Four Seasons Resort Mallorca at Formentor

Cala Formentor, an early luxury destination in Mallorca, was favored by prominent figures such as Audrey Hepburn, Charlie Chaplin and Winston Churchill. Its crescent-shaped, golden sandy beach bordered by tranquil turquoise waters, lush pine forest, and mountain views make it a stunning spot to visit.

Situated at the end of a 40-minute hike north of Puerto Pollença, Cala Boquer (also known as Vall de Boquer or Boquer Valley) is a beautiful secluded rocky bay with clear, refreshing water and abundant sea life. A wonderful snorkellers paradise.

This small beach is nestled within a small bay, encircled by the towering mountains in the north-east of Mallorca on the Cap de Formentor. Its remote location and stunning mountainous backdrop make it all the more beautiful, and provides a more peaceful and subdued beach experience compared to many other shores in Mallorca.

Wandering down the waterfront you have your choice of which little beach to stop at, some are more crowded than others and some are almost too small to fit a family on and any patch of sand that can fit them has sun loungers. All of the beaches can be easily accessed from the pedestrian walkway.

Horseshoe-shaped Pollensa Bay, boasts several patches of golden shore, all with superb views and beautiful fine sand. The main beach is found just south of the harbour - Platja del Port de Pollensa; at nearly 1.5km long, it offers an impressive view of the Formentor Peninsular and surrounding Tramuntana mountains.

A quiet cove in the north of the island that offers a calm retreat from the busy tourist beaches and crystal clear water for swimming.

This wild peninsula on Mallorca's northeast tip has stunning views, sandy beaches and the island's original luxury hotel. The 20-km drive from Port de Pollenca to Mallorca's most northerly point has scenery as dramatic as anyone could wish for. Cliffs 400 metres tall jut into the sea, their weird rock formations attracting nesting seabirds, while pine trees seem to grow out of the rocks.

S'Albufereta de Pollensa is a wetland nature reserve in the north of the island, however, it is largely private property.  Visitors can drive along the main road from Pollenca to Alcudia to view the habitats.

Pollentia was founded by the consul Qintus Caecilius Metellus in 123 BC in the strategic location between the bays of Pollenca and Alcudia. It was the most important city in the Balearics duing the Roman period and covered an area of 15-20 hectares.

This eclectic mixture of art and sculpture, set in beautiful parkland in the north of Mallorca is one to put on your list of things to do.

This seventeenth century house is where artist Dionis Bennassar lived for half his life. It is now home to the Dionis Bennàssar Foundation, which is a cultural foundation of private non-profit organization created to promote, publicize and defend the manifestations of the human spirit. 

Nuns settled on Puig de Maria ('Mary's mountain') in 1371 and remained for several hundred years, refusing to leave even when the Bishop of Palma ordered them down for their own safety.

Puerto Pollensa, also known as Port de Pollença, is an established, family-friendly tourist resort in the north of Mallorca. Like many Mallorcan coastal towns, the resort was formerly a fishing village servicing the local area. It still features a large marina which nowadays harbours leisure boats more than fishing boats, but you can still see many traditional ‘llaüts’ used by the Mallorcans for catching fish.

Known in Castillian Spanish as Cala San Vincente and in Mallorquin as Cala Sant Vicenc, this is one of the smallest resorts on Mallorca.

The medieval town of Alcúdia is the main hub for visitors in the north of the island. Set on a peninsula between the bays of Pollença and Alcúdia, it offers a lovely mix of historic charm and genuine local character. Its beautifully preserved old town and welcoming atmosphere make it a popular spot throughout the year.

On the north coast of Mallorca lies the Bay of Alcudia, a gorgeous coastline comprising of turquoise shallow waters and long, soft golden sandy beaches. It is therefore not much of a surprise to find Majorca's biggest beach resort here. From Port d'Alcudia, in the west, to Can Picafort 10km down the coast, you will find a strip of apartment blocks and resort style hotels that offer everything from budget self-catering to luxurious five-star accommodation.

At the eastern end of the Serra de Tramuntana, tucked between two hills, lies the ancient rural town of Pollença (also written Pollenca or Pollensa). An enchanting Mallorcan town packed with ancient blonde stone architecture, Pollenca doesn’t feel like many of the other towns which have surrendered to tourism. Although tourists have long been attracted here, Pollensa has learned to accept and adapt to tourism without losing its soul.

Sa Pobla, 4km north of Muro, is known as Mallorca's vegetable basket. This fertile area of marshes reclaimed as farmland is referred to as 'the land of a thousand windmills', and there is a decent autumn fair that showcases their local agricultural produce in November. Some of these wetlands have been protected as part of s'Albufera Natural Park.
