When we first arrived in Puerto Pollensa, it didn’t take long to understand why this coastal town is one of Mallorca’s most loved destinations. Nestled between the Tramuntana mountains and the sparkling Bay of Pollensa, the whole place gives off a feeling of calm, understated luxury — the kind of spot where time slows down, the sun always seems to shine, and the sea breeze never stops rolling in.
Whether you’re travelling as a couple looking for a romantic seaside escape, bringing the whole family for a sun-soaked adventure, or planning a group getaway with friends, choosing where to stay in Puerto Pollensa can really shape your experience. And with so many unique areas — from the relaxed Pine Walk promenade to the vibrant marina, and from the peaceful residential backstreets to stunning beachfront villas — we found that each part of town offers something slightly different.
In this guide, I’ll walk you through the best areas to stay in Puerto Pollensa based on our own experiences, and recommend some of the most beautiful villas and holiday homes that truly stand out. Whether you’re seeking tranquillity, convenience, views, or a bit of everything, there’s a perfect corner of Puerto Pollensa waiting for you.
I’ll be honest — there’s something about Puerto Pollensa that completely captures your heart from the moment you arrive. It’s no wonder even legendary author Agatha Christie found inspiration here, penning her short story Problems at Pollensa Bay after staying in the area. And after spending time soaking up the peaceful atmosphere, it’s easy to see why she was drawn in.
For me, Puerto Pollensa has become one of those rare places that strikes the perfect balance: laid-back yet lively, scenic yet welcoming, and packed with character. It’s not only a brilliant base for exploring the local area — from its golden beaches to its mountain trails — but also an ideal launchpad for discovering the rest of northern Mallorca, including nearby gems like Alcúdia and Pollensa Old Town.
So if you're considering where to stay in Puerto Pollensa for your next getaway, I’ve put together a guide based on my own time here — from the most picturesque areas to the best villas and locations to suit every kind of traveller. Whether you’re dreaming of lazy beach mornings or active afternoons exploring Mallorca’s wild side, this guide will help you settle into the perfect spot to enjoy it all.
If there’s one place I keep coming back to in Puerto Pollensa, it’s the Pine Walk. It’s hands-down one of the most picturesque places on the island — a peaceful promenade where the sound of the sea mingles with the gentle rustle of palm trees overhead. Strolling along this iconic walkway, you’re treated to stunning views of the Pollensa Bay, with the Tramuntana mountains painting the perfect backdrop.
This area is ideal if you're dreaming of somewhere scenic, calm, and close to everything. I love pausing for a drink at one of the cafés with front-row views of the Mediterranean, or grabbing dinner as the sun sets over the water. You’re also right next to D’Albercuix Beach, one of my favourite spots for a laid-back beach day with soft sands and shallow, swimmable waters.
Where to stay: If you want to base yourself here, Casa Voramor is a total gem. I stayed in this three-bedroom villa with my family, and the location couldn't have been better — literally right on the Pine Walk. With two terraces and a rear patio, the space is airy, light-filled, and perfect for anyone looking to soak up Puerto Pollensa’s relaxed coastal lifestyle.
When I’m in the mood for a bit more space and serenity — but still want to be within easy reach of the action — Siller is my go-to. Tucked away on the outskirts of Puerto Pollensa, this quiet residential area offers beautiful modern villas and a sense of calm that’s hard to beat.
I particularly enjoy staying here when I’m travelling with a group. It’s only a three-minute drive (or a leisurely 20-minute stroll) from the centre, so you’re never too far from the restaurants, beach, and shops — but you also have that extra breathing room that makes all the difference.
Where to stay: One of the best places to stay in Siller is Villa Ani. This classic-meets-Mallorcan-style home has four bedrooms, sleeps up to eight, and is ideal for families or friends travelling together. The upper terrace is perfect for evening cocktails, and the private pool and garden made our stay feel like a true retreat.
If being steps away from golden sands and turquoise waters is your idea of heaven, then staying near Puerto Pollensa Beach is a no-brainer. This is the town’s main beach, and it’s honestly one of the best on the island — long, wide, and clean, with shallow, warm waters that are perfect for swimming.
I love spending long afternoons here reading, paddleboarding, or just watching the world go by. There’s plenty of space even during the busier summer months, and if you’re into water sports, this beach is a top spot for sailing and windsurfing.
Where to stay: If you're looking for something romantic and close to the beach, Apartment Can Sivella is ideal. It’s just a short walk from the shoreline and has everything you need for a relaxing stay: a covered terrace, al fresco dining area, and plenty of natural light. It’s cosy and perfect for couples or solo travellers wanting a beachfront escape.
If you prefer somewhere a little more low-key but still well-connected, the Llenaire area is worth considering. Located just outside the centre of Puerto Pollensa, it offers that sweet mix of seaside peace with easy access to town. I’ve stayed here a few times with friends and family, and it always strikes the perfect balance.
You’ll find some great beachfront bars and restaurants here, and it’s also within walking distance (about 20 minutes) or a short drive to the heart of Puerto Pollensa. The sunsets over the bay here are something else — I highly recommend grabbing a drink at a seaside terrace as the sky turns golden.
Where to stay: Villa Nueve is an excellent option if you're travelling with a larger group. This spacious five-bedroom villa sleeps up to ten people and is less than 750 metres from the beach. It has a private pool, outdoor barbecue, and even a children’s sports area, making it ideal for family getaways with a touch of luxury.
Tucked right into the centre of Puerto Pollensa is one of its best-kept secrets: La Gola Nature Park. It’s a quiet oasis of wetlands and wildlife, perfect for birdwatchers, nature lovers, or anyone needing a peaceful break from the beach scene. I love walking here early in the morning — the calm, the birdsong, and the unique landscape are such a refreshing change of pace.
Over 60 species of birds call this area home, and it’s a unique mix of salt and freshwater thanks to the merging rivers from Siller and Gommar. Even if you’re not a birder, it’s worth wandering through for a slice of green in the heart of the town.
Where to stay: Casa Canito is one of my top picks near the park. With three bedrooms, a shared pool, and a sleek, modern design, it’s ideal for families or small groups who want nature on their doorstep — while still being a short stroll from the beach and centre of town.
The pristine coastal town of Puerto Pollensa offers much to be desired in its areas and locations. From its more inland modern areas away from the hustle and bustle to its locales in its very heart amidst the action at all times, Puerto Pollensa truly offers variety for those thinking of the best places to stay in Mallorca.
