's port about 34 miles, and Ciutadella on Menorca around 40 miles across the water.

Figures from the nearby Alcúdia weather station show hot, dry summers: July averages 32°C with only around 2 rain days, and August is close behind at 31°C. June reaches 28°C and September 27°C, though September brings around 10 rain days.

April, August and November stand out as the best months. April sits around 21°C, as does November, which suits walking and sightseeing rather than a pure beach fortnight. May can be showery, with about 12 rain days, and winter highs settle around 16 to 17°C, with nights near 8°C. Check a short-range forecast close to departure, but book on the pattern.

Palma de Mallorca airport (PMI) is the gateway, with direct flights from the United Kingdom. The drive to Port de Pollença takes about 43 minutes, so the transfer is short by island standards.

If you would rather drive yourself, car hire from the airport makes it easy to reach Far de Formentor, Cala en Gossalba and the Mirador de la Creueta on your own schedule.

Most British travellers book Puerto Pollensa as a package: flights from the UK into Palma, a hotel in the resort and the 43-minute transfer included, with a choice of board basis. On this page you can compare package deals from Jet2holidays, TUI, loveholidays and On the Beach, so a Jet2 Puerto Pollensa search can sit side by side with the alternatives.

You can also check hotel prices, browse tours and tickets for the area and compare car hire here. Prices move with demand, and school holidays usually cost more, so it is worth comparing dates if you have any flexibility.
