Puerto Portals, MallorcaChic marina on the south west coast of Majorca

Puerto Portals is the very smart marina attached to the town of Portal Nous. Come here for glamorous shopping, fascinating people watching, expensive drinking, and of course, the flashy boats moored in the marina. It's a real international place - think of a smaller Monte Carlo and you're nearly there.

It's not actually that big - you could walk from one end to the other in five minutes - but the point of being here is to sit and enjoy the world as it goes by. With street cafes and restaurants aplenty, you can come here for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and admire the luxury yachts and the ferrari's & porsches (and of course, their owners!) that parade up and down the front. 

There are some designer boutiques for shopping, selling jewellery & watches, fashion, gifts and nautical shops. In between, you'll also find swanky estate agents and yacht brokers.

In addition to the marina, there is a lovely beach to the east of the front, and one of the best beach bars on Majorca - Roxys Beach Bar. It is run by South Americans and serves up great sangria and cocktails, along with snacks & sandwiches. It's a fab place to round off a day of sun-bathing, and they offer a dinghy service to boats anchored in the small bay. 

The other attraction in the area is Marineland where you'll find dolphin and sea lion shows, exotic birds, penguins, an aquarium and a small children's water park. Next door to Marineland is Mood Beach Club which attracts a good mix of locals and holiday makers.

Hotels in Puerto Portals

There aren't actually any hotels in Puerto Portals itself. There are however, plenty of apartment rentals in the high-rise buildings surrounding the marina if you are happy to go self-catered. Above Portals lies the town of Portals Nous which has a number of holiday hotel options. ...more

Restaurants in Puerto Portals

For such a small place, Portals is blessed with a great choice of restaurants. The swankiest of them all is Michelin starred Tristan (read our Review of Tristan Restaurant) which has an elegant spot at the far end of the marina. The food here is avant-guarde and the restaurant attracts a smart & international clientele. You might also like to try the slightly less formal Tristan Bistro next door. ...more
