Guide to Puerto Portals - Tourist and Travel Information
Puerto Portals in the South-West of Mallorca is the Port most popular with the rich and famous
Puerto Portals Resort and Marina
Puerto Portals, a stylish fashionable resort close to Palma, has grown in size steadily over the last decade. This is largely due to the popularity of the Portals Marina where you will see a multitude of Luxury Yachts, Superyachts and incredibly expensive Vehicles.
Needless to say that the area is frequented by the rich and famous who come to enjoy the gastronomy of Mallorca and shop for the latest fashions in the Designer stores. The Port, similarly styled to that of Puerto Banus in the Costa del Sol, has a very impressive range of International Restaurants which line the exclusive harbour.
Many tourists enjoy people watching at the Marina, trying to spot celebrities or wealthy people while admiring the Luxury Yachts berthed there.
Check out ways to get there
The Marina is a fair size (670 berths) with visitor berths and guest berths available. You will often see vessels waiting in the bay of Palmanova until a berth becomes available.
Parking
Puerto Portals has a time control entry system, take a ticket as you drive down to the Marina. There is an option to park to the right hand side of the road or you can travel along the one-way system until you reach a large car park at the far end.
Beaches
There are two beach areas, a small beach at the start of the Port and the main beach is at the very end.
The small beach is popular with tourists and locals. From this beach, you can see over to Palmanova at the opposide side of the bay. This beach can be crowded especially in Summer however many people prefer it because they can enjoy watching the vessels of all sizes travelling in and out of the Marina.
Portals Gastronomy
A range of elegant restaurants, bars, shops and designer boutiques line the Marina and in the evenings it comes alive with an almost electric atmosphere.
Puerto Portals is a popular venue for yachting regattas, vintage car reunions and other exhibitions.
Many of the Restaurants have special lunch menus but if you wish to dine in the evening, we recommend that you reserve a table in advance. Some of the best known Restaurants are Flanigan and Wellies. Cappuccino Cafe has a prime position at the Marina serving everything from breakfast to evening meals.
Although most of the Restaurants at the Marina are expensive, you can also find a few less expensive dining options.
