Pollença

Overview

Nestled in the rugged north of Mallorca, Pollença is a town where history breathes through ancient stones and time seems to slow. A world away from the fleeting trends of the coast, this inland sanctuary has long captivated a discerning international audience of artists, writers, and connoisseurs of culture. Its honey-toned townhouses and narrow, winding lanes invite exploration, leading to the vibrant heart of the town, the Plaça Major. Here, beneath the gaze of the 18th-century Nostra Senyora dels Àngels church, the Sunday market unfolds in a lively tapestry of local life, offering the perfect setting to enjoy a café con leche and observe the world from a shaded terrace. The town’s character is defined by its landmarks. The most iconic is the Calvari, a magnificent flight of 365 cypress-lined steps that ascends to a small chapel, rewarding the determined with breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding countryside. History is etched into the very fabric of Pollença, from the enduring Pont Romà, a Roman bridge that still carries traffic over the Torrent de Sant Jordi, to the Puig de Maria, a nearby hilltop crowned with a 14th-century monastery offering serene seclusion and stunning vistas. For an evening of refined dining, consider the innovative cuisine at 365 at the Son Brull Hotel & Spa, or the authentic Mallorcan flavours of Can Costa in the heart of the old town. For those seeking an extended stay, Pollença offers a curated selection of exclusive accommodations. The Son Brull Hotel & Spa, a former monastery transformed into a luxury retreat, offers a sublime blend of history and contemporary design. For a more intimate experience, Azul Stays provides a portfolio of private villas that offer the ultimate in privacy and comfort. To explore the dramatic coastline and hidden coves of the north, a day out on the water with Bluebnc Yachting is an unforgettable experience, revealing the island’s beauty from a unique perspective. And for discovering the winding mountain roads of the Serra de Tramuntana, an exotic vehicle from Azul Cars provides the perfect blend of performance and style.
