Advantages: Peaceful Disadvantages: Distance from airport
If you are of the opinion, (which I was I must admit), that Majorca was a place frequented by only the young and noisy then think again. On the northern part of the island is a resort called PuertoPollensa which bears no resemblance to the lively southern part of the island. It is heaven on earth. A lovely, peaceful resort which has not seen that much development and retains a very spanish feel to it. Set on a beautiful long, white, sandy beach with the clear blue water on one side and mountains on the other, it truly gives a diferent perspective to Majorca. No discos, just friendly little restaurants, bars and cafes. Ideal for families with younger children and for couples looking for a romantic spot.!!
Downside is that it is an hour's drive from the airport and with many of the island's 'tourist' attractions situated in ...
Advantages: Very family friendly, good range of restaurants Disadvantages: None!
We went here in November 1998 and it snowed, so no summer-time experience here ;)
It is a very pretty port, with a lovely marina and a great variety of restaurants and shops (yes, even in November!) We stayed along the Pine Walk in a privately owned apartment (www.clubpollensa.co.uk) which is a very picturesque setting. The beach along this end of the town isn't very big, but it does shelve gently and is lovely white sand, so it's ideal for children, there is a man-made beach on the opposite side of the marina, though this is quite a walk from Pine Walk.
Very much "Spanish" :o)

After a chilly first visit, we decided to give PuertoPollensa a summertime visit in June 2004.
Once again, we stayed in a privately owned property, this time a huge apartment at the Pine Walk side of town.
The resort had ...
Advantages: Great beach, very attractive, good shopping Disadvantages: Poor for sight seeing, long transfer, no trendy nightlife
Puerta Pollensa is about 75 minutes transfer from the airport and is located in the extreme north east of Majorca.
The town itself is notable for its extensive harbour with lots of local fishing boats, holiday boats and some bigger cruisers. It also has an excellent beach stretching towards Alcudia. The beach is clean and sandy. It has hamacas and parasols all the way along (2000 charge was 1300 ptas for two hamacas and a parasol per day. You can of course use the beach free of charge. The sea at PP is excellent because the resort is sheltered and therefore the sea is quite calm. It also gets a good breeze which means it is often the coolest place in the resort. For swimming and for childrens safety the whole seafront is very good. The beach also has resources for hobie cats, wind surfing, and the banana.
From the harbour boats are ...
