Portals Nous is nestled on the south-west coast of Majorca, just 15 minutes from the city of Palma. The small but lovely beach offers up golden sands and some of the clearest waters you'll see this side of the Indian Ocean. Perched on the water's edge is a cool beach bar – its Ibiza party-meets-Miami chill-out atmosphere makes it the perfect place to while away the hours with a glass of white sangria.
The town's exclusive marina resort, Puerto Portals, is located in the next bay and often compared to the famed Puerto Banus in Marbella – but instead of the tourist crowds, you'll find locals and a handful of in-the-know A-listers. The marina is lined with super-yachts and boats, and on land, chic cocktail hangouts, rooftop restaurants and boutique shops are waiting – surprisingly, all without that A-list price tag.
Just a 15-minute drive from Portals Nous is the centre of Palma, where you can wander the maze of cobbled streets, and explore the Avinguda Jaume III's shops, dining options and architectural sites, such as the Gothic cathedral.
