The room over the roofs
The room people ask for again: bare stone left where it looks best, white linen, an old palm basket on the wall, and a window that opens straight onto the tiled roofs of the town and the mountains beyond.
A luxury retreat · Pollença, Mallorca
Above the rooftops.
A small stone house set over the old town of Pollença, where every room, terrace and table looks out across the terracotta roofs to the Tramuntana.
01The outlook
A house that was built to look out.
Can Aulí stands on the high edge of Pollença, where the streets give way to the Calvari steps and the town falls away in roofs below. From up here the whole place reads at once — the bell tower, the cypresses, the mountains closing the valley to the north.
It is a small house, kept small on purpose. A handful of rooms in old marès stone, a kitchen that cooks what the island grows, and terraces arranged for one thing above all: the view back over the town and up to the Serra de Tramuntana.
The people who run it have looked after it carefully enough to be rated the way they are. What you get is the quiet of a private house, a few minutes' walk above one of the most beautiful towns on Mallorca.

02Rooms
Each room keeps its own window on the town.
No two are the same — the house is old and was restored, not flattened. What they share: bare stone walls, white linen, the warm colours of the island, and an outlook placed exactly where the town and the mountains are worth looking at.
The terrace rooms
A little larger, with a private terrace of their own — a couple of chairs, a low table, and the whole valley to look at while the light goes down over the Tramuntana.
The detail
The care carries through to the bathrooms and the corners — stone, warm tile, good light and the kind of finish that makes a small house feel considered rather than simply done.
Rooms and dates are handled directly by the house — tell them when you would like to come and how many of you there are, and they will confirm what is free. Enquire about a room
03From the land
A kitchen that starts with the island.
The house has its own table, and it cooks close to the ground — Mallorcan produce, fish off the same coast, vegetables grown the way the island has always grown them. The walls carry photographs of local pottery; the food keeps the same plain, generous hand.
Breakfast is laid out in the morning light and worth getting up for. Dinner is quiet, seasonal, and the kind of meal you stay at the table for long after the plates are cleared.

04The days
What there is to do, from up here.
The town below and the mountains above give the days their shape: a slow morning, a walk or a ride into the Serra, an afternoon by the water, and the spa and the terraces for when you would rather not move at all.
The town & the Calvari
The old town, the Sunday market, the cypress stair up to the Calvari chapel — all a short walk below the house.
The Tramuntana
Some of the best riding and walking on the island starts at the door — the Formentor road, the high passes, the cols the racers train on.
The coves
The bays of the north coast and the clear water below the cliffs are a short drive — the quiet ones the locals keep for themselves.
The spa & the terraces
For the days you stay put: the wellness room, the warm stone, and a terrace with nothing to do but watch the light move over the roofs.
05The house, in full
Stone, linen, the island and the table.
From the rooms and the terraces to the breakfast laid out in the morning and the cove at the end of the road — Can Aulí across a day.
06Where it is
High in Pollença, with the island in reach.
Pollença sits at the foot of the Tramuntana in the north of Mallorca — a stone town of narrow streets, a Sunday market and a Roman bridge, far enough from the resorts to have kept itself. Can Aulí is at the top of it, on the quiet edge by the Calvari.
From here the rest of the island is an easy drive: the port and the beaches below, the Formentor lighthouse out on its cape, Palma and the airport under an hour away across the plain.
