Portals Nous Holidays

Portals Nous is a high-spec destination. Just a 15-minute taxi ride west from the capital, Palma, this resort revolves around a band of satin-soft white sand that’s edged by tapas bars and cocktail hangouts. Orbiting the resort are a series of tennis clubs and Bendinat Golf Course, which is classed as one of Spain's finest.

A few footsteps from the town centre, you’ll find Puerto Portals Marina. Super yachts dock here and Ferraris park at the kerbs. Its red carpet credentials don’t come with an A-list price tag, though. Cocktails in the rooftop bars that surround the marina are only a fraction pricier than those in Portals Nous itself. And it’s more than possible to get a meal here without breaking the bank.

Portals Nous has a guest book that’s signed with celebrity signatures, including Ronaldo and Peter Stringfellow. But this resort also pledges its allegiance to families. The beaches spread like bunting along the coast and they’re all bucket and spade-style places with beachside playgrounds and restaurants that offer children’s menus.
