A medieval chapel and watchtower overlooking the city below.

Utterly moving interior regardless of your religious beliefs with incredible stained glass on view. The Puig has a rich history and strong ties to the Templars (Dan Brown fans take note). I never miss an opportunity to visit when we are holidaying in or near to town. It's beautiful
2. Cala Molins

Reviewed By MPBrooklaw - London, United Kingdom
We arrived early on a Sunday morning and were pleased to secure a spot in the shade and two recliners for Euro20. The sand was mostly clean though a number of cigarette butts around. The water was very clear, temperate and great for snorkeling with the kids. The beach gets crowded fast and you have to carefully trace a route to get to the water - but there was plenty of places to swim and snorkel. Good size waves and a good amount of seaweed right on the shore you need to wade through to get to the clear waters.
There is a small bar/restaurant right on the beach which serves beverages and food as well as a rental place for sea kayaks.
There were two lifeguards set up.
Seemed mostly local/Spanish on this day.

A lovely place to take a stroll at any time of the day, although we did tend to go just before dinner each night. Lovely views across the bay in peaceful, pleasant surroundings. The water was so clear and clean - one evening we even saw a large octopus near the sea wall.
4. The 365 Calvari Steps

The 365 steps are exhausting but what a view. 365 one step for each day of the year. Do not attempt if you are in the least bit frail. Take it easy and drink plenty.
5. Mirador de Sa Creueta

Stunning views over the whole area and coastline.
We went on an organised tour stopping at the viewing point for 30 minutes and then onto Formentor for time on the beach, returning to puerto pollensa by boat. If I did this again I would take a taxi for less than 20 euros to Formentor and pay for a single return on one of the boats.
6. Port de Pollenca Beach

Reviewed By chchch2016 - Biel, Switzerland
It is a beautiful sandy beach, with lots of space and possibilities for water sports. The water is very clean and generally quiet for being in a bay.
7. Formentor Lighthouse

Reviewed By ajm001 - Richmond, Virginia
A beautiful drive. A thrilling and wonderful bike ride. Do not expect to do the Formentor hike that's listed as 2 1/2 hours each way in anything close to that amount of time. Much of the hike is on the road (dangerous) and much of the rest is over trails that are poorly maintained and poorly marked. This is an absolutely gorgeous peninsula and lighthouse. Ride a bike, enjoy a modest lunch from the little cafeteria at the lighthouse with incredible views. Oh, and don't hike it. Do the bike ride.
8. Placa Major

Reviewed By cwagsg - Falkirk, Scotland
So this is a pretty square in the middle of the town. However, it gets really busy with tourists throughout the day. There is a bit of a lull mid-late afternoon - but some the evening the invasion of tourists starts in earnest. If you like kids running wild, moaning about not getting this or that - then this is a great place to spend an evening in the summer. Out of the school holidays, we find this a wonderful place to sit and relax with a glass or 5 of something nice!
9. Boquer Valley (Val de Boquer)
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 415 reviews
Reviewed By Dave D - Crewe, United Kingdom
We walked this from the town, it's about 40 mins each way, and quite testy for the last few hundred yards. The bay has been cleaned up, but there's no sand, and it drops in quite steeply. We were also plagued by wasps so headed back earlier than planned. Great walk though and recommended.
10. Esglesia de Nostra Senyora dels Angels
Overall Ratings

Reviewed By Samthetax - Basingstoke, England
The ceiling in this beautiful church is absolutely stunning, painted with biblical scenes. The side chapels are attractive, too, especially the one of St Sebastian. Religious or not (and I'm not) you have to appreciate the effort and artistry that has gone into this place. The floor tiles feature the Pollensa cockerel.
