Portals Nous Holidays

Portals Nous is a smart, relaxed resort on Majorca’s south-west coast, best known for its attractive setting, easy access to Palma and the glamorous Puerto Portals marina just below the village. It suits holidaymakers who want a polished base with good restaurants, pleasant beaches and a quieter evening scene rather than a busy party resort.

The main beach, often called Playa Oratori or Portals Nous beach, is a sandy cove with clear, sheltered water and views towards the marina. It is a good choice for swimming and sunbathing, with places nearby for drinks or lunch. There are also smaller coves around the Bendinat and Costa d’en Blanes area, although some are compact and can feel busy in peak season. The coastline here is more about neat coves and calm water than long, sweeping beaches.

Puerto Portals is a major part of the appeal. The marina is lined with yachts, waterfront restaurants, cafés and boutiques, making it a pleasant place for a stroll at any time of day. Dining is one of the resort’s strengths, with options ranging from casual tapas and Mediterranean cooking to smart marina restaurants. In the village itself, you will also find everyday amenities, bars and places to eat without needing to head down to the harbour.

Nightlife in Portals Nous is stylish but low-key. Evenings tend to revolve around dinner, cocktails and relaxed drinks by the marina rather than late-night clubs. If you want a livelier night out, Palma and some of the larger south-west resorts are within easy reach by taxi or local transport.

Popular things to do include spending time at the marina, visiting nearby Bendinat Golf, taking a boat trip from the coast, or heading into Palma for its cathedral, old town, shops and restaurants. Families may also consider Marineland Mallorca in nearby Costa d’en Blanes. Overall, Portals Nous is a good fit for couples, friends and families looking for a comfortable Majorcan resort with a refined feel and excellent access to both the coast and the capital.
