Famous for its dramatic landscapes and crystal-clear coves, Mallorca gives you a choice of two very different island holidays. To the north, around Pollensa and Puerto Pollensa, the Serra de Tramuntana mountains drop into pine-fringed bays — quieter, scenic, ideal for walking and beach days. The south-east, centred on Cala d'Or, strings a chain of whitewashed coves along a sun-soaked coast popular with families. Most of our Mallorca villas have a private pool.

Mallorca villas from a family-run agency
We're a family business established in 2004, originally specialising in the Costa Brava and Costa Blanca. In the 2010s we expanded into Mallorca — starting with Cala d'Or on the south-east coast and growing to cover the north of the island around Pollensa and Puerto Pollensa. Most of our Mallorca villas have a private pool. The range runs from compact two-bedroom villas to larger pool villas sleeping up to twelve, suiting couples, families and larger groups alike.
We work with established local partners in each region who know each villa on the ground. When you book with us, you deal with one team before, during and after your stay — not through Airbnb, Booking.com or another platform.
The island at a glance
Mallorca is the largest of Spain's Balearic Islands, sitting in the western Mediterranean east of mainland Spain. For a villa holiday, the island splits into two very different halves. The south-east — anchored by Cala d'Or — is whitewashed Ibizan-style architecture, narrow sandy coves that reach right into the village, and a relaxed family pace. The north — around Pollensa and Puerto Pollensa — sits beneath the limestone wall of the Serra de Tramuntana, the island's UNESCO-listed cultural landscape, with longer beaches, deeper bays and a quieter, more inland feel.
Where our villas are
Our Mallorca portfolio covers three destinations across both halves of the island.
Cala d'Or, on the south-east coast about 60km from Palma airport, is the largest of our Mallorca destinations. Shaped in the 1930s by Ibizan artist and urban planner Josep Costa Ferrer, it's a coordinated, low-rise village wrapped around a smart marina and a chain of small sandy coves. Cala Gran, Caló d'es Pou, Cala Esmeralda and Cala Egos all reach right into the village, which makes it easy to walk between sand and street. Browse Cala d'Or villas.
Pollensa, in the north, is an inland market town in the shadow of the Tramuntana mountains, about 55km from Palma airport. Less developed than the bigger resorts, Pollensa keeps a strong sense of local life — café culture around the Placa Major, the Sunday-morning market, narrow stone streets — while sitting around five to six kilometres from the beach at Puerto Pollensa. Browse Pollensa villas.
Puerto Pollensa, on the north coast, is the bayside resort below Pollensa town, about 60km from Palma. Two long beaches — Pollensa Beach and Albercutx — back onto the famous Pine Walk promenade, with sheltered shallow water that suits families and seafood restaurants tucked along the seafront. Browse Puerto Pollensa villas.
Mallorca's beaches
Mallorca's beaches divide along the same north/south split. In the south-east, Cala d'Or and the neighbouring villages cluster around small, sheltered coves with white sand and shallow water — pretty rather than spacious, but ideal for younger children and lazy days. The shallow water at Caló d'es Pou makes it a particularly easy base for families with little ones. In the north, the bays around Puerto Pollensa are far larger: Albercutx and Pollensa Beach both run for a kilometre or more, with watersports, longer walks and the option to find quieter stretches at either end. For something different, the Cap de Formentor peninsula north of Puerto Pollensa drives out to dramatic clifftop views and a remote pebble cove at Cala Figuera.
Eating out in Mallorca
Mallorcan food has its own character within Spanish cuisine. Sobrassada (cured pork spread with paprika) and ensaïmada (a spiral pastry dusted with icing sugar) are island specialities you'll find in every village bakery and tapas bar. Tumbet — a layered ratatouille of aubergine, peppers and potato — is the classic summer dish. Pa amb oli, rough bread with tomato, oil and salt, is the standard merienda. The island also has its own wine region, Binissalem, producing reds from the indigenous Manto Negro grape. Restaurants near Puerto Pollensa's Pine Walk and Cala d'Or's marina cover the full range from beachside tapas to Michelin-recommended fine dining.
Arriving in Mallorca
Mallorca has one main airport — Palma de Mallorca (PMI) — with direct seasonal flights from many UK regional airports. Approximate transfer times from the airport to our resorts: Cala d'Or about 60 minutes, Pollensa and Puerto Pollensa 55–65 minutes. Car hire is the most flexible option for exploring the island; taxis are straightforward for direct transfers; public buses connect Palma with the larger resorts but with longer journey times.

Frequently Asked Questions
When is the best time to visit Mallorca?
Mallorca's villa season runs from late April through to October. Peak heat and crowds fall in July and August, with daytime temperatures often above 30°C and busier beaches. May, June and September offer the best balance of warmth, sea temperature and quieter villages — daytime highs around 22–27°C, sea around 18–24°C, and the resorts fully open but less pressed. April and October are quieter still and ideal for walking in the Tramuntana, but the sea is cooler and some seasonal beach businesses are reduced. Winter villa rentals are possible but most visitors come for the summer warmth.
Is Cala d'Or or Pollensa better for a villa holiday?
It depends on what you want from the trip. Cala d'Or, on the south-east coast, is the more compact and family-coordinated option — whitewashed architecture, small sandy coves walking distance from the village, a smart marina, and good restaurants close at hand. It suits families with younger children, couples wanting a sheltered base, and anyone who values being able to walk everywhere. Pollensa, in the north, is the broader, scenic-Mallorca experience — an inland market town with strong local life, the Tramuntana mountains close by, longer beaches at Puerto Pollensa five minutes away, and a quieter overall feel. It suits walkers, food-led trips, older children, and anyone who wants more variety in a day out. Both work well for villa holidays with private pools.
Which part of Mallorca is best for villa rentals?
For sheltered coves, family-friendly walking villages and a coordinated resort feel, head to Cala d'Or on the south-east. For long beaches, mountain backdrops and a quieter, more authentic Mallorcan atmosphere, the north coast around Pollensa and Puerto Pollensa is the better choice. Most of our Mallorca villas have a private pool, which means even at peak season you have your own space outside the busier beach hours. If you're undecided, Cala d'Or is the more popular default. If you want to explore more of the island, the north offers easier access to the Tramuntana, the Cap de Formentor peninsula and the major heritage towns.
