What Makes Pollensa A Favourite For Family Holidays?

April 13, 2013 By itravelnet.com

The incredible variety of family friendly Pollensa villas attracts many holiday visitors to Pollensa. This is because many of the villas are situated in a beautiful countryside area near the port and close to the old town of Pollensa. In the old town, families find a historical atmosphere with many interesting, educational opportunities. The Museo de Pollenca offers a fascinating display of paintings, sacred art and archaeological discoveries along with beautiful gardens that everyone enjoys. 

Family Friendly Activities to Enjoy

On the north side of town, visitors love seeing the Roman stone bridge. It is a very solid reminder of the town’s Roman influence and heritage. At Plaza Major, adults enjoy the relaxing atmosphere and the opportunity to rest and chat, while children play nearby. This is especially pleasant after a long stroll along the famous Pine Walk, which is another favourite activity for locals and visitors. 

A challenging activity for families is hiking up the 365 steps of the world-famous Calvari staircase. These storied steps lead to the very pretty and historic Calvari chapel. Children especially love to run up the steps, while adults take it at a slower pace and enjoy the spectacular view, including beautiful Cypress trees. The view from the top is incredible, memorable and enjoyable for everyone. 

Water Activities for All Ages 

Beautiful sandy beaches are especially attractive. The family friendly, gently sloping shoreline invites families to swim and enjoy the beach. Visitors love scuba diving, water skiing, snorkelling, fishing, sailing and diving off of boats. Water skiing lessons are available and very helpful. Gorgeous Formentor beach is a short boat ride away and is an amazing site due to its crystal blue water and inviting, unspoilt beach. 

Families Love the Pollensa Villas

Staying in one of Pollensa’s family-friendly pool villas allows families to reconnect with one another and enjoy doing things together while on holiday. This is a special quality found in the friendly atmosphere of Pollensa. Beautiful sandy beaches invite families to play while the markets and shops offer learning experiences. The stunning Tramuntana mountain range provides an incredibly scenic backdrop. 

Bird watching is a favourite family activity that is enjoyed by all ages. Pollensa is one of the best places in the world to see many fascinating species of birds, including Night Herons, Scops Owls, Hoopoes, Bee-eaters, Black Vultures, Audouin’s Gulls and more. In fact, Pollensa is the only place some of these varieties can be seen. Everyone will cherish a luxury holiday in Pollensa, Mallorca. The Pollensa villas make the stay comfortable and memorable.
