Welcome to Puerto Pollensa Tourist Attractions
In away of tourist attractions there is very little in Puerto Pollensa, which is located along the north west coast of Majorca / Mallorca. Majorca and the rest of the Balearic islands lay off the south east coast of mainland Spain in the Mediterranean Sea, its sister islands are Ibiza and Menorca. It is a lovely holiday destination, throughout the summer peak season you will find many British and other European tourists vacating to the resort and the island.
Majorca / Mallorca as an island is beautiful with many things to do and see, natural and man made. In the bay of Pollensa you will find a multitude of luxury yachts, which are an attraction in themselves. As well as a mixture of local colourful fishing boats, which unfortunately in the recent years are now in a minority. In the area there are a number of small natural beaches, plus the recently extended artificial one, they all offer the usual selection of facilities including sunbeds, parasols, toilets, bars, cafes, restaurants and water sports. The warm and shallow waters of the bay make it especially popular with families with small children.
There are natural attractions such as the main feature of this fabulous resort - the Sierra de Tramuntana mountain range that surrounds and shelters the town. For those hikers or just active tourists, you will find numerous walks into these hills from which the views back over the bay are stunning. You can get local guide books which document the walks and tell you everything you will need to know, this is highly recommended even for the experienced hiker.
The old Roman town of Pollensa is certainly worth a visit too, it can be found 5km inland from the port, with many of the narrow streets dating back to the 18th Century. The old town of Pollensa now actually lies in the municipality of Alcudia.
If you are looking for an active holiday, other than the beaches and hotel facilities there is little else to do in Puerto Pollensa, this resort is perfect for those wanting to relax and chill on the beach or round the pool for their holiday, or maybe go for a walk in the mountains but other then the walking and watersports you will find little other activities. For those of you who do want days out at waterparks or go karting etc you will find all of that at Hidropark less than a 10 minute drive in the resort of Alcudia.
The nightlife in Puerto Pollensa is quiet. You will find many restaurants, including several high class fish restaurants located along the sea front - which are meant to be the best on the island. There are also a few quiet bars - Puerto Pollensa is perfect for those families or people who fancy a nice, relaxing meal and a drink under the stars and watch the world go by. If you are looking to party the night away in loud bars with non stop karaoke then this resort is not for you. However if you just fancy having a party one night on your holiday then Alcudia resort is a lot louder is is less than 10 minutes drive away. Most entertaining nightlife in Puerto Pollensa is Hotel based.
Mallorca / Majorca is such a magnificent island you would be mad to visit for your holiday and not explore it! and what better way than in your own rented car?! Hiring a car for a couple of days and going exploring is a brilliant day out, some areas on the island have such beauty that it will take your breath away! The little towns and villages are all easily accessible with decent roads throughout the island. Mopeds are also another means for travelling and exploring the island. These are also available for hire from as little as around 15 euros per day, but you should take extra precautions in Mallorca / Majorca on the roads with a lot of holiday makers frequently involved in accidents because they are either drinking or generally excited and having fun on their holiday that they aren’t taking due care.
If vacating in Puerto Pollensa, then I am sure you will have a fabulous holiday and find plenty or as little as you want to do!
