Portals Vells
Portals Vells, Balearic Islands, Spain
Portals Vells is a small coastal locality in the municipality of Calvià on Mallorca’s south‑west coast, made up of a string of tiny sandy and rocky coves with clear Mediterranean water—a favourite for relaxed swimming, snorkelling and sunbathing close to Portals Nous and the Puerto Portals marina.
What Makes It Special
The area’s charm comes from its dramatic rocky outcrops, small sea inlets and occasional sea‑caves that create sheltered swim spots and interesting snorkelling terrain, plus several photogenic viewpoints over the coves.
Insider Tips
Arrive early (or later in the afternoon) to find parking and quieter coves, bring water shoes and snorkel gear for the often‑rocky seabed, and be prepared for steps and uneven paths—the area is not wheelchair‑friendly.
