Located in the north of Mallorca, Pollença is one of the island's most charming and characterful towns. Just 10 minutes from Port de Pollença and Cala Sant Vicenç, and around 45 minutes from Palma and the international airport, it offers an exceptional combination of history, culture, nature and everyday comfort. Its unique atmosphere has made it one of Mallorca's most desirable places to live, whether as a permanent home or a holiday retreat.
Daily life in Pollença is centred around simple Mediterranean pleasures. Mornings begin with a coffee in the lively Plaça Major, a stroll through its cobbled streets or a visit to the popular Sunday market, where local farmers and artisans sell fresh produce, olive oil, cheeses and handmade goods. The town has a welcoming community feel, where tradition remains an important part of everyday life.
Surrounded by spectacular scenery, Pollença is a paradise for outdoor enthusiasts. The climb to the Calvari's 365 stone steps rewards visitors with breathtaking views over the surrounding countryside, while the nearby Puig de Maria offers peaceful hiking trails and panoramic vistas. The town also serves as one of the main gateways to the Tramuntana Mountains, making it especially popular with hikers and cyclists exploring Mallorca's most iconic landscapes.
Pollença appeals to families, artists, remote professionals and anyone looking for an authentic Mallorcan lifestyle enriched by a vibrant cultural scene. Throughout the year, concerts, art exhibitions and traditional celebrations such as Sant Antoni, La Patrona and the annual Wine Fair bring the community together and preserve the town's unique identity.
Among the local favourites are the hidden art galleries tucked away in quiet streets, the cafés surrounding Plaça Major and the peaceful terraces at the top of El Calvari, where residents pause to admire the views.
Living in Pollença means embracing a lifestyle where history, culture and nature come together, creating an inspiring place to enjoy Mallorca throughout every season.
