Port d'Andratx

Port d'Andratx is a marina in Mallorca's far south-west, set between wooded hills with villa estates. The town stands for upscale dining and life on the water – there is no sandy beach.

Luxury Couples Peace and quiet Nature

There is no sandy beach here – people swim from bathing platforms.

The deeply cut natural bay was originally a fishing harbour and is now one of the most expensive residential areas on the island. Around the harbour basin you will find restaurants, boat jetties and small shops; people swim from rock platforms or in the coves nearby. Because of the hillside locations, the town is only partly suitable for a holiday without a car.
