Puerto Pollensa is a beautiful unspoiled port on the Mediterranean Sea. Its clear waters are shallow for safe swimming for children, and there are many water sports available. There are also four small coves that can be explored. Its palm-lined pine walk promenade has a marina, shops, cafes, and restaurants. Locals and visitors love to stroll there especially in the early evenings.

One luxury four star hotel is ILLA D’OR, which overlooks that walk promenade. The hotel has a classical style but also modern amenities such as air conditioning and satellite TV in its 119 elegant rooms. There are two swimming pools including an inside heated one. There is also a Jacuzzi, a sauna, a tennis court, a gymnasium, a Health and Beauty center, spacious terraces, gardens, and much more. Its La Terrasa is open in the summer and is a gourmet restaurant with excellent food and spectacular views. Breakfast is a buffet with a dietary corner, if needed, and you can sit out on the patio at the sea’s edge. Lunch is a la carte, and there is a large selection of dishes at dinner. The lounges offer a variety of entertainment and internet access. Excellent service and the visitors’ comfort is of prime concern in all areas of the hotel, and everything is spotless. You can also expect to find a chocolate on your pillow!

Another luxury place to stay is the five star BARCELO FORMENTOR HOTEL in nearby Formentor. It is in the center of landscaped gardens that grow their own flowers, limes, lemons, and melons. The hotel is only 300 meters from the beach and offers spectacular views of Formentor Bay. Guests can enjoy an outdoor pool, a children’s pool, a gym with fitness equipment, a sauna, a hot tub, beauty and massage treatments, laundry facilities, and much more. There is free parking, a doorman or doorwoman, and a concierge desk which can arrange for boat and other excursions. There is a complimentary abundant breakfast buffet, and you will be greeted by a large fruit basket in your room that lasts for days. This hotel is due to undergo a multi-million Euro makeover even though it is quite livable currently, has an old world charm, and the staff is very polite and cheerful.
