Location & Approach The Puerto Portals marina was born out of the need for more mooring places on the island of Mallorca. The marina is situated on the south coast of Mallorca, just west of the capital city Palma, near the resort of Magalluf. Actually, the distance from Palma is just 9km and 16 from the Palma international airport, which means that your party can hit the waves as soon as they touch down in Mallorca.
It’s this proximity to Palma (39° 32'N - 02° 35'E) and the quality of the services provided that make Puerto Portals a top attraction for any groups sailing the Balearic Islands and Mallorca in particular. The shoreline here is more or less continuous, with a couple of islets to the east of the marina as well as some just outside the breakwater which has its entry point to the west, making entry a tad difficult when the winds blow from the sea.
Infrastructure & Ambience Built in 1986, this marina has become an epitome of class and wealth, as it provides top services to its clients and has been maintaining that high standard for a while now. 670 mooring ranging from 8 to 80 meters beckon you to the azure waters of the Mediterranean. The layout of Puerto Portals is made up of the administrative, the maintenance and repair shops, winter storage facilities and complementary services.
The marina is also equipped with an 80Tm travel lift and a 8Tm crane, it has a dry dock and a repair service, electricity and drinking water, not to mention 24 hour security and provides weather service to guest crews.
In recognition of those quality services, Puerto Portals has been awarded the prestigious Blue Flag for Marinas and Harbours which should act as a guarantee for the sailors looking to come here. Most of the population arriving here is made up of British holidaymakers, which would explain the chic restaurants, the pubs and the neighboring golf course.
In fact, this marina is so famous that it manages to host a series of events that manage to draw in huge crowds of aficionados. Anything from regattas, vintage car exhibitions, raft races to the famous Three Kings Festival and the Carnival Parade at the beginning of the year takes place at this marina.
Outside the marina, the visitor will find a range of inexpensive pizza bars, fashion boutiques, boat hire operators, yacht brokers, a sailing school, banks and a very popular Marinaland which hosts regular dolphin shows to the delight of younger tourists.
