Pollensa Villas to Rent

Our Pollensa villas to rent collection is the largest of our northern Mallorca destinations — a mix of finca-style houses, town villas and larger group properties in and around the inland market town of Pollensa. Most come with a private pool, and the range runs from smaller villas for couples right through to larger properties sleeping twelve, priced from around €55 per night. Pollensa sister-village of Puerto Pollensa sits five to six kilometres north on the coast, and Cala d'Or on the south-east coast rounds out the wider Mallorca collection.

Pollensa villas from a family-run agency

Prestige Villas Spain is a family business established in 2004, originally specialising in the Costa Brava and Costa Blanca. In the 2010s we expanded into Mallorca — sometimes spelt Majorca — starting with Cala d'Or on the south-east coast and growing to cover the north of the island, including Pollensa town and Puerto Pollensa.

We work with established local partners who know each villa on the ground. When you book a Pollensa villa with us, you deal directly with one team throughout — not through Airbnb, Booking.com or another platform — and there's no mark-up on the nightly rate. It's the kind of service that's harder to find as the villa-rental market gets more automated, and it's a big part of why a lot of our guests come back year after year.

Where Pollensa sits on Mallorca

Pollensa is an inland market town in the north of Mallorca, about 55km from Palma airport. It sits at the foot of the Serra de Tramuntana mountains — Mallorca's UNESCO-listed limestone landscape — and around five to six kilometres inland from its bayside sister-village of Puerto Pollensa. The two are separate settlements with distinct characters: Pollensa is the market town with the church, the Plaça Major and the Sunday market; Puerto Pollensa is the resort with the beaches, the Pine Walk promenade and the seafront restaurants.

That geography means you get flexibility from a Pollensa base. The beach is a short drive rather than on your doorstep, but so is Cap de Formentor, the Tramuntana mountain drives, the market town of Alcúdia, and the walking trails that make the north of the island so distinctive. For visitors who want the character of a working Mallorcan town rather than a resort feel, Pollensa is the pick.

Choosing a Pollensa villa

Pollensa villas with a private pool

Most of our Pollensa villas have a private pool. That's the default expectation for a Mallorca villa holiday and it's built into the way the properties are laid out — pool, terrace, outdoor dining space, and a short drive to the beach or the mountains. If a private pool is a hard requirement, we list this clearly on each villa's page; if you'd also consider the south-east coast, our Cala d'Or villas with private pool shortlist is worth a look.

Luxury villas in Pollensa

Our higher-end Pollensa properties combine larger private pools, more generous outdoor space, better positioning either close to the town centre or on the outskirts overlooking the surrounding countryside, and higher-specification finishes throughout. Luxury villas here suit group holidays, milestone family trips and multi-generation stays — and, as with everything else in our collection, at the actual nightly rate rather than a platform-marked-up one.

Large Pollensa villas

Our largest Pollensa villas sleep up to twelve — good for multi-generation family holidays, group get-togethers or two families sharing. Large villas here are limited in supply relative to the smaller houses — if you need one for July or August, book earlier rather than later. If you're planning a bigger party — say fourteen or sixteen across two nearby villas — get in touch and we'll suggest pairings.

Family villas in Pollensa

Pollensa suits families who want the character of a Mallorcan market town alongside the flexibility of a beach a short drive away. The town centre is walkable and safe, the Sunday market and Plaça Major café culture give little ones a genuine sense of place, and Puerto Pollensa's shallow sheltered beaches sit just down the road for beach days. Family features vary per villa (fenced pool, cot, high chair, ground-floor bedrooms) and we list what's available on each villa's page. Our family villas in Spain shortlist collects the best family-friendly properties across all our destinations.

The town of Pollensa

Pollensa is small enough to cover on foot in a morning but rewards several days of proper exploration. The Plaça Major is the centre of town life — café culture, the Sunday-morning market, and a rotating cast of restaurants and bars that stay busy from breakfast through late evening. The 18th-century church of Nostra Senyora dels Àngels dominates one side of the square, and behind it rise the Calvari steps — 365 stone steps up to a small chapel with a panoramic view over the town and the mountains.

Away from the square, the streets are narrow and largely traffic-free, with a mix of independent boutiques, small tapas bars, and traditional Mallorcan houses. The town's calendar peaks in early August with the Festes de la Patrona, marked by the traditional Moros i Cristians re-enactment through the streets.

Beyond the town

Pollensa's location makes it one of the best bases on Mallorca for exploring beyond the town itself.

Puerto Pollensa, five to six kilometres north, is where you'll spend most beach days — two long beaches, sheltered shallow water, the Pine Walk promenade and the seafood restaurants along it. Cap de Formentor extends further north into dramatic clifftop drives and the remote cove at Cala Figuera. The Tramuntana mountain villages — Sóller, Fornalutx, Deià, Valldemossa — sit within an hour's drive along some of the most scenic roads in the Balearics. Alcúdia's old walled town is fifteen minutes south, and the beaches of the Bay of Alcúdia run down from there.

Eating out

Pollensa punches well above its weight on the food front. The Plaça Major concentrates most of the tourist-facing restaurants, but the smaller streets running off it host some of the best food in the town — small tapas bars, family-run restaurants and a few destination places worth booking ahead. Manzanas y Peras, tucked in near the Calvari steps, has a long-standing reputation for creative tapas in a tiny room; several restaurants around the square specialise in the traditional Mallorcan and Catalan cooking the region does best. For seafood, Puerto Pollensa's Pine Walk is a short drive away.

Getting to Pollensa

Pollensa is about 55km from Palma de Mallorca airport (PMI), reached by direct seasonal flights from most UK regional airports. The drive from the airport takes 55–65 minutes depending on traffic. Car hire is the most flexible option for a Pollensa villa holiday — you'll want to get to the beach at Puerto Pollensa, drive the Tramuntana passes, and reach Cap de Formentor and the surrounding villages. Taxis handle direct airport transfers if you'd rather not drive, and there are limited public bus connections from Palma.

Booking a Pollensa villa

You book directly with us, not through a platform. Prestige Villas Spain has been arranging Spanish villa holidays since 2004 and we work with local partners on the ground for every villa we represent — no Airbnb, Booking.com or aggregator in between, no platform mark-up on the nightly rate, and one real person to call before, during and after your stay. The price you see on each villa's page is the price you pay.

Peak Pollensa villa demand runs from mid-June through August, with the larger houses and best-value villas often booked six to nine months ahead. May, June and September are excellent for cooler weather, easier flights and better rates. If a specific villa, week or a particular sleeping arrangement matters, book earlier rather than later — enquire through the villa's page and we'll come back to you with availability and confirm pricing.
