Mallorca, a feast for the senses
Mallorca has long outgrown its old image of sun, sea and sand, establishing itself as a place to experience the Mediterranean at its most authentic. Travellers today aren’t only looking for relaxation: they are also seeking ‘emotional value’, that intangible feeling that comes from genuine local experiences and an intimate connection with the culture of the destination.
At Pollentia Rentals, we believe modern luxury is defined by the exclusivity of the experience. From our base in Pollensa, we act as hosts to a region whose prestige has continued to rise, with property values increasing by 55 percent since 2015.
The secrets of Mallorca’s pantry
The secret of island cooking lies in the purity of its ingredients. During your stay, there are certain products you simply must try to really understand the Mallorcan palate:
- Oli de Mallorca (olive oil): This liquid gold, protected by its Designation of Origin, is the very soul of local cuisine. With fruity notes and herbal aromas drawn from centuries-old olive trees, it is an essential part of the beloved pa amb oli ritual (rustic bread drizzled with olive oil).
- Sobrassada: More than a cured sausage, it is a symbol of our culture. Look for versions made with fragrant tap de cortí paprika, which gives it its rich colour and that perfect balance of smoky sweetness and soft, spreadable texture that melts in the mouth.
- Vegetable gardens of the north: You cannot talk about local food without mentioning Sa Pobla, famous across the island for its potatoes. A delicious range of fresh, vibrant local produce fills the markets, offering a level of freshness rarely found in standard commercial supply chains.
- Ensaïmada: This is not just the island’s most iconic pastry. It is a masterpiece of traditional baking, protected by an official quality label that preserves its Mallorcan origin and long tradition. Plain or filled, every bite tells a story shaped by centuries of Mallorcan cooking.
The villa experience: gastronomy and exclusivity
The property market in northern Mallorca is exceptional, with almost three quarters (75%) of available accommodation made up of private houses and villas. Pollentia Rentals carefully selects homes that provide the ideal setting for relaxed dining based on seasonal, local produce.
Staying in a villa is not simply about where you sleep. It is the freedom of having a high-quality kitchen where market finds can be transformed into an intimate dinner. In a place where life is unhurried and peaceful, enjoying artisan sobrassada on a terrace overlooking the Tramuntana mountains is an experience no hotel can match.
