Casa Magallanes | 3-Bedroom Apartment in Puerto Pollenca Pollensa

A three-bedroom townhouse rental in Puerto Pollença puts you 100 metres from one of Mallorca’s most compelling stretches of sand, yet positioned squarely in the town’s beating heart. Casa Magallanes occupies that rare middle ground—central enough to walk to restaurants and shops within minutes, distant enough that the sound of the Mediterranean laps against the terrace on warm evenings. For six guests seeking substance over showiness, this renovated property delivers the essentials: three full bathrooms, a private pool, and direct beach access without the formality of a sprawling villa.

Inside Casa Magallanes

Casa Magallanes sleeps 6 guests across 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. The ground floor opens into a flowing series of interconnected spaces designed for groups who actually want to spend time together. The living room commands the front of the property, outfitted with comfortable seating and a satellite television—practical rather than pretentious. Immediately adjacent sits the dining area, configured for four people at a wooden circular table, the kind of setup that encourages lingering over morning coffee and evening aperitifs without feeling cramped.

The kitchen runs along one flank of the ground floor, modernised with stainless steel appliances that include a full-size refrigerator-freezer, electric oven, hob, microwave, and dishwasher. A coffee maker sits permanently on the counter. The space functions equally well for those preparing casual breakfasts and for guests inclined toward more elaborate cooking—the layout and equipment support both without pretension. Adjacent to the kitchen, a family bathroom serves the common areas.

Three bedrooms distribute across the upper level and remaining ground floor space. The master bedroom features a double bed dressed in crisp linens and connects directly to its own en-suite shower room, a configuration that grants the primary guests genuine privacy and convenience. One secondary bedroom contains two single beds and includes a dedicated en-suite shower room, suitable for children or guests preferring separate sleeping arrangements. A third bedroom, also furnished with two single beds, uses the family bathroom. This flexible arrangement accommodates families with young children, groups of friends, or extended family gatherings where sleeping configurations require negotiation.

Outdoor Spaces and Living

The grounds surrounding Casa Magallanes command attention immediately upon arrival. A private swimming pool measuring 4 by 2.6 metres, with depths ranging from 1 to 1.2 metres, occupies the central courtyard—shallow enough for children, sufficient for genuine laps. The pool deck extends into a generous terrace area furnished with multiple sun loungers, where the morning light angles differently depending on the season, and afternoon shade arrives courtesy of a covered section equipped with outdoor dining furniture.

A barbecue anchors one corner of the terrace, practical for guests who prefer cooking al fresco rather than confining themselves to the kitchen. This outdoor dining arrangement works particularly well during Puerto Pollença’s long summer season, when temperatures rarely drop below comfortable levels even after sunset. The terrace faces south-southwest, capturing afternoon and early-evening light while remaining shaded during the hottest midday hours—a consideration that residents quickly learn to appreciate during July and August.

Location: Puerto Pollença and the Surrounding Area

Puerto Pollença occupies Mallorca’s northern coast, a working fishing village that has evolved into a considered holiday destination without surrendering its authentic character. The town spreads across a natural harbour sheltered by pine-covered headlands, with the main beach—a 1.2-kilometre strip of golden sand—immediately adjacent to Casa Magallanes. Walking distance to the beach means guests can swim before breakfast or after a late dinner without deliberation or transport logistics.

The immediate vicinity contains supermarkets including a Carrefour Express roughly 400 metres from the property, sufficient for daily provisions and specialty foods. For more comprehensive shopping, Pollença town centre lies 5 kilometres inland and hosts a traditional market each Sunday morning where local producers sell seasonal produce, fish, and prepared foods. Tolo’s restaurant operates a five-minute walk from Casa Magallanes, serving Mediterranean standards like paella alongside substantial English breakfasts—a deliberate nod to the significant British visitor population. The restaurant opens daily from 8 am to 11 pm, accommodating early swimmers and late diners equally.

Beyond immediate Puerto Pollença, the island offers substantial variety within 30-kilometre radius. Golf Pollensa, an 18-hole championship course situated 15 kilometres south, underwent major renovation in 2000 by architect Michael Pinner and implements rigorous sustainability practices using reclaimed water for its lakes and fairways—meaningful detail for environmentally conscious golfers. The medieval hilltop town of Pollença itself, 5 kilometres inland, contains galleries, craft shops, and weekly markets that reveal Mallorca’s artistic community. Alcudia, situated 10 kilometres south, preserves a walled old town dating to the 14th century and hosts a substantial Tuesday and Sunday morning market selling everything from fresh fish to leather goods to locally-made cheese.

The limestone ridge known as the Tramuntana Mountains runs along the northwestern coast, accessible by scenic driving routes and serious hiking trails from multiple points within 20 kilometres of Puerto Pollença. Formentor Peninsula extends northward from Puerto Pollença, terminating at a dramatic lighthouse and offering panoramic views across the channel toward Menorca—roughly 12 kilometres away across open water. For coastal exploration, boat hire operators in Puerto Pollença provide access to coves and smaller beaches inaccessible by car, including Cala Barques and Cala Boquer, each 3-5 kilometres along the coast.

Mallorca’s main airport at Palma de Mallorca lies 65 kilometres south of Puerto Pollença, roughly 75 minutes by car through rolling countryside and coastal highways. The drive itself traverses increasingly interesting terrain, passing through the wine-producing region of Binissalem before descending toward the capital.

February brings the Mallorca Carnival, a multi-day celebration featuring decorated floats, local food specialities, and cultural performances that reflect centuries of Mediterranean tradition. The event typically occurs across the final weekend before Lent, drawing both residents and visitors into street festivals and evening celebrations. Summer months—June through September—offer reliable sunshine, warm swimming temperatures, and predictable weather, though July and August attract significant crowds and command premium pricing. May and October provide an ideal compromise: warm enough for comfortable swimming and outdoor dining, yet markedly less crowded than peak season. Winter months remain mild by northern European standards, with daytime temperatures typically ranging from 12 to 16 degrees Celsius, suitable for exploring inland towns and hiking without the discomfort of summer heat.

Who This Villa Suits Best

Casa Magallanes accommodates specific guest profiles particularly well. Multi-generational family groups—grandparents, parents, children—find the three separate bedrooms and three bathrooms eliminate the morning queuing tensions that arise in smaller properties. The pool provides entertainment and exercise for young swimmers while adults supervise from terrace loungers, and the covered dining area functions as a rain shelter during unexpected weather.

Groups of four to six friends sharing a holiday benefit from the distinct living and dining spaces that allow some guests to rest indoors while others swim or dine outdoors—genuine privacy within shared accommodation. Couples who would normally compete for space on a packed beach find themselves within walking distance of relatively uncrowded swimming, particularly during shoulder seasons when Puerto Pollença attracts fewer visitors.

The property suits active guests who prioritise location and convenience over architectural drama. The 100-metre proximity to the beach means swimmers can visit multiple times daily; golfers can schedule morning rounds at Golf Pollensa and return by afternoon; hikers can access Tramuntana trails within 30 minutes’ drive. Casa Magallanes functions as a practical base for those exploring Mallorca rather than as a retreat designed for immobility.
