Puerto Portals (Portals Nous, Calvià)

Puerto Portals is a large private marina in Portals Nous, in the municipality of Calvià on the Bay of Palma, about 10 km west of central Palma and 16 km from the airport. You reach it by car off the Ma-1 motorway or by the Palma–Calvià buses that stop 0.5 km away, and park in the marina’s own car park, where the first hour is free. The operator lists 701 berths for boats from 8 to 60 m, with restaurants, bars and fashion boutiques on the quays. It suits people who like to look at yachts over lunch or a drink, and sailors who want a fully serviced base near Palma.

What to expect

A big, modern yacht harbour with a long shopping and dining front. The operator describes a commercial area of restaurants, bars, fashion boutiques, nautical companies, jewellers and estate agents; its Blue Marina pages mention more than 100 businesses on site. Wikipedia describes the port as a meeting place for business people, celebrities and members of the Spanish royal family during their summer stays at the nearby Marivent palace. With berths up to 60 m, expect large motor yachts and restaurant prices to match.

The harbour is protected by a breakwater of 880 m and a counter-breakwater of 240 m, sheltering 10.5 ha of water, according to Wikipedia; the Torre de Capitanía stands on the counter-breakwater. The marina has a municipal sailing school that runs sailing, windsurf, paddle surf and kayak courses all year for children and adults, and it hosts regattas and events through the year. In November 2026 its calendar listed Dragon class winter series regattas and a Christmas market from 11 December to 6 January.

Two small beaches lie just outside the marina: Platja de Punta Portals, about 0.4 km to the west, and Platja de l’Oratori, about 0.5 km to the east (OpenStreetMap).
