Puerto Pollensa History

Once a small fishing village and Pollença's harbour, Puerto Pollensa is now a magnificent bay filled with yachts and fishing boats with a 1.5-mile seafront promenade. The views across the bay to rugged headlands are exceptionally beautiful. On the other side of the bay is the romantic pine walk - a pretty promenade sheltered by pine trees stretching round the horseshoe bay. It's one of the most beautiful places in Mallorca to take a stroll - starting east of the marina stretching towards the famous IllaD'Or Hotel.

Puerto Pollensa is host to long sandy beaches that curve around the bay and are divided by breakwaters and so are ideal for children. There are also a number of small, natural, sand and pebble beaches to explore. The atmosphere in Puerto Pollensa is relaxed with no loud discos or nightclubs, but a fine variety of open-air cafés, restaurants, boutiques and shops.

There is a wide range of restaurants to suit all tastes and budgets, including several of the best fish restaurants on the island.
