Finca Arbocar | 3-Bedroom Villa with Private Pool in Pollenca Pollensa

Pollença draws visitors seeking both cultural depth and Mediterranean ease, and Finca Arbocar sits at the heart of this opportunity—a luxury villa rental in Mallorca’s quietest corner, where six guests can claim three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a private 8×4 metre pool as their own. What makes this particular property distinct is its placement within walking distance of the town’s Wednesday market (over 300 stalls of local crafts and produce) while remaining secluded enough that you hear birdsong rather than traffic.

Inside Finca Arbocar

Finca Arbocar sleeps 6 guests across 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, distributed across two floors with ground-floor convenience as a priority. The layout reflects traditional Mallorcan design without sacrificing modern comfort.

Ground Floor: The living room commands your first impression—plump sofas face a satellite television and fireplace, anchoring a space where bright white walls contrast with dark terracotta tiles. Adjacent, the dining area unfolds with a table seating ten, though the villa’s intimate capacity means intimate dinners here feel like private celebrations. The kitchen opens directly onto the garden patio, its abundant white cabinetry and purpose-built breakfast bar making morning coffee feel like an event. A family bathroom features both a round soaking tub and separate walk-in shower—practical luxury for a group. One double bedroom on this level means at least one guest avoids stairs entirely.

First Floor: The master bedroom commands the upper storey with a substantial double bed dressed in premium linens, positioned to catch early light from east-facing windows. Two additional bedrooms each contain paired single beds configured as either twins or joined doubles depending on guest preference—a flexibility that transforms the property from couples’ retreat to extended family gathering space. A separate shower room serves the upper bedrooms with efficiency.

Throughout Finca Arbocar, air conditioning controls each bedroom independently, and central heating ensures winter comfort. Wi-Fi reaches all corners. A dishwasher, washing machine, coffee maker, and hair dryers complete the practical inventory—the kind of thoughtful amenities that distinguish between a property that accommodates guests and one that anticipates their needs. Cots and high chairs arrive on request, making this villa genuinely accessible to families with infants.

Outdoor Spaces and Living

The exterior is where Finca Arbocar reveals its character. The swimming pool occupies the villa’s gravitational centre—8 metres long, 4 metres wide, reaching depths from 1 to 2 metres—surrounded by sun loungers that face south toward unobstructed sky. This isn’t a minimal urban pool; this is a genuine destination within the property itself.

Beyond the water’s edge, professionally maintained lawn extends in all directions, the grass species chosen to withstand Mallorca’s intense summer sun. Mature trees—some reaching significant height—cast moving shadows across the grounds, creating natural zones of respite during peak afternoon heat. You’ll notice how the tree coverage shifts throughout the day, making the same spot ideal for both morning work emails and afternoon naps.

A covered terrace frames one side of the property, designed specifically for the moment when afternoon heat peaks but you don’t want to retreat indoors. Garden furniture dotted across the grounds includes the covered dining setup, allowing meals to shift between the air-conditioned interior and open air as temperature dictates. A barbecue anchors evening entertaining—stone-built rather than portable, suggesting the villa’s owners expect you to cook outdoors and cook well. Private parking accommodates vehicles directly, eliminating the frustration of searching for spaces in Pollença’s older town streets.

Location: Pollença and the Surrounding Area

Finca Arbocar positions you in Pollença, a town that has managed to retain character while becoming genuinely accessible to travelers. The settlement itself clusters around Plaça Major and Plaça de l’Almoina—the latter a small square whose medieval stones remember a 1550 Moorish raid defended by ordinary citizens, now celebrated each August with a local ceremony. The Pollença Wednesday market (operating 8am-1:30pm year-round) brings 300+ vendors selling everything from fresh produce to handmade ceramics—the authentic kind you’ll actually use back home.

Beaches within 15 minutes’ drive include Cala Sant Vicenç, a crescent of sand backed by modest development and fronted by several waterfront restaurants. Further north, Puerto de Pollença opens a natural harbour lined with yacht clubs and fish restaurants—about 10 kilometres from the villa, this is where local families swim on Sunday afternoons. Cala Barques lies beyond the lighthouse, a pebble cove 12 kilometres out, favored by swimmers seeking fewer crowds.

The Formentor Lighthouse (Far de Formentor) crowns a 210-metre headland roughly 15 kilometres northeast, constructed in 1863 and still functioning. The drive winds through pine forest before opening onto views across to Menorca on clear days—genuinely worth the 40-minute round trip. Alcúdia, Pollença’s larger neighbor 10 kilometres south, contains a substantial walled old town with restaurants, supermarkets, and the Tuesday market (smaller but excellent for local produce). Artà, 20 kilometres inland, is known for pottery workshops and a dramatic hilltop fortress.

For cycling, the region offers the Greenway route—a former railway line converted to a traffic-free path running 40 kilometres between Alcúdia and Inca, passing through agricultural valleys. Wine regions lie 40 kilometres south around Binissalem, where several bodegas welcome visitors. April to May brings almond blossoms and comfortable temperatures; September-October offers heat that’s diminished but water still warm for swimming. July-August delivers crowds to beaches and restaurants, though Finca Arbocar’s private pool makes this less consequential.
