North & Northeast

The north and northeast of Mallorca remain noticeably less developed than the Southwest, with long sandy bays, protected wetlands and characterful historic towns. Pollença, Port de Pollença, Formentor, Alcúdia, Port d'Alcúdia and Playa de Muro anchor the region.

Pollença itself is one of the island's most characterful towns — honey-stone houses, the 365-step Calvari staircase, a celebrated summer music festival and a famous weekly market. Port de Pollença and the Formentor peninsula offer a more refined, low-rise coastal life, while Alcúdia's medieval walled town opens onto the largest sandy bay on the island.

Property in the region spans restored townhouses in the old centres, country fincas on substantial rural plots with mountain views, contemporary villas in the port areas with sandy-beach access, and a smaller selection of frontline apartments. Architecture is generally low-rise, character is preserved, and the rhythm of the year is shaped by cycling, sailing, hiking and an unusually strong year-round community for a coastal region.

For buyers seeking authenticity, beach access, nature and a strong sense of community rather than resort glitz, the north is one of Mallorca's defining regions.
