From pretty rustic villages to Caribbean-like beaches here is our choice for the most beautiful, unspoiled, authentic and mostly very quiet resorts to holiday in Majorca for travel snobs everywhere…
1. Puerto Pollensa – a small quiet holiday resort town in Majorca with pine-fringed beaches, crystal-clear waters and charming restaurants

The prohibitive building regulations have meant that the town has retained its historic buildings and has not been inundated with tourist traps.
This attracts visitors looking for an unspoilt location to visit in Majorca. The long sandy beaches are also a major drawcard for visitors as are the excellent cafes and restaurants.
Like many other Majorcan towns, Port Pollenca was once a fishing village. It has managed to remain true to its roots, with many fishing boats still using the port to offload their catch.
The port sits in a large horseshoe-shaped bay which provides excellent sea views against the backdrop of the nearby Serra de Tramuntana mountain range. There are multiple beaches to explore including the tranquil Pine Walk promenade and slightly busier Port de Pollenca Beach.
