Anita Apartments, Port de Pollenca

Anita Apartments is a small, unfussy seafront stay with the kind of setting that does most of the talking: five sunny apartments looking across the bay of Puerto Pollensa. Expect a practical mid-range base rather than a full-service resort, with the beach and Mediterranean just outside and the Pine Walk atmosphere close at hand. It suits families and friends who would rather wake up to sea views than spend their holiday inside a hotel complex.

The frontline location is the real advantage. Shops, cafés, restaurants, bars and nightlife in Port de Pollenca are only a short stroll away, so a car is far from essential for beach days and evening meals. For a change of scene, historic Pollenca is around 10 minutes inland by car, with old streets, local dining and access to the island’s countryside and sporting opportunities. Apartment facilities such as a washing machine make longer, self-catered stays more convenient.

Guests tend to single out the position near the water and the views as the memorable part of a stay, along with the ease of being close to everything. Practical details can vary between apartments, however: some mention first-floor access, furnishings and room layouts, including limited natural light in certain areas. It is worth confirming the specific apartment configuration if those details matter to you.
