Why Buy Property in Pollensa?
Pollensa is one of the most traditional towns in Mallorca, in the north of the island between the Puig de Maria and the Calvari hill. The old town has not become a resort strip, and it has a proper town centre, an international airport less than an hour away and an established international community. These are the features that matter to a buyer:
- Authentic Mallorca: a real town with year-round local life, restaurants and bars.
- Limited supply: building land is limited by the surrounding valleys and protected countryside.
- Steady demand: buyers from Northern Europe keep coming back, which has kept the resale market healthy.
- Variety: old-town townhouses, fincas, villas around the Port and apartments in Puerto Pollensa.
- Nature and coast: mountains, the Formentor peninsula and the bay of Pollensa close by.

Pollensa Property Prices in 2026
Average Price per m² in Pollensa
We do not publish a single price per m² for Pollensa. Portals show asking prices, not final sale prices, and they vary a lot depending on the area and the property type. Compare properties of the same type and location.
Price by Property Type
Prices swing a lot depending on where you look and what you buy. A townhouse that needs work in the old town can still be found for around €500,000, while a front-line villa in the Port can run into several million. These approximate ranges are based on our own experience, not on an external report:
- Fincas and country houses: roughly €1M to €3M or more, depending on land size and location. See country houses for sale in Pollensa.
- Townhouses: roughly €500,000 to €3M, depending on condition and location in the old town. See townhouses for sale in Pollensa.
- Luxury villas: roughly €2M to €6M or more, mostly around the Port (Llenaire, Boquer, El Vilà). See villas for sale in Pollensa.
- New-build villas: roughly €500,000 to €1M, mainly in Crestatx/Subac.
- Apartments: roughly €150,000 to €2.5M, almost all in Puerto Pollensa. See apartments for sale in Pollensa.
- Plots: see plots for sale in Pollensa. Check what can be built before buying.
Market Trends
Building land is limited by the surrounding valleys and protected countryside, so supply does not loosen up as it does in flatter parts of the island. Demand from Northern European buyers has been steady, and that has kept the resale market healthy. We do not quote growth percentages because we have no reliable source specific to Pollensa.
Property Types Available in Pollensa
Fincas and Country Houses
Traditional stone properties on rustic land, often surrounded by olive or almond groves, mostly in the countryside around Pollensa. Buyers come for privacy and space. Rustic land rules apply, so check early what can be built or renovated.
Townhouses
Historic properties in the old town, many with their original beams and stone facades. Renovation potential varies a lot from one building to the next.
Luxury Villas
Concentrated mostly around Puerto Pollensa, in Llenaire, Boquer and El Vilà, where sea views and front-line plots command the highest prices. Front-line villas occasionally come up from around €3 million.
New-Build Villas
Found mainly in Crestatx/Subac, where the land is urban rather than rustic, so construction is more straightforward than in the countryside. A typical four-bedroom new-build sits on 1,000 to 2,000 m² of land.
Apartments
Almost all in Puerto Pollensa, with the strongest demand along the Pine Walk. Penthouses and semi-detached units are at the top of the price range.
Best Areas and Micro-Locations to Buy in Pollensa
- Pollensa Old Town: ideal for a lock-and-leave property you can use all year, with restaurants, bars and an established international community close by. Along the Calvari steps there are occasionally villas with views over the rooftops and up to the Puig de Maria.
- Countryside around Pollensa: the valleys of Colonya, Ternelles and March hold the best land for country properties close to town. Privacy is the main draw.
- La Font: just outside town, mostly country properties and villas. The plot size needed for legal construction is smaller (under 15,000 m²). Elevated positions look out to the coast, and it is an easy bike ride into town.
- El Vilà: on the same side of the mountain as La Font, but closer to the Port, for buyers who want sea views and quick access to the restaurants and bars of Puerto Pollensa.
- Boquer: properties come up rarely. It is on the road towards Formentor, slightly above the Port and the Pine Walk, and one of the last places in the Port area where a villa can still be built.
- Llenaire: along with Boquer, one of the few places in the Port with villas on or close to the sea. Front-line and sea-view properties command a premium.
- Puerto Pollensa: the lifestyle heart of the area, with a lively restaurant and bar scene and a good reputation with families. Most properties are apartments, with the highest demand along the Pine Walk.
- Crestatx/Subac: about ten minutes from Pollensa, on urban land, so it avoids some of the legal complications of the countryside. Most properties are under €1 million, and demand has picked up since an international school opened nearby.

Buying Process in Mallorca
The general purchase process is the same as elsewhere in Mallorca. In Pollensa, buyers should pay particular attention to the planning status of country properties and plots, rustic land rules and the building licence.
Legal Steps
- Obtain an NIE (foreigner identification number).
- Make an offer and sign the reservation agreement.
- Carry out due diligence: ownership, charges, licences and building status.
- Sign the private purchase contract and pay the deposit.
- Sign the deed in front of a notary and pay the remaining amount.
- Register the property in the Land Registry.
Taxes and Fees
Buyers must budget for transfer tax (ITP) on resale properties, or VAT and stamp duty (AJD) on new builds, plus notary, registry and legal fees. Rates and thresholds change, so confirm the current figures with your lawyer before making an offer.
Financing
Non-resident buyers can apply for a mortgage in Spain. Banks usually finance a lower percentage than for residents, so check the conditions before signing the reservation agreement.
Timeline
The time between the reservation agreement and the deed depends on the documentation and the financing, and is normally a matter of weeks to a few months.
Investment Potential in Pollensa
Rental Yields and Tourist Licence
Holiday rental requires a tourist licence (ETV), and licence rules depend on current regulations, so check that the property has a valid, transferable licence. We do not offer yield promises: income depends on the property, the season and the licence.
Resale Value Drivers
Proximity to the old town, sea views, and how easily you can walk to the beach and marina in Puerto Pollensa are the factors that come up again and again when a property here resells well.
Things to Know Before Buying in Pollensa
- Rustic land: check what can be built or renovated and the minimum plot size before you commit.

- Tourist licence (ETV): check that it exists and that it is transferable.
- High season: June to September brings a real jump in traffic, especially around Puerto Pollensa.
- International community: well established, especially British, German and Scandinavian residents.
