Living in Pollença
Port de Pollença asks more per square metre than the district that shares the municipality's name, roughly a fifth more in the July 2026 report, and rising almost twice as fast. A third district, Cala Sant Vicenç, carries no price at all, so a buyer there has no district-level benchmark. And the name itself is a trap: a district row and a municipality row both go by Pollença, covering different areas at different prices.
Just under eighteen thousand people live across the municipality, on the Censo Anual count at 1 January 2025. Just over a quarter of them hold a foreign nationality and just over three in ten were born outside Spain, both figures derived by subtraction because INE publishes neither total. The space between those two measures is naturalisation. British nationals are the largest single foreign nationality in the nationality count, ahead of Romanian, Italian, Colombian and German. That is who lives here, which is a different question from who buys.
Two things this guide cannot hand you. There is no climate table, because AEMET's principal-stations normals publication lists no station here; it does run an observing station at Port de Pollença, but current observations are not normals and must not be read as them. And there is no train, because Pollença appears on none of the published stop lists. Health cover is more local: a health centre in the municipality itself.
The verdict
Honestly considered, both sides.
The upside is real. So is the downside. Both matter more than any brochure will admit.
The case for
The two priced districts are separated out
The July 2026 report gives an asking price per square metre for the district named Pollença and for Port de Pollença on their own rows, so the gap between them is visible rather than blended away into one municipal figure.
British nationals lead the resident nationality table
In the Censo Anual for 1 January 2025, British nationals are the largest single foreign nationality recorded here, 926 of them, ahead of Romanian, Italian, Colombian, German and Moroccan nationals. That is resident stock, not buyers.
A health centre inside the municipality
IB-Salut lists CS de Pollença as the municipality's own health centre and places the municipality in the Tramuntana health sector, whose published reference hospital is Hospital Comarcal de Inca. Retrieved 1 September 2026.
Three in ten residents were born outside Spain
Derived by subtraction from the Censo Anual totals for 1 January 2025, 5,360 of the 17,801 residents were born abroad. Birthplace is the steadier measure of the two, because naturalisation does not move it the way nationality does.
The two official population counts nearly agree
The padron gives 17,807 for 1 January 2025 and the Censo Anual gives 17,801, six people apart. On the other three Mallorcan municipalities we cover, the Censo Anual comes out higher; here it is lower.
The case against
No published climate normals for the municipality
AEMET's normals publication for 1981 to 2010 lists four principal stations under Illes Balears and none of them is here, so we print no climate table. The station at Port de Pollença publishes current observations, which are a different thing.
No train service and no station here
The island's transport authority publishes lines for Mallorca, and Pollença appears on none of the T1, T2 or T3 stop lists. Sa Pobla, the T2 terminus, is a separate municipality. There is no service to point you at.
Cala Sant Vicenç carries no published price
It appears in the July 2026 district list with no figure beside it. The stated rule is that an area without a minimum sample of adverts is rolled up to the layer above, so a buyer there has no benchmark to check against.
Two different rows share the name Pollença
The same July 2026 report carries a municipality-tier row and a district-tier row both labelled Pollença. They cover different areas and carry different asking prices, and the label alone will not tell you which one a quoted figure came from.
The reference hospital is in another municipality
IB-Salut names Hospital Comarcal de Inca as the Tramuntana sector's reference hospital, and Inca is a separate municipality. What is published inside Pollença is a health centre. We publish no distances or travel times anywhere.
Editor's note
Where you might be better off elsewhere
Pollença suits a buyer who has a view about the town-versus-port question and wants the two priced apart rather than averaged. If the split is the appealing part, both Palma and Alcúdia are broken into districts on our list, Palma into far more of them, with thirteen of its sixteen carrying a July 2026 price against three of three in Alcúdia. If a climate table matters to you, AEMET publishes normals for two stations it names for Palma, and Palma is also the municipality on our list that the published train and metro lines serve, with the caveat that it is split across at least two health sectors and no single reference hospital can be named for it. If you would rather be somewhere with a smaller foreign-national share, Menorca is the lowest of the four islands we cover, a little over a seventh of residents against just over a quarter here. And nothing in this batch covers rents, running costs or housing stock, so there are no figures behind the second-home and holiday-let questions on any of our pages.

Pollença FAQ
Honest answers to the questions buyers actually ask.
Should I be looking at the Pollença district or the port?+
They are priced as separate markets, so the choice is yours to make on evidence rather than on a blended average. The port is the dearer of the two per square metre, by roughly a fifth on the July 2026 figures, and it also moved faster over the preceding year, rising close to twice as much as the district that shares the municipality's name. Both figures are asking prices rather than agreed sale prices.
