Port de Pollença: Location and surroundings of this property

Puerto Pollensa (Port de Pollença) is a tranquil resort right on the waters edge. Originally a fishing village, this cosmopolitan town has found the secret of balancing tradition and charm with natural growth and the tourist trade. One of the islands most loved destinations, Agatha Christie even chose Puerto Pollensa as the setting for her novel ‘’Death in Pollensa’’. Pollensa Bay with the Port to the left and Alcudia to the right, is a horseshoe shape offering natural shelter; its quiet, clean waters and golden sands make it ideal for families with young children, whilst also creating ideal conditions for practicing a myriad of sports – from boating to windsurfing and kite boarding to waterskiing and the 5 mile long bay road is well frequented by joggers, cyclists, skaters and Nordic walkers. The marina with its fabulous Yacht Club (Club Naútico) has over 650 berths. The pedestrianised seafront with its pavement cafes and restaurants is perfect for taking an evening stroll. It leads round to the well-known ‘Paseo Voramar’, better known as the ‘Pine Walk’, which runs literally at the water’s edge right along to the end of the beach in the direction of Formentor. Dotted with romantic restaurants, timeless fishermen’s cottages and prime real estate, all with views right across the bay, it has become a popular retreat for artists, politicians and writers alike. Flanked by the coast on one side and the start of the breathtaking Tramuntana mountain range on the other, Puerto Pollensa is the perfect location for enjoying both tranquil and sporting holidays.
