A 19th-century villa converted into an attractive hotel, the Bahia occupies a terrific waterfront spot along Pollenca's pine-shaded esplanade, with recently spruced-up rooms and splashes of blue and turquoise; the best rooms naturally have balconies with sea views. Staff work hard to please, and the location – peaceful but close to the action – is perfect.
