If you’re planning your next Mediterranean getaway, look no further than the northern coast of Mallorca. From the charming town of Pollença to the crystal-clear waters of Cala Sant Vicenç and the dramatic landscapes of Cap de Formentor, this region offers a unique combination of natural beauty, rich culture, and peaceful relaxation. As a local holiday rental company based in Pollença, we’ve gathered our top reasons and tips for visiting this unforgettable part of the island.
- Discover Authentic Mallorcan Charm in Pollença
Pollença is a historic town full of character, where narrow cobbled streets lead to traditional squares and artisan shops. Don’t miss the Sunday market at Plaça Major or the famous 365 Calvari Steps that reward visitors with panoramic views of the town and surrounding mountains.
Tip: Stay in a traditional stone townhouse or a countryside villa for an authentic local experience.
- Breathtaking Beaches and Coves
Northern Mallorca boasts some of the most beautiful beaches on the island. From the family-friendly shores of Puerto Pollença to the hidden coves of Cala Murta and Cala Figuera, the area is perfect for swimming, snorkeling, and sunbathing.
Tip: Visit early in the morning or later in the afternoon to enjoy these spots with fewer crowds.
- Hiking and Nature at Its Best
For nature lovers, the Serra de Tramuntana mountains (a UNESCO World Heritage site) offer countless hiking and cycling routes. Whether you’re exploring the Boquer Valley or heading toward Lluc Monastery, the scenery will take your breath away.
Tip: Pack comfortable shoes and plenty of water—some trails can be challenging but are always rewarding.
- Local Cuisine and Culture
Northern Mallorca is known for its traditional cuisine. Try local dishes like tumbet, sobrassada, or freshly grilled seafood. In summer, the town of Pollença hosts a renowned classical music festival in the cloisters of the old convent.
Tip: Book a table at local restaurants in advance, especially during the high season.
- Peaceful, Family-Friendly Atmosphere
Unlike the more crowded areas of the island, the north remains relatively quiet, making it ideal for families or couples looking to unwind. Whether you’re staying near the sea or nestled in the countryside, you’ll find space to relax and reconnect.
