Set in countryside between authentic Pollença Old Town and the bustling seaside town of Port de Pollença, Ca'n Xaloc is a perfect base for families of differing generations with a self-contained cabana ideal for older teenagers or grandparents looking for a little more independence whilst also being very much a part of holiday proceedings.
With traditional Mallorquin features, the interiors offer tiled floors and high beamed ceilings all of which combine together to create a comfortable homely feel. The main house affords an open plan layout with sitting room complete with fireplace (ornamental only) and dining area leading on to a fully equipped kitchen. A spacious double bedroom includes a small seating area, beamed archway and doors leading to the pool area. In addition to the main house, a separate cabana offers further accommodation for those seeking a little more privacy. Accessed via a pathway through the gardens, this individual spot offers a double bedroom with en suite shower room, TV, small kitchenette and its own terrace with views over the gardens and surrounding countryside.
Thoughtfully planned out gardens offer ample space for everyone to enjoy and relax. Surrounded by beautiful far-reaching, rural vistas to the mountains, this tranquil location provides a choice of covered terraces to delight in many al fresco lunches. Taking pride of place in the manicured gardens, the gated pool takes centre stage whilst also offering a little more peace of mind – during the cooler months the pool can be heated for a small supplement.
Just a short drive away, Pollença Old Town with its Roman-aged square and narrow cobbled streets has a bountiful choice of restaurants, shops and chic cafes. A little further along the road, Port de Pollença boasts an extensive sandy beach; its shallow waters perfectly suited for a family day at the waterfront. Lining the promenade, a fine selection of stylish restaurants lead to the famous Pine Walk.

Locality
Great Things to Do Near Ca'n Xaloc
Sóller and its Port by train
The old-fashioned train ride through the mountains from Palma (or Bunyola) to Sóller and back, including the tram to the Port of Sóller through the orange groves and back, and just sitting in the church square in Sóller enjoying a drink and watching the world go by.
Walk to the top of Puig de Maria
Just past the rooster roundabout on the road from Pollença to Palma on the left, is the start of the walk up to the top of Puig de Maria. It's best to go first thing in the morning wearing sensible shoes. Don't forget your camera and a bottle of water although there is a bar at the top. The views over the north coast are outstanding.
Palma, the capital of the Balearic Islands
If you'd like to visit the capital city, Palma, and are not keen on driving, then take the train from Sa Pobla. Palma is an excellent shopping centre and has many interesting historical buildings, museums and art galleries to visit. There is an open top tourist bus that takes you to the most emblematic sites.
Appreciate the beautifully rugged coastline from the sea
From Port de Soller it is possible to take a boat trip round the magnificent rugged coastline to Sa Calobra and see the Torrent de Pareis.
Sunday Morning Market
The market in Pollença on Sunday morning is a colourful, bustling event where you can buy your locally grown fresh fruit and vegetables, as well as souvenirs and presents. Have a look inside the church while you are there as it is quite impressive.
Water parks, Marineland and Aquarium
The nearest water park to Pollença is at Port d'Alcúdia where there is also a mini-golf course! The others are in the south of the island at El Arenal and Magalluf. At Costa den Blanes there is Marineland which has dolphin, sea lion and parrots shows and an excellent Aquarium at Ca'n Pastilla.
Old Roman town of Alcúdia
Tuesday market in Old Alcúdia is interesting and has a plentiful supply of locally grown fresh fruit and vegetables, then just stroll round the pedestrianised old Roman town where caper plants are growing out of the main massive thick stone walls surrounding the town. The local council offer a free guided tour around the historical centre of Alcúdia old town on Wednesdays & Fridays during the summer months.
Go to Menorca!
Menorca is just 25 miles away, it is a great island to explore with lots of undeveloped coves. Mahón, the capital, and Cuitadella have beautiful architecture and excellent waterfront restaurants. Daily ferry from Cala Ratjada to Cuitadella.
Market days in Sineu and Inca
If you like bustling markets lining the streets, then Inca market on Thursday is the busiest you will find on the island. However, Sineu market on Wednesday is unusual as it still sells livestock such as goats, sheep, rabbits and ducks. The fresh fruit and vegetable market is up the hill in a smaller square at the front of the church.
Caves of Campanet
The Caves of Campanet, discovered by a shepherd about 100 years ago, are not too far away and worth a visit to see the fascinating formation of stalagmites and stalactites. These caves are not too commercialised and visits are on the hour. For Mallorca's most impressive caves, travel over to the east coast and visit the Caves of Drach.
Paella on the beach
Spend a day at the beach between Ca'n Picafort and the area east of Alcúdia, at Ses Casetes des Capellans, where you can enjoy a tasty paella or seafood dishes at one of the beach restaurants while enjoying the sea and sun on a long and sandy beach.
Birdwatchers’ Paradise
Ornithologists will know about the birdwatching area at the Albufera and Albufereta, where you can see several different species of wading birds, amongst others, especially during the migrating season.
Local vineyard
There are several vineyards in Mallorca where you can visit and try the wine - Vinyes Mortitx is on the road to Pollença-Lluc road at KM 10,9; Bodegues Macià Batle is at the entrance to Santa Maria on the main road towards Consell; and in Binissalem is the better-known Bodega José L. Ferrer. No visits during the grape harvest in September although the wine festival in Binissalem is worth joining in.
Basket making, prehistoric buildings and a castle
Going further afield, drive through the resorts of Puerto Alcudia and Ca’n Picafort towards Arta – here in Arta one of the local trades is making baskets - then take a country lane to the hermitage of Betlem where the views overlook Colonia de San Pedro in the Bay of Alcudia. Back to Arta and if you are interested in prehistoric building, then visit the Poblat de Ses Païsses before carrying on to Capdepera to see the castle.
Hidropark in Alcudia
Is the nearest waterpark for guests in staying in the north of the island. Open from beginning of May until end of October.http://www.alcudia-waterpark.com/
Explore the old town of Pollença
Stroll around the old town of Pollença. It's definitely worth making the effort to climb the 365 steps up to the Calvary church and browsing in the curious little shops before sitting down to relax with a drink and dinner in one of the many popular restaurants in the pedestrianised squares.
Fornalutx, Deià and Valldemossa
Drive over the Tramuntana mountain roads taking in the spectacular scenery, stopping at the various viewpoints including two lakes/reservoirs, and passing through several world-renowned towns like Deià and Valldemossa, home to famous painters, writers and musicians. Fornalutx is one of the prettiest towns in Mallorca.
Lluc is not just a monastery
Take the mountain road from Pollença to the Monastery at Lluc. Visit the museum and the chapel - you may be fortunate enough to hear the Blauets Choir singing. Make your way to the huge cross behind the monastery for the fabulous views out to sea.
Formentor beach and lighthouse
A scenic drive will take you to Formentor Lighthouse - the road is quite narrow in places. At the top of the hill out of Port de Pollença, it is worth stopping at the viewpoint to see El Colomer rock. Although the beach at Formentor is not very large, it has clear shallow water ideal for children and adults alike, with some good waters for snorkelling. Go early, with a picnic.
