Hotels open during Winter 2016/2017

[kcdc230]

Just arrived back home today after 2 wonderful weeks in PP, and after being at home for about 4 hours, we are already suffering post Pollensa blues and trying to work out when we will be back!

One thing we would like to do that we've never done before is visit PP during the Winter. We're looking at maybe visiting in February 2017 as easyjet have flings from Luton. However, we are struggling to find which hotels are open at that time of year? Sis Pins is showing availability, but that's about it. I was thinking that Daina and Miramar would both be open, but neither are showing availability and I don't know if that's because they are closed, or just that they are not taking bookings that far ahead at the moment.

Does anybody know which hotels tend to open during the Winter?

Have you considered a villa or apartment? A lot of the local restaurants are open all year or were when we had a 6 week winter break in PP. It was some time ago now, but we had àn unforgettable time. Just love the place even in winter.

Daina and Miramar are closed during winter ..Sis Pins and Galleon were open . Not sure if Mar Calma was open

Daina and Miramar don't usually open until March/April.

Just had a quick look on La Goleta website and i think they will be open.

The Hostal Bellavista are also open during the winter.

I would recommend the winter, some don't like it as too quiet but we like peace and quiet and its probably our favourite time and my birthday is at the end of February so I am maybe biased.

Sis pins looks great in the winter when nearly everywhere else has white washed windows and chairs stacked up.

Take warm clothes as you might need them. Can be T shirt weather during the day if you are lucky or cold and we have seen locals making snowmen on the mountain roads although only once in 10 years of visits. I just love it

Thanks to everybody for the replies.

We have thought about an apartment, but we are only looking at a short trip, probably only 4 or 5 nights, so would like to indulge in a hotel for a change.

Looks like we are leaning towards Sis Pins, based on what everybody has said.

Mark, thanks for the great photos - we absolutely love PP and the buzz the whole place has during the summer months, but after 10 visits over a 14 year period, we suddenly came up with the idea of visiting during quieter months, just to see what it's like. I love your photo of the airport - can't wait to see it like that!

We are breaking with tradition and coming out in November. Booked a very reasonably priced room at Cal Lloro in the Old Town. We've never properly explored Pollensa but will still be able drive over to visit favourite places in the port. Will let you know how we get on, but I'm really looking forward to coming out of season.

I never did get around to adding more photos, maybe one day.

Disorderly, you have a PM

Thank you to everybody for your replies.

We have just booked for 4 nights at Sis Pins at the start of February!

Very excited as it will be the first time we've ever been to the island out of season - we're already planning our various day trips.

That's something to look forward to after Christmas, I am slightly jealous

A quiet airport to look forward to when you arrive.
