Pollença old town rooftops with the stone church tower in the middle distance and the Serra de Tramuntana rising behind under a wide blue sky

Adults only · Pollença, Mallorca

Above the rooftops.

A small stone house on the high edge of Pollença, where every room and terrace looks over the old town to the Serra de Tramuntana. Recognised by Condé Nast Traveler, 2021.

Look down

The house

Built to look out over the town.

Can Aulí sits on the upper edge of Pollença, where the streets run out at the Calvari steps and the town drops away below in terracotta tiles. From up here the bell tower, the cypresses and the Tramuntana are all visible at once.

It's a small place, kept that way. A handful of rooms in old marès stone, each one restored with care for the original fabric, and terraces arranged around what the house does well: the view over the town and up to the mountains.

The people who look after it have done so carefully enough that Condé Nast Traveler named it in 2021, and guests have since held it at 4.7 across 167 reviews.

Rooms

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.

Pool & wellness

Water, stone and a great deal of quiet.

The pool sits on the terrace below the house: long, clear and lined in pale stone, with umbrellas and chairs around it for the afternoons when moving feels unnecessary.

The spa alongside is small and calm: a place for treatment and rest, not performance. Stone walls, warm towels, and the kind of stillness a house this size can actually deliver.

The table

A kitchen that starts with the island.

Breakfast is worth getting up for: local pastries, island fruit, the smell of good coffee in the morning light. Mallorcan produce, cooked plainly and well.

The house cooks close to the island: fish from the same coast, vegetables grown the way they always have been. The food is the same kind of plain, generous thing as the rooms.

The 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 pool and the terraces for when you would rather not move at all.

Pollença old town

The Sunday market, the Calvari stair, the Roman bridge. The whole of the old town begins a short walk below the house.

Into the Tramuntana

Cycling and walking routes into the Serra begin at the door. The Formentor road, the high passes, the cols the pros train on.

The coves

The clear-water bays of the north coast are a short drive. The quiet ones the locals keep for themselves.

The pool & spa

For the days you stay put: the long pool, the wellness room, and terraces with nothing to do but watch the light.

Traditional Mallorcan crafts and pottery laid out at a local market

Craft & culture

Potters, weavers, the old market towns — the island has been making things this way for a long time. Pollença's own Sunday market draws the best of the local makers.

On the water

Kayaking the cliffs, snorkelling the clear bays, a sailing trip out of Port de Pollença. The north coast keeps its best water close.

Where 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.
