Who this resort suits

With a population of around 5,900, Port de Pollença is a town rather than a resort city, and that scale shapes the holiday. It suits couples and families who would rather walk to a nearby beach and spend a day at a lighthouse than hop between big entertainment strips. For Puerto Pollensa family holidays, the appeal is practical: a manageable transfer from Palma and beaches within a couple of miles of town.

If you like to explore, the town works well as a base. Headlands, viewpoints and quieter coves lie within easy reach, and the Alcúdia ferry port is only about 6 miles away should you fancy a day trip by sea.

Where to stay and explore

Holidays to Pollensa in Majorca centre on Port de Pollença itself, the coastal town on the bay. Its nearest beaches, El Caló and Ca'n Cullerassa, are both about 2 miles out. Cala en Gossalba, roughly 6 miles away, makes a good half-day outing.

The Bocchoris archaeological site is less than a mile from town. The Punta de l'Avançada lighthouse is around 2 miles away, and the Mirador de la Creueta viewpoint is about 2.5 miles off on the road towards Formentor. Keep going and you reach the Far de Formentor lighthouse, about 8 miles from Port de Pollença and the best-known sight in the area. A hire car makes these trips easiest, and you can compare car hire on this page.