Why do I see two different prices quoted for Pollença?+
Because two different rows carry that name. The July 2026 report has a municipality-tier row for Pollença and, inside the municipality, a district-tier row also called Pollença. They are different areas and they carry different figures, the district one being the lower of the two. Whenever someone quotes you a price for Pollença, the first question worth asking is which of those two rows it came from.
What about Cala Sant Vicenç?+
It is listed as one of the three districts but carries no price at all in the July 2026 report. The stated reason is sample size: an area without a minimum number of adverts is rolled up into the geography above it rather than published on its own. So there is no benchmark to check an asking price against there, and anyone offering you one for Cala Sant Vicenç has built it themselves.
How many people live here, and how international is it?+
17,801 on the Censo Anual count at 1 January 2025, with the padron putting it six people higher at 17,807. Subtracting Spanish nationals from the Censo Anual total leaves 4,541 foreign nationals, just over a quarter, and 5,360 born outside Spain, just over three in ten; INE publishes neither of those totals itself. The gap between the two measures is naturalisation, and it is proportionally the smallest of the units in this batch.
Which nationalities are largest among residents?+
British nationals, at 926, followed by Romanian at 462, Italian at 451, Colombian at 289, German at 286 and Moroccan at 284, as the annual census table prints them for 1 January 2025. This is the one municipality in this batch where British nationals top the list. It is a count of residents by nationality, and it says nothing about who is buying property, which no source here answers.
Is there a weather record for Pollença?+
Not a normals table. AEMET's principal-stations publication for 1981 to 2010 lists four entries under Illes Balears and none of them is in this municipality, so this guide shows no climate figures for Pollença and does not borrow the Palma ones. AEMET does operate an observing station at Port de Pollença, but that publishes current conditions rather than long-run averages, and the two are not interchangeable.
Can I reach Pollença by train?+
No. The island's transport authority publishes train and metro lines for Mallorca, and this municipality appears on none of the T1, T2 or T3 stop lists. Sa Pobla is the T2 terminus and lies in a different municipality altogether. There is no station here and no service, and this guide publishes no distances or journey times, so we cannot tell you what reaching the terminus involves.
Where is the nearest hospital?+
We do not publish nearest anything, because that implies a distance we have no source for. What we can tell you is the published arrangement: IB-Salut places this municipality in its Tramuntana health sector and names Hospital Comarcal de Inca as that sector's reference hospital, in a different municipality. Inside Pollença itself, IB-Salut lists a health centre, CS de Pollença. Both were read on 1 September 2026.
What are the costs of buying property in Pollença?+
When buying property in Pollença, budget for property transfer tax (ITP) of 8% up to €400,000 (9% up to €600,000, 10% up to €1,000,000, 12% up to €2,000,000, 13% above that, progressive bands determine the average rate applied to the taxable base) [ATIB: https://www.atib.es/TA/contenido.aspx?Id=16198&lang=es], plus roughly 3-4% in notary, land registry and legal fees. Agency commission is usually paid by the seller. On the mainland and the Balearics, new builds pay VAT (IVA) of 10% plus AJD stamp duty instead of ITP. Transfer tax is set by Illes Balears rather than nationally, and reduced rates can apply for main homes and younger buyers.
What are the ongoing costs of owning property in Pollença?+
Annual property ownership costs in Pollença include IBI (property tax) of 0.4-1.1% of cadastral value, community fees (for apartments), rubbish collection tax (basura), utility bills, and property insurance. Budget approximately 2-4% of property value per year for all running costs. IBI is set by the town hall of Pollença within a national band, so it is municipal rather than regional.
What taxes do I pay when selling property in Pollença?+
When selling property in Pollença, you pay capital gains tax (plusvalía) on the profit at rates of 19-26% depending on the gain amount. Non-residents have 3% of the sale price withheld at completion. You may also pay municipal capital gains tax. Main residence exemptions may apply for residents over 65. Capital gains tax is national, so it is the same in Illes Balears as anywhere in Spain. Plusvalia municipal is set by the town hall of Pollença and has had two calculation methods since the 2021 reform, so ask your lawyer which one is cheaper for you.
Can I still get a Golden Visa by buying property in Spain?+
No. Spain withdrew the Golden Visa property investment route in April 2025, so buying in Pollença no longer leads to residency. Non-EU buyers who want to live in Spain apply for a separate permit instead, most often the non-lucrative visa (proof of income and private health insurance) or the digital nomad visa (remote work for non-Spanish clients). Ask an immigration lawyer which route fits your situation before you buy.
Transfer tax rates as of August 2026. Rates are set per autonomous community and do change. Confirm the current figures with a Spanish lawyer or tax adviser before you budget.
