Pollensa is the picture perfect district of Mallorca, regarded as the cultural centre of the north of the island! When people picture Mallorca, they might not know it, but often what they’re picturing is Pollensa. Endless sandy beaches and roads lined with palm trees set against the stunning backdrop of the Tramuntana mountain range. The diverse landscape, from fertile valleys to steep mountains and gently undulating hills and of course the beaches which seem to stretch endlessly to the horizon, is just one of the reasons that so many great artists have chosen to call this island home throughout the last century.
This property is within a residential area of the village of Cala Sant Vicenç, offering a range of restaurants and amenities as well as the beautiful inlets of Cala Molins, Cala Clara and Cala Carbo. It is also a short drive from the town of Pollensa, which will provide your fill of authentic Spanish culture with its 17th and 18th century houses, cobbled, winding streets and traditional markets every Sunday! Cafés, bars and restaurants are scattered in amongst traditional shops and large sections of the town are pedestrianised. The Port de Pollensa is also nearby, with a fabulous Pine Walk providing stunning views of the bay and a huge water sports industry springing up in its shallow waters.
Top tip: the viewpoint from the Calvario is an absolute must, if you can manage the climb!

The Region
Nestled on the far northwest coast, Cala Sant Vicenc is part of the municipal district of Pollenca and is more or less halfway between the town of Pollenca and Puerto Pollenca. Originally a fishing village, the town of Cala Sant Vicenc has several small bays with rugged and dramatic rocks and cliffs. The main attraction here is the tranquillity and the collection of small beaches.
The three small beaches in Cala Sant Vicenc, with their crystal clear seas, are particular favourites for both locals and tourists visiting the area. Cala Molins is the largest of the three and is, therefore, the hot spot for summer sunbathers. The smallest, Cala Clara, is a pebbled beach not ideal for sunbathing but is often a good place to snorkel and find crabs hiding in the rocks.
