Villa Cristobel has a peaceful and private location just over1km from the lovely old town of Pollensa with a dramatic backdrop of the Tramuntana Mountains, some 7.5km inland from the coastal resort of Puerto Pollensa. The road to the villa takes you through a river ford and this charming villa is ideal for a tranquil and relaxing villa holiday in the sun. The Old Town has a selection of bars, shops and restaurants within walking distance and there is also a 9 hole golf course nearby. Pollensa Bay with its beautiful coastline and sandy beaches is a short drive away.
Pollensa Old Town has Roman origins and evidence of a bygone era can be found all around you in the narrow winding streets. There is a range of traditional craft shops, boutiques and pavement cafes hiding in the maze of cobbled streets waiting to be discovered. The town’s main square Placa Major is a lovely place to enjoy an evening meal, and it plays host to a Sunday morning market which sells an array of fresh local produce and traditional handicrafts.
Puerto Pollensa is around 8km from the villa and has a great beach with excellent beachside facilities – ice-cream shops, kiosks, sun beds and parasols for hire, not to mention the range of water sports on offer – waterskiing, jet skiing, parasailing and windsurfing to name a few. Boat trips depart from here on island excursions, including one that heads up the coast to the Formentor peninsular, taking in some of the more secluded coves along the way. The nightlife here is fairly low key and centred around the family-friendly restaurants in the resort. A pleasant evening activity is to take a stroll along the ‘Pine Walk’ which is a palm lined promenade with an array of restaurants and bars. Puerto Pollensa has a colourful local market on Wednesdays.
Alcudia to the south of the bay is a bustling port with a large range of shops, restaurants and boutiques and a lovely beach. Evening entertainment here is more varied and lively, with some discos and clubs staying open late. For families with children and teenagers, there is a aqua park featuring plenty of exciting rides.. The old town of Alcudia is a beautifully preserved medieval walled city and has a network of narrow streets and remnants of Roman architecture including amphitheatre.
