Residential Pollença Spain

Pollença sits at the northern tip of Mallorca, framed by the Serra de Tramuntana mountains and the calm waters of the Bay of Pollença. It is one of the island’s most culturally intact towns, with a medieval street grid, a Roman bridge, and a weekly Sunday market that has anchored local life for centuries. The town has long attracted artists and intellectuals, giving it a quieter, more considered character than the resort-heavy south of the island.

The Sunday market on Plaça Major is a genuine local institution. Café Espanyol and La Font are reliable spots for daily coffee and meals. The beach at Port de Pollença is a ten-minute drive. Cala Sant Vicenç, one of Mallorca’s most sheltered coves, is fifteen minutes by car. Alcúdia’s walled old town is twenty minutes away.

Palma de Mallorca is approximately 55 kilometres south, reachable in under an hour by car via the Ma-13 motorway. Palma Airport handles direct flights to most major European cities year-round, with journey time from Pollença of roughly 50 minutes by car. There is no rail connection to the north of the island, so a car is essential for daily life. Ferry services from Palma connect to Barcelona, Valencia, and Ibiza.
