Sitting between the enchanting Medieval towns of Pollença and Alcúdia, encircled by sprawling Mallorquin countryside and a glorious backdrop of the Tramuntana mountains, Les Roques de Ca'n Guixe offers home away from home for those seeking peace and tranquillity, yet little more than a 10 minute drive to the coast with its succession of sandy beaches emanating true 'holiday vibes', craggy coves perfect for snorkelling and water inlets creating nature reserves such as S’Albufereta.
Aesthetically decorated and stylishly furnished, muted tones combine with splashes of bright colours throughout, a feature wall here, an eye-catching cushion there – all echoes of the surrounding landscape. An ideal venue for two families or a multi-generational group seeking adaptable accommodation, providing spacious communal areas to gather and get the holiday plan in motion, whether it be putting your feet up or letting your hair down! Plus a chance for everyone to spread out and find a niche to call their own. The open plan kitchen with breakfast and snug seating area makes for a great start to the day.
Stepping outside, large open and shady terraces provide front row seats to picturesque views (a trip upstairs to the shared balcony on the upper floor definitely takes the prize for views), whilst the in-built barbecue means an opportunity to enjoy the cooking as well as the eating outdoors in this idyllic spot. An inviting pool takes centre stage, complete with separate whirlpool section and real run-around room for younger guests to relinquish that surplus energy.
A trip into Alcúdia Old Town is just a short drive away. Renowned for being the best preserved Medieval town in Mallorca, the impressive ramparts of the town walls still surround this capsule of local life - a labyrinth of narrow, cobbled streets hosting tapas bars, bistros and craft shops with small plazas dotted in between, perfect for a mid-morning coffee break accompanied by freshly baked pastries. The area becomes more upbeat on Tuesdays and Sundays when local stalls are set up and the chic boutiques make way for the bustling market.

Great Things to Do Near Les Roques de Ca'n Guixe
Snorkelling at Mal Pas
If you are keen on snorkelling, go towards Alcúdia then turn off towards the La Victoria headland until you reach Mal Pas. Beside a fish restaurant serving lobster (choose your own), there is an excellent area off the rocks for snorkelling in deep clear water.
Local boat trips
Boat trips from the local coves and ports can make a lovely day or half day out from Port de Pollenca or Port d'Alcudia going to Formentor or around the Headlands.
The battle of the Moors and Christians
Pollenca is famous for its simulated battle of the Moors and the Christians which takes place on 01-02 August. The whole town takes part in the celebrations.
Visit a local vineyard
There are several vineyards in Mallorca where you can visit and try the wine - Vinyes Mortitx is on the road to Pollenca-Lluc roat at KM 10;9; Bodegues Maciá 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 dueing the grape harvest in September although the wine festival in Binissalem is worth joining in.
Nearby Beaches
Cala San Vincenc and Port de Pollenca are two lovely beaches in the North of the island which can be reached by car in just a few minutes. A little further afield is the renowned beach of Formentor.
Early morning walk to the top
Just past the rooster roundabout on the main road from Pollenca 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 bottle of water although there is a bar at the top. The views over the north coast are outstanding.
The only water park in the north of Mallorca
is Hidropark in Alcúdia. Open 1st May to 30th October. www.hidroparkalcudia.com.
Caves of Campanet
The beautiful Caves of Campanet, found by a shepherd about 100 years ago, are not too far away and worth a visit to see the fascinating stalagmite and stalactite formations. These caves are not too commercialised and visits are on the hour. For the most impressive caves, go to Portocristo on the east coast and visit the Caves of Drach which houses one of the largest underground lakes in Europe.
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.
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 and Fridays during the summer months.
The old ruined castle at Alaró
Make your way to the top of Castell d'Alaró - take water to drink as the last part of the journey has to be done on foot. The views from the top are breathtakingly beautiful! On the way down enjoy a meal at the Restaurant Es Verger where they serve tasty roast lamb done in a traditional Mallorcan oven.
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.
Go to the market
Pollença market on Sunday morning is a colourful bustling event where you can buy your locally grown fresh fruit and vegetables, as well as a few souvenirs and presents. Have a look inside the church which is very impressive.
Visit another island - 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.
Play a round of golf!
Mallorca has a great variety of golf courses and the closest to Puerto Pollença is the 9-hole course at Pollença. Alcanada has an 18-hole course with beautiful views overlooking the Bay of Alcúdia.
Palma de Mallorca, an interesting capital city
There are many interesting historical buildings to visit in Palma, including the Cathedral, Almudaina Palace and Bellver Castle, as well as museums and art galleries. Palma is also an excellent shopping centre.
