Property GuideMallorca North

Alcúdia is not all about culture and history, the port, called Puerto Alcúdia, is also a very popular holiday resort and each year thousands visit to enjoy lazy days on the glorious beach and then join the busy nightlife, for which the resort is famous. Puerto Alcúdia might be a very family orientated holiday resort, but it certainly knows how to party! That is also why many families have been coming for years or have even bought their luxury villa for sale in Alcúdia or a villa in Alcanada near the golf course. The kids have grown up here, Alcúdia accommodates all ages and even the family teens found enough entertainment over the years.

Puerto Pollensa is also a family orientated resort but a very quiet one, it doesn’t offer the vibrant nightlife of neighbouring Alcúdia. Here families spend relaxing holidays on the equally glorious beach like that in Puerto Alcúdia, or the more active go hiking or cycle up in the mountains. An apartment for sale in Puerto Pollensa is the perfect lock-up and go vacation home, the base from where to set off and, therefore, apartments in Pollensa or in the port are snapped up very fast. Pollensa town is emblematic, it is full of culture, an artist’s dream home-coming discovery! Art galleries, music festivals and concerts, exhibitions the list of events that take place in this relatively small town seems to be endless! A reformed town house for sale in Pollensa’s charming centre with its picturesque, cobbled streets is amongst the most sought-after properties on the island. Pollensa is about dignified understatement, whereas in the south-west it is almost a “must” to flaunt your wealth, in Pollensa that is a close to a “sin” as it can get!

Many of the traditional town houses in Pollensa have been modernised by their new, mostly foreign owners and even have a pool. Those who prefer more space and privacy, will go for a country home or finca for sale in Pollensa, as this type of property is generally called on Mallorca. These fincas properties generally boast a pool, a certain amount of land and views over the mountain range and the countryside. A Pollensa finca is the perfect property choice for those who love the laid-back, local way of living and who want to become part of the typical village lifestyle.

Many people think that the north closes completely during the off-season months, nothing is farther from reality. The locals take a deep breath after the tourist invasion is over and they enjoy the space and tranquillity, it simply cannot get any better than taking a stroll along the glorious beaches in the north now that they have been freed of all sun umbrellas and lie lows. Many cafés and restaurants may close but there are still enough that keep doors open all year round. The markets offer fantastic fresh fruit and vegetables again that do not look tired and battered by the heat and fierce summer sun. The lovely winter months, full of peace and sunshine, attract many buyers of a property for sale in Mallorca’s north and as most dispose of a central heating system or/and a cosy open fireplace, all comforts are provided, and a comfortable lifestyle can thus be enjoyed.
