Many of the properties have preserved their rustic charm but benefit from the modern comforts you’d expect in a stylish property.

Pollenca

A trip to Pollenca is like stepping back in time. Medieval winding lanes lined with attractive stone houses lead on to Placa Major – the quaint main square where you can marvel at the 18th century Nostra Senyora Del Angels church with its remarkable rose window, or relax in one of the many bars and restaurants. For a pleasurable shopping experience there’s plenty of boutique shops selling locally hand-crafted goods, ceramics and jewellery and a lovely market on Sundays. It is here you can truly appreciate an authentic Mallorcan town.

Puerto Pollenca

For marvellous sea-views and a relaxed take on Mallorcan island life, head on over to Puerto Pollenca. Featuring an oyster-shaped bay framed by a stretch of glorious white sand and the imposing Tramuntana mountains as a backdrop, this small town benefits from an amazing location. Follow the shoreline to the popular Pinewalk area, taking in the many bars and restaurants along the way or lose yourself amongst the inviting boutiques where you can pick up leather goods and locally crafted souvenirs. Market day is Wednesday. Finally, head on over to the elegant marina and marvel at the array of smart leisure boats and yachts. You can still see some traditional 'llaüts' used by the Mallorcans for catching fish.

Apart from stunning properties for the whole family to luxuriate in, Puerto Pollenca has two beaches. Just south of the Marina, Pollenca Beach itself is an expanse of golden sand offering watersports of every kind and sun loungers for pure relaxation. Then there’s Albercutx, which is great for children, thanks to its shallow water and natural shade. For more sea-faring fun, you can also hire a sailboat from the marina. Or, take a stroll around the lovely beaches and coves at Cala San Vicente. A traditional little fishing village, this is probably one of the least touristy places on the island. With three glorious sandy beaches and fantastic rocky coves – perfect for snorkelling – it’s a real retreat.
