Port de Pollensa, Puerto Pollenca
This resort is in the far northeastern corner of Mallorca, diagonally opposite Palma, but it takes little more than an hour to drive there from the airport.
The curving, sandy beach is well served with bars, restaurants, hotels and shops, mostly along one side of a pedestrianised main street, facing the sea. It is developed, but not huge and sprawling, like its noisier, brasher cousins in the south west of the island. You can eat from a range of Indian, Chinese and burger bars but there are relatively few restaurants with a Spanish or Mallorcan menu.
Most of the development is centred around the port area, where you will find a wide variety of water sports and boat trips. This resort is particularly suitable for families with small children as the water is shallow, warm and sheltered. Don't expect to find water parks, or karaoke bars here. There is one disco, called Chivas, but most of the evening entertainment is based in the hotels or the local restaurants. The surrounding countryside is spectacular. The mountains sheltering the bay tot the east form the Sierra de Tramuntara range and are popular with walkers and bird watchers. The views from here back down to the bay are stunning.
