Calvia

Puerto Portals

Located 9KM from Palma de Mallorca and around 16KM from the airport, Puerto Portals is a luxury port hosting some of the most beautiful yachts to be found in the Mediterranean. Inaugurated in 1986, Puerto Portals has a total of 670 moorings ranging from 8 to 80 meters in length.

Palma Nova Beach

Palma Nova beach actually comprises of 3 individual beaches. They are:

• Palma Nova I
• Palma Nova II
• Son Maties

Each beach has a promenade area lined with numerous bars and restaurants which are popular for walks and rollerblading during the day and early evening.

Palma Nova Attractions

One of Palma Nova's best known attractions is 'Golf Fantasia', offering 3 courses of 18 hole crazy golf, located on Calle Tenis. The course is around 500 meters back from the beach and takes on a tropical theme including waterfalls, lakes, caves and wildlife. Food and drink is available at the invariably named '19th Hole' snack bar.

Palma Nova

Palma Nova is situated approximately 14KM from Palma de Majorca and sits adjacent to the hugely popular Magaluf. The two resorts are almost indistinguishable from one another, although Palma Nova is known to have a younger family orientated atmosphere through the day in peak season. However, don't expect a peacefully quite holiday here. Palma Nova is famous for round the clock party antics invariably fuelled by cheap alcohol from the many bars and clubs in the resort.

Magaluf Water Parks

Magaluf sports two water parks, Aqualand and the newer Western Park. They are situated next to each other, about 1KM from the south end of Magaluf beach. Whilst it can prove quite expensive for a family, both parks offer a great day out and will keep the whole family entertained for the entire day. You'll be in and out of the water all day, so make sure you keep your sun protection lotion topped up!

Magaluf

Located in the municipality of Calvia, Magaluf is one of Majorca's big resorts, if not the biggest. The resort of Palma Nova is right next door and it's difficult to tell where one stops and the other starts.Tourists are mainly from the UK with small pockets of other European's to be found, mainly Irish, German and Swedish.

Cala Vinyes - Majorca

Cala Vinyes is one of Majorca's smaller resorts catering more towards families and the older generation. Located in the municipality of Calvia and only a few kilometres from Majorca's busy resorts of Magaluf and Palma Nova, Cala Vinyes offers an ideal retreat for those seeking a quieter holiday, whilst being within taxi distance of its two larger neighbours in the event that you may want a big night out.

Cala Falco Beach Majorca

Hidden away just a few kilometres from Majorca's popular resort of Magaluf is Cala Falco (Falcon Cove). This small cove hosts a sand beach surrounded by trees and steep cliffs on either side, which are great for jumping into the sea from, but make sure you check the depth of the water first!
