Christmas park in Port Adriano opens: ice skating with sea view and 30‑meter giant slide
From today until January 7 the luxury marina revolves around children's laughter, lights and roasted almonds
The lamps along the quay have been blinking since early afternoon, and when the sun sets behind the breakwater the warm light reflects in small waves. From today it's time again at the luxury marina Port Adriano: put on the skates and slide. The 'Parque de Navidad' opens today and remains open until January 7.
The main attractions are quickly told: an ice rink that looks directly over the harbor basin, and a free 30-meter-long giant slide that especially delights children. On a clear December day, when a little wind moves through the palms and the sailboats appear like dark spikes on the horizon, the oddly beautiful scene appears — skates, Christmas music and the sea.
The Christmas park is open daily from 12:00 to 20:00. Only on Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve are the hours shorter. A handy, practical tip: those who come in the afternoon often catch the softer, sunny mood on the promenade; in the evening the atmosphere is more festive and louder. From Monday to Wednesday visitors may encounter Santa Claus — not an official program, but a nice addition for families looking for a photo moment.
Food and drink are provided by stalls from the local restaurants in the marina. That means no anonymous snack stands, but dishes and drinks from establishments you know from the summer. The scent of fried dough and hot drinks mixes with the salty wind. For many restaurateurs this is a welcome breather in the low season — guests stay longer, may go to a restaurant in the marina afterwards and give the local economy a small boost; at the same time other markets rearranged dates, for example the Nordic Christmas Market in Palma opening postponed.
Those familiar with island life know: events like these enliven the winter. Port Adriano has always been a place where luxury boats and family outings meet; similar initiatives can be seen in the city, such as Palma Harbour's first Christmas programme. Now festive lighting and children's laughter are added. On the benches sit pensioners in thick coats, next to them young parents with hot chocolate, and sometimes you hear a vendor touting last-minute gifts. Small scenes form that you normally associate with city centers — only with the smell of the sea in the background.
Why is this good for Mallorca? Because such events extend the season and draw people to places that usually shine in summer even during quieter months, as part of Palma's Christmas programme with over 300 events. They create job opportunities for service staff and provide extra revenue for local restaurants and service providers. And they bring residents and visitors together: a mix of regulars, local families and travelers who want to experience a different Mallorca.
A practical tip for visiting: it gets busy there quickly in the evenings; parking at the quay is limited, especially on weekends. If you prefer it quieter, come in the afternoons on weekdays. Dress warmly — the wind usually comes from the open sea — and sturdy shoes are recommended for the slide. Hold small children by the hand; the slide is fast but built to be safe.
A look ahead: events like these can also inspire people to start small traditions of their own. A walk after skating, a portion of churros at the marina or a stroll through the illuminated marina — these are memories that last. And for Port Adriano this means: a harbor that shows itself in winter, not just rests; similar examples include the Christmas Market in Sa Feixina — ice rink and reindeer slide.
So if you still don't know where to go on the days off: the Christmas park in Port Adriano is open, brings light into the darkness and offers an uncomplicated, family-friendly change of pace. A beach walk beforehand, dinner afterwards — and that's a small winter outing with a sea breeze. For official schedules and visitor information check the Port Adriano official website.
