The Neighborhood:
With over 90 acres of private land, Villa Oscols d'Alt offers unparalleled seclusion and tranquility. Yet, you're never far from the vibrant energy of Mallorca. A short 5-10 minute drive takes you to either Alcúdia or Pollença, where you can explore charming harbors, stroll along palm-lined promenades, and discover diverse beaches—sandy, rocky, or pebble—to suit your preference.
Alcúdia and Pollença beckon with their unique charms. Alcúdia's historic quarter immerses you in the island's rich past, while Pollença's expansive promenade is among the most picturesque in Mallorca. Both towns offer idyllic settings for leisurely exploration and a variety of watersports.
For a taste of glamour and natural beauty, venture to the Formentor peninsula. Renowned for its Hollywood allure, secluded coves, dramatic cliffs, and awe-inspiring views, it's a favorite among celebrities. Don't miss the iconic lighthouse at Cap de Formentor, guiding the way.
While exploring Alcúdia, consider a visit to the nearby Sa Bassa Blanca Museum. Its extraordinary art collection, enchanting rose garden, and Moorish architecture provide a delightful surprise amidst the surrounding natural beauty. With its proximity to two bays teeming with hidden beaches, the museum is often overlooked—but well worth discovering.
