Thinking of holiday rental villa in Mallorca, why consider Pollensa?

If spending your vacation in Spain, especially in Mallorca island, is already a guarantee of an exceptional vacation thanks to its exceptional geography and climate, choosing a villa in Pollensa will make your vacation even more unforgettable.

In this article, a few non-exhaustive arguments are presented to underpin this assertion.

Short description of Pollensa

Pollensa, is a municipality in Spain on the island of Mallorca in the autonomous community of the Balearic Islands. It is located in the extreme northeast of the island and is part of the Serra de Tramuntana comarca.

The name can lead to confusion with the ancient town of Pollentia in the neighboring municipality of Alcudia.This town was founded around the 13th century, 6 km from the coast, to prevent pirate attacks.

Why rent a villa in Pollensa? That's probably the question currently popping into your head. The answer is very simple: we'll give it to you in 02 main points.

1. A touristic resort

Considered by many to be Mallorca's most beautiful region. This is where tourism began on the island. It was a favorite destination for painters and artists at the turn of the century, such as the painter Yvonne Mottet (1906-1968). painter, spent several periods in Pollença between 1964 and 1968 and drew inspiration from the area for his series of paintings on the themes of "Enfants et des Femmes au rocking-chair" (Children and Women in Rocking Chairs). The landscape here is highly varied: rugged mountains stand alongside solitary shores of deep blue water. The green of the pine trees contrasts with the grey of the limestone rocks. Pollença lies in the northeast corner of the island, close to Formentor and Alcudia. Pollença is a typical Majorcan town, a labyrinth of narrow, winding streets.

Each one has its own character and is well worth exploring. The old part of town offers quiet spots, untouched by tourism. In the center, you'll find a flight of 365 steps leading to the top of the Calvario. This climb is attempted by most visitors. At the foot of the steps is a charming square with cafés and restaurants. It is the proud owner of a Roman bridge spanning a small stream. The nearby square features a fountain dated 1827 and adorned with the image of a cockerel, the symbol of the town.

Pollensa, much quieter than the others parts of Mallorca, has beautiful beaches and places where you can relax. That is why it is one of the areas preferred by families and lovers to rent a holiday villa in Mallorca.

There are also places of exceptional beauty that we'd like to highlight here:

- Cap de Formentor and it cove

Cap de Formentor is the northernmost point of Mallorca, on the Formentor peninsula.

Cap de Formentor, like Pollensa, is also located on the northern most point of the Balearic Island Mallorca. Its highest point, Fumart, is 384m above sea level. It has many associated bays, including Cala Figuera, Cala Murta and Cala Pi de la Posada.

The Mallorcans also call the cape the Meeting point of the winds. The beauty of Formentor and its pine trees inspired the poet Miquel Costa i Llobera

The headland has a number of lookout and viewing points, including Mirador del Mal Pas, also named Mirador d'es Colomer after the small island Colomer. The panorama from Mallorca's Finisterre illuminates Menorca in the east, Cala Figuera in the west, and Alcudia with its sandy beach in the south. However, the view of the cliffs below is not for sufferers of vertigo as sea roars 300m below and the winds on the headland can be vicious.

In the southeastern part by Racó de Xot there is a cave with an opening into the sea. It has two entrances located about 8 meters over the surface of the water. The cave has a length of 90 meters and a height of 8 meters and is one of the most important sources of information for the prehistoric talaiot culture.
