Hi Snowboarder

Pollenca and Port de Pollenca are brilliant. I am very biaised as we bought a place there last year, but I can honestly say this area is the most fantastic place for young families. Beautiful safe beaches, family friendly eateries, short flight, fabulous scenery and Pollenca itself is a stunning medieval town. We met families we knew on the flights out and back this summer - everyone loves this area. I am not trying to flog you our villa (its fully booked to early Oct), but if you look at my website you will see more details about the area. www.villapascali.com.

Best of luck

How strange - we're heading off there on Sunday! We went while I was pg and remember thinking it would be fab fir kids as the beaches were all amazing and loads of kids playing on the beach at night while parents eat. Not sure how old your kids are but would recommend the caves and palms well worth a visit too. There's a lovely old train which ru z from Palma to soller. Beautiful walks round tramentura(?) area too.

I was just about to recommend a trip to Soller too. I love Mallorca, although have never visited Pollenca, but if you were looking for a short excursion, I would recommend driving down to Soller (lovely old town, slightly inland) and then getting on the tram from there to Port de Soller, which is the seafront. The tram is wooden and open-sided and trundles down through what look like people's back gardens, some orange groves and then along the seafront once it reaches the coast. We enjoyed it pre-kids, but I think kids of any age would be enthralled. There's some more info here - hope this link works:

We went in June with our two girls, they enjoyed all the nearby beaches: the pine walk beach area of port de pollenca, the beaches on the formentor peninsula, cala st vicente. We also visited lluc monastery which was lovely, with a beautiful walk through the botanical gardens. Enjoy. Cannot wait to go back!

Ooh yes we went there in June, it's beautiful and perfect for kids. On our last night we caught a little show on the main square for kids, characters dressed up on stilts etc and ended in a little parade. I think it was on every night, around 8pm, definitely worth checking out!


The restaurants are all very child friendly which was convenient as we have a very active 18 month old! Best tapas we had was one of the restaurants on pine walk which runs along the beach, I forget the name but they also did ice cream outside, the last restaurant on the left if you're looking at the beach.


Also nice cocktails at a bar which juts into the water, think it was part of hotel Bahia, we managed to have a whole one each in quite a civilised manner before LO got bored and it was time to move on!


Enjoy!

Snowboarder, in Porta Pollenca I'd recommend La Llonga restaurant which is just before the yacht club.


If you've got a car book Es Guix in the mountains - restaurant with fabulous mountain pool - spring water - cold/refreshing! Book & ask about suckling pig in advance - Sundays or Mondays only I think. Well worth the drive up thru the mountains.


We went round the island on the boat this year so tried lots if new restaurants in various ports, they were all great!


Oh, Stay restaurant on the front in PP also amazing food & service, if facing the sea it's to the right of the yacht club/harbour about 5-10 minutes walk.

      But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?

      ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
