Beaches and Coves in the Portals Area

The southwest of Mallorca, specifically the area comprising Portals and its surroundings, is extremely well known for its beautiful beaches and coves, appreciated by tourists and locals alike due to the crystal clear water, fine sand and breathtaking scenery. Below you can read a short description of the most special beaches and coves in the area and the services they offer:

Playa Punta Portals

This small beach, only 150 m long, is ideal for families with children, as the water is accessed via a gentle slope. The turquoise water, despite being very close to the marina, is set against fine white sand. This way you can enjoy breathtaking views of luxury boats while enjoying a relaxed atmosphere. There are many services (showers, toilets, sun lounger rental, lifeguard service, etc.) managed by the Slow Life Bar. You can enjoy cocktails and vegetarian food.

Playa de s’Oratori

Between the urban centres of Portals Nous and Bendinat, you will find a small sandy beach in the vicinity of the marina breakwater. In front of the beach, you can see the island of en Sales, which protects bathers from the waves. Although there is an abundance of natural elements such as bushes and pine trees, some buildings can be seen. There are sun loungers, sunshades, showers, lifeguard service and access for the disabled. The beach has several restaurants and beach bars, such as, for example, the Tabgha Mediterranean cuisine beach bar.

Playa de Illetas

The beach is located in a residential area between Bendinat and Cas Catalá. It is part of a group of three beaches very close to each other in front of several islets, which hold back the waves. However, it should be noted that the area is full of residential buildings and hotels and therefore fills up quickly. There are water activities, sunbeds, umbrellas, showers and lifeguard service. Nearby there is a wide range of restaurants, bars, beach bars and even two beach clubs offering breathtaking views.

Cala Comtessa

Opposite the residential area of Illetes is Cala Comtessa, a small paradise with very clear and calm waters 120 m from the islet of Sa Caleta. The access to the sea is through a gentle slope, so it is ideal for families with children. As it is situated next to a residential area, you will find many houses in the surroundings, however, you will enjoy views mainly of nature and pine trees that will provide shade in some parts. There are not many services, but there are showers and a lifeguard.
