Casa De Baix | 2-Bedroom Villa with Private Pool in Pollensa

A luxury villa rental in Pollensa puts you on the edge of Mallorca’s most authentic town, where medieval streets still wind toward a baroque church and Sunday markets overflow with local produce rather than tourist trinkets. Casa De Baix sits tucked away at the end of a quiet lane on the outskirts of this enchanting settlement, commanding views across the Vall de Colonya Valley—the kind of panorama that anchors you to the Balearic landscape the moment you arrive.

Inside Casa De Baix

Casa De Baix sleeps 4 guests across 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The main house centers on a generous living area where high wooden beams vault overhead, and a working fireplace beckons on cooler evenings. A satellite TV sits ready, though most guests find themselves drawn instead to the adjoining dining zone, which seats six and opens directly onto the terrace. The American-style kitchen runs along one side, its breakfast bar catching morning light, with every appliance you’d need to prepare meals rather than outsource them.

Ground floor hosts the first bedroom—two single beds with an en-suite bathroom attached, air-conditioned and stocked with storage for a full wardrobe. A guest toilet serves the main living areas. Step down from the terrace, and a separate annexe reveals the second bedroom: a proper double with garden access and its own shower room, equally air-conditioned and private. Both bedrooms carry en-suite bathrooms, which matters far more than it sounds when four guests are coordinating morning routines.

Outdoor Spaces and Living

The garden rewrites what “outdoor space” means. This is seven and a half meters of swimming pool—long enough for proper laps, shallow-stepped Roman entry perfect for children, and surrounded by loungers that face south toward the valley. A covered terrace runs the length of the villa, offering shade even in July. Patio areas multiply: one for morning coffee, another for evening aperitivos, a third with a built-in barbecue for proper cooking. Tall palms create natural boundaries; citrus trees dot the lawn. A swing hangs from one tree; a ping pong table occupies another corner. The garden feels simultaneously manicured and wild—that peculiar Mallorcan quality where humans have collaborated with the landscape rather than conquered it.

Two parking spaces sit tucked discreetly near the entrance. Wi-Fi reaches throughout. Central heating and air conditioning run independent of season. A washing machine handles laundry. Cots and high chairs are available if you’re bringing infants. The safe stores passports. The DVD player works for rainy afternoons.

Location: Pollensa and the Surrounding Area

Pollensa itself—population around 3,600—occupies the eastern edge of the Serra de Tramuntana, that UNESCO-listed mountain spine that defines Mallorca’s northwest. Unlike the concrete sprawl further south, Pollensa has absorbed tourism without surrendering its character. Wander the narrow streets toward the church to find traditional grocery shops, artisan outlets, cafés where conversation moves slowly, and restaurants run by families rather than chains. The Sunday market—held every week in the central square—opens at dawn with vendors selling vegetables still wet from the morning harvest, fish that arrived yesterday from local boats, jamón from regional producers, and crafts you won’t find in mall towns.

The Calvari staircase dominates the town’s skyline: 365 steps climbing to a hilltop chapel and the most comprehensive view of the Vall de Colonya. The climb takes twenty minutes; the vista justifies every step. Pollensa’s architectural core dates to the 16th century, though settlement here runs back to Moorish times.

Puerto Pollensa sits 9km north—a waterfront town with an entirely different energy. Beautiful sandy beaches stretch along the bay; the promenade retains old-fashioned hotels built before the 1960s construction boom. Families from Madrid and the UK gravitate here for swimming, sailing, and restaurants serving fresh seafood. The beach at Puerto Pollensa slopes gently, making it ideal for children learning to swim. Boat hire companies operate from the marina; windsurfing schools rent equipment by the hour.

Alcúdia, 12km east, preserves its medieval walled old town—narrow lanes, stone arches, a Wednesday evening market that fills the main plaza. The archaeological museum here covers 3,000 years of settlement across the northern peninsula. Pristine beaches curve around the bay on both sides of town.

For wine, the small bodegas around Binissalem (20km south) welcome visitors for tastings and produce bottles at prices you won’t find abroad. The region makes reds that age well and whites crisp enough for summer drinking. Several estates offer estate tours if you book ahead.

Cycling routes crisscross the foothills. The Ruta de Muntanya follows ancient mule tracks through olive groves and past stone villages where people still farm as their grandparents did. Hiking trails branch off throughout the Serra de Tramuntana; the Barranc de Biniaraix (near Sóller, 25km away) cuts through a dramatic canyon where water runs year-round.

Palma de Mallorca, the island’s capital, sits 40km south—a Gothic cathedral, narrow medieval quarters, museums, and restaurants spanning every price point. The drive takes forty-five minutes; many guests take a day trip for lunch and exploring the old quarter.

The best months are May-June and September-October, when temperatures hover around 25-28°C, the sea has warmed from winter, crowds at beaches remain manageable, and restaurants still cook with summer energy. July and August bring heat (32-35°C) and foreign visitors—thrilling if you enjoy crowds, exhausting if you don’t. April and November carry rain but also fewer people and lower rates. Winter (December-February) sees occasional frost in the mountains and rare snow; the coast stays mild but gray.

Who This Villa Suits Best

Couples seeking a retreat that’s genuinely rural yet close to dining and villages. The annexe bedroom offers privacy for adult guests traveling together, while the twin in the main house works equally well for young children or adult friends. Multi-generational groups of four—grandparents with adult children, or parents with teenage kids—find the separate bedroom configurations useful.

Families with infants or toddlers benefit from the private pool, garden swings, and cot/high chair availability. The gentle slope of Puerto Pollensa’s beaches (9km away) suits children learning to swim. Small groups of friends who want cooking facilities rather than restaurant meals every night. Anyone who values authenticity over resort amenities; Casa De Baix has no spa or concierge, but it has working outdoor space and views that shift throughout the day.

The villa suits travelers who rent a car. Public transport in rural Pollensa exists but runs infrequently; having your own vehicle opens the entire northern coast and mountain villages within a thirty-minute radius. It’s less suitable for guests wanting walkable nightlife or nightclubs—Pollensa is quiet after 10pm by design.
