About The south-west coast: the back story
West of Palma the coast runs past Costa d’en Blanes and Puerto Portals to Port Adriano and on to Port d’Andratx, with Sa Dragonera off Sant Elm at the island’s tip.
The marinas
Puerto Portals and Port Adriano, designed by Philippe Starck, are the yachting addresses; The St. Regis Mardavall (Es Fum) and Mandarin Oriental Punta Negra are close by.
The tip
From Sant Elm a boat crosses to Sa Dragonera natural park, usually March to October.
Mallorca’s yachting coast.
Our advice: lunch on the quay at Port d’Andratx, then sunset at Sant Elm.
