The Pine Walk promenade stretches along the bay from the hotel, a pedestrian pathway lined with pine trees where Agatha Christie once strolled in 1932. The historic town of Pollensa lies just 6km inland, where the famous 365 Calvari Steps climb to a hilltop chapel offering sweeping views. The 14th century Church of Our Lady of the Angels and the lively Sunday market in Plaça Major draw visitors to the cobbled streets.

The mediaeval walled town of Alcudia sits 10km south, with its impressive fortifications, weekly markets, and Roman ruins at Pollentia.

Luxury bespoke hotel holidays to Hotel Hoposa Daina, Puerto Pollensa
Hotel Hoposa Daina sits in a prime seafront position at the start of Puerto Pollensa’s celebrated Pine Walk, where the Bay of Pollensa stretches across northern Mallorca with views towards the Serra de Tramuntana mountains. Originally opened in 1963 at the flagship property of the Hoposa brand, this adults-only hotel has recently undergone a comprehensive Art Deco renovation that honours the golden age of the French Riviera whilst introducing contemporary luxury across its seven-floor main building and the Formentor Building on the second line. The 87 rooms range from cosy single rooms to spectacular penthouse suites with private hot tubs, each designed with clean lines and floor-to-ceiling windows that frame the sea views. The hotel’s saltwater infinity pool appears to flow directly into the bay below, creating a stunning visual effect that has become one of Puerto Pollensa’s most photographed features. Sun loungers surround the pool, whilst the adjacent Lemon Bar serves cocktails against a backdrop of sunset views and live music. The hotel caters particularly well to those looking to explore the area by bike, with a professional bike garage, washing area, mechanical service, and specially designed cyclist menus in the restaurant. For all guests, dining takes place in the restaurant, where Mediterranean breakfasts and dinners showcase local ingredients and seasonal flavours on the romantic terrace. The hotel’s location places guests mere steps from Puerto Pollensa’s local restaurant, including the historic Brisas paella restaurant and La Llonja seafood restaurant housed in the old fish market. Guests can enjoy morning and evening strolls along the Pine Walk promenade, to bookend their day in Mallorcan paradise.

About Mallorca and the Balearics
An Expressions tailor-made holiday to Mallorca, Menorca and Ibiza feature the best four and five star hotels on each of the islands, including prestigious hillside properties, beach hotels and boutique retreats. Lying around 100 miles from the Spanish mainland in the Mediterranean Sea is Mallorca (otherwise known as Majorca), the largest of the Balearic Islands and an incredibly popular destination for tourists. With sun, sea and sand in abundance, the island's attraction as a beach holiday destination is obvious. However, step away from the beaches and you'll find rugged mountains, picturesque rural villages, hilltop monasteries, extensive underground caves, pretty harbours and much more. The islands of Menorca and Ibiza capture the dynamic landscape of Mallorca but on a more intimate scale. Our tailor-made luxury holidays allow you to discover the very best of the Balearic Islands. In the southwest of Mallorca is Palma, a seaside city with an abundance of historical and cultural sights. Dominating the island's west coast are the Tramuntana mountains, where pretty villages sit amidst olive terraces, terraced farmland clings to steep slopes and rugged cliffs drop away to the sparkling sea. In eastern Mallorca is a smaller mountain range which gives way to sand dunes and remote beaches, whilst the unspoilt scenery of the south includes nature reserves, secluded coves and charming fishing villages. The centre of the island is home to a fertile plain, an area with ancient windmills, vineyards and sleepy market towns which offer a glimpse into Mallorca's rural traditions. With a number of interesting towns and villages, stunning beaches and a great variety in the natural scenery, the Balearics are outstanding holiday destinations with plenty of opportunities for activities as well as seaside relaxation. Many of the popular tourist resorts are in the north and west of Mallorca, but there are many places to discover in other parts of the island. The varied terrain provides excellent opportunities for cycling and hiking, with numerous trails which are suited to walkers of all ages and fitness levels. Cuitadella, in Menorca, has an enchanting old town and archaeological sites, while Mahon, the island's capital, is one of the Mediterranean's most picturesque cities. Well-known for its appeal with tourists, Ibiza is also home to a wealth of tranquil coves, lush forests, and small villages which encapsulate the Balearics' laid-back lifestyle.

Olives, almonds and citrus fruit are grown across the island, as are the grapes which are used to produce a selection of white, rosé and red wines. Local specialities in the Balearics include ‘Sobrasada’ (a type of sausage), ‘Arros Brut’ (saffron rice cooked with meat and vegetables), ‘Frit mallorqui’ (fried offal with potatoes and vegetables) and ‘Ensaimada’ (a sweet bun). Local desserts are made with almonds or nougat, and seafood dishes, including ‘Caldereta de Ilagosta’ (lobster stew), are a staple. Speciality spirits from Menorca include Maó Gin, made from juniper berries, and Port. The Hierbas Ibicencas, and Frígola in Ibiza are aromatic drinks built around aniseed and thyme respectively.
Climate of the Balearic Islands
The Balearic Islands have a typical Mediterranean climate with hot, dry summers and mild and stormy winters. There is some variation across Mallorca as the Tramuntana Mountains protect the southwest of the island. Average summer temperatures are around 25 degrees, when seas are also warm and a cooling breeze prevents excessive heat. Spring and autumn are great seasons to visit as temperatures are pleasant but there are fewer tourists, although nights can be cold and there is some rainfall. Average temperatures in winter are around 10 degrees with occasional showers and snow falling in the mountains.
