Puerto Pollensa majorca

The resort of Puerto Pollensa lies 58km north east of Palma, and is one of the furthest resorts from the airport, as a consequence transfer time is around 2 hours.

The original Roman town of Pollensa can still be found 5km inland from the port (Puerto) and is worth a visit whilst you are there.

The bay of Pollensa is home to a multitude of luxury yachts, as well as a mixture of local fishing boats. There is a number of small natural beaches in the area, as well as a recently extended artificial one. all offering the usual selection of facilities. The inviting shallow waters make it especially popular for families with small children.

There is a good selection of shops, bars and pavement cafes to choose from, and new for the 2002 season a Burger King has now opened on the sea front. In complete contrast, the resort boasts several high class fish restaurants, which are claimed to be the best on the island.

The main feature of the resort is without a doubt the dramatic mountain range that surround and shelter the town.

For the more active, there are numerous walks into the hills from where the views are stunning. But before you venture into the mountains be sure to take a local guide book with you which documents the walk, and tells you everything you need to know.

The resort has little in the way of family type attractions and is more suited for those seeking a quiet relaxing break.

Tourists have been coming to Puerto Pollensa since the 1920's and the hotels on the sea front still retain an old fashioned air, having been built long before the concrete boom of the 1960's developments. Today the town attracts mainly British families looking for something more than the hussle and bussle of the south coast resorts.

Evening entertainment is mainly hotel based, don't expect loud music and non stop karaoke. If that is what you are looking for then Puerto Pollensa is not for you.
