A five-bedroom townhouse in a historic village on the Balearic Island of Majorca

This five-bedroom, three-bath townhouse is in Pollença, a historic village with about 17,000 residents near the northern coast of the Balearic island of Majorca.

Pollença is dotted with 17th- and 18th-century buildings fronting narrow streets with many historic attractions, such as the 365 Calvari steps and the Convent and Cloister of Sant Domingo. The main square, called the Plaça Major, has outdoor cafes, and the surrounding streets have bars, shops and small hotels. A century ago, Pollença was a mecca for writers, painters and musicians, and the town still cultivates the arts, offering exhibitions, music festivals and other cultural events.

This townhouse is within walking distance of the Plaça Major, while other attractions, such as the Pollença Golf Club and the beaches of Port de Pollença, are minutes away by car. Palma de Majorca, the capital city of the Balearic Islands, which has an international airport, is about 35 miles southwest.

A traditional two-bedroom cottage in the old town of Ibiza

This traditional two-bedroom, two-bathroom cottage is in the old town of Ibiza, the largest city on the Balearic island of the same name.

Called Dalt Vila, the fortified old town, a UNESCO World Heritage site, sits on a hill above contemporary Ibiza Town, a port on the Mediterranean Sea known for its vibrant nightlife and dance clubs. Dalt Vila is characterized by classic whitewashed dwellings with small windows in a labyrinth of cobblestone streets and alleys. More than 2,500 years old, the coastal fortress city has 16th-century ramparts with impressive portals and bastions, featuring such historic gems as the Castle of Ibiza and a striking cathedral dedicated to Santa María, the patron saint of Ibiza.

There are plenty of restaurants, bars and boutiques in Dalt Vila, along with galleries and museums. Transportation is by car, taxi or bus. Dalt Vila is about six miles northeast of Ibiza Airport.
