Unveiling the Hidden Gem: Portals Vells

Portals Vells is a recent revelation, a secret shared by numerous explorers who have been captivated by its charm. Despite its proximity to the bustling town of Magaluf, the moment you step into Portals Vells, you are transported to a world far removed from the party scenes and throngs of people. This secluded haven is a mere 20-minute drive from Palma. As you leave behind the lively streets of Magaluf, you embark on a journey through a narrow, winding road that takes you deep into the heart of nature. Your destination? A stunning cove with turquoise waters and a sandy beach that seems to have been crafted by the gods themselves.

Parking at Portals Vells is a breeze with a small car park conveniently located at the entrance to the beach. However, street parking is limited, so if you're planning a visit during the peak summer months, it's advisable to get there early to secure a spot.

The swimming conditions at Portals Vells are nothing short of excellent. The crystal clear, calm waters are easily accessible from both the beach and the surrounding rocks. Despite its allure, the beach rarely feels overcrowded, thanks to its slightly hidden location and limited parking. Sunbathing at Portals Vells is a unique experience. While there are a few sunbeds available for rent, there's ample space for you to simply spread out your towel. The cove is surrounded by large, flat rock formations, a stark contrast to the sharp, jagged rocks found at many of Mallorca's beaches. These flat rocks provide plenty of comfortable spots for you to lay down and soak up the sun.

Portals Vells is home to a quaint beach restaurant that offers a basic menu. While it's not a gourmet dining destination, it's a charming spot to grab a bite. However, for a more personalized meal, consider packing your own cooler bag with your favorite snacks and drinks.

Portals Vells is a welcoming destination for all. Its easy accessibility from the car park and the calm waters make it a suitable spot for visitors of all ages and interests. The long stretches of flat rock also add to its appeal, making it a versatile location for everyone.

If you're up for some adventure, don't forget to bring along your hiking shoes. The cliff walking trails in either direction offer a chance to explore the area further. There are several other beautiful beaches nearby, including Playa del Mago and Cap Falco, which are definitely worth a visit.
