Residential Spain

Pollença sits at the northern tip of Mallorca, framed by the Serra de Tramuntana mountains and the Bay of Pollença. It is one of the island’s most culturally intact towns, with a medieval core of ochre stone buildings, a weekly Sunday market that has run for centuries, and a reputation as a long-standing artists’ colony. The town retains a distinctly local character that separates it from the more commercialised resort areas of the south and east.

Daily life centres on the Plaça Major, with cafés such as Café Espanyol and a strong restaurant scene including Clivia and La Tetera. The beach at Port de Pollença is a ten-minute drive. Cala Sant Vicenç, one of Mallorca’s most sheltered coves, is under fifteen minutes by car.

Palma de Mallorca is approximately 55 kilometres south, around 50 minutes by car via the MA-13 motorway. Palma Airport handles direct flights to most major European cities, with journey times from the airport to Pollença of roughly one hour. There is no rail connection to the town, making a car essential. The nearby port at Alcúdia offers ferry services to Ciutadella in Menorca during summer months.
