Mallorca’s Northeast region is a unique part of the island that features an incredible geographic diversity that includes the historic villages of Pollensa and Alcúdia and their nearby and family-friendly ports, Port de Pollensa and Port de Alcúdia to small farming communities, among other beautiful villages and towns.
Mallorca’s Northeast region is also well-known for its small farming communities and agricultural production – including wine, almond and fruit trees and olive groves. There are numerous festivals throughout the year in this central region to celebrate its agricultural history – from olive oil harvests to potatoes and onions. While it’s hard to encapsulate this diverse and large region, here are some of View Mallorca's highlights:
Alcúdia, a village built up within an old fortress, is a popular town for holiday-goers to visit but Alcúdia also has a welcoming, all-year around community. While it lies just a couple of kilometres from bustling Port de Alcúdia, the differences between the two towns are striking. Port de Alcúdia is bordered by hotels and resorts, making it a very popular summer destination, dominated by the Bay of Alcúdia and a long white sand beach which stretches several kilometres along the Eastern edge of Mallorca. Port d’Alcúdia is also an entry way for ferry boats coming from Barcelona or Menorca. The village of Alcúdia features centuries old architectural remnants and a more traditional lifestyle.
Pollensa, like Alcúdia, has a rich history and a strong role in the 13th century Christian conquest. It has a privileged location between mountains and sea that makes it one of the most desirable places to live and to visit. Nearby Port de Pollensa has a dramatic backdrop of mountains and while the boardwalk is bustling with shops and restaurants, there is a strong presence of nature that makes this a special place to spend time in.
