Puerto Pollensa


Puerto Pollensa is situated in the north east corner of Mallorca, surrounded by a backdrop of mountains to the north and the crystal-clear waters of the Bay of Pollensa to the south. It is largely unspoilt and very picturesque.

The Parc Residential Bellresguard apartments are set in their own landscaped grounds with a mixture of gardens, ponds and pools all located within 100 metres of the beach and the famous Pollensa Pine Walk.

 
The Parc is ideally placed for couples and families who are looking for a traditional seaside holiday with child friendly sandy beaches, beautiful Mediterranean countryside and the added attraction of numerous local bars and restaurants, all within walking distance of the apartment.
 
Long, lazy summer days may be spent on the terrace around the pool or at one of the many beaches or simply in the enclosed garden whilst relaxing and enjoying the clean island air and beautiful mountain vista.
 

Each Wednesday morning throughout the year Puerto Pollensa holds its weekly market amongst the outdoor cafés in the old town square. Here you’ll find a wide variety of fresh fruit and vegetables, all locally grown and sold by the farmers, together with local arts and crafts from around the island

 

There is a wide variety of activities on offer including boat trips, sailing, windsurfing, scuba diving, hiking, walking (perhaps through the Boquer Valley to the beach at Cala Boquer) and the ever popular cycling - in the mountains and around the local countryside. Pollensa golf club is just ten kilometres away and welcomes all visitors.

 

If you decide to rent a car during your stay then there are plenty of places to visit for day trips. We recommend Cala San Vicente, Alcudia, the Monastery at Lluc, Valldemosa, Soller, Deia or the cosmopolitan city of Palma. There are very good bus services to many parts of the island which run regularly during the summer season.

Pollensa

The ancient town of Pollensa is transformed each Sunday morning when Placa Major becomes a hive of activity as the magnificent weekly market reclaimes the square and fills any space not otherwise occupied by the delightful outdoor cafés .

 

The 365 cypress-lined steps, locally known as El Calvari or The Way of the Cross, leading to the chapel at the top are not to be missed either for the panoramic views across the Bay of Pollensa visible from the top or for the much deserved café con leche waiting at the bottom!

Formentor

The spectacular cliffs and secluded coves of the Formentor Peninsular are just a few minutes ride from the Port. Take the glass-bottomed ferry for the 30 minute sea journey to the beach at Formentor with its crystal-clear waters and fine sandy bay.

 

Or simply follow the Formentor road through the pines and over the mountains whilst enjoying the magnificent Mediterranean views. On a clear day from the lighthouse at the Cap de Formentor you can see Menorca just twenty five nautical miles due east.

Lluc

A short distance from Pollensa and set in the stunning scenery of the Tramuntana Mountains lies the Monastery at Lluc. This is the religious centre of Mallorca and pilgrims have been coming here and to see the statuette of the Virgin (La Moreneta) for over 700 years. Each year in August there is an overnight pilgrimage from Palma to Lluc.
