Around Portocolom
The beautiful coastal town is one of the largest protected bays and has retained the charm of an original fishing village. Even today, many locals still live from fishing.
Not overly characterised by tourism, there are smaller hotels and apartment complexes here that blend harmoniously into the surroundings. This is another reason why many residents of neighbouring villages decide to buy a property in Portocolom as a summer residence or second home.
Felanitx, the main town of the municipality, and the original town of Santanyí are around 20 minutes away by car and offer various shopping opportunities. At the weekly markets in both towns, you can find everything from Mallorcan crafts to regional products and food to art. Further south are the popular towns of Cala d'Or and Portopetro. To the north are the towns of Porto Cristo and Cala Millor. With a property in Portocolom, there are many opportunities to organise and enjoy your time on the sunny island.
Discover the village
The original heart of Portocolom can be found opposite the harbour. The church "Mare de Déu del Carme" with its square forms the centre of the old town. Surrounded by old pastel-coloured houses, some of which have been stylishly renovated, the alleyways invite you to take a leisurely stroll. If you can do without a sea view when dining, you will also find some very good restaurants here.
The waterfront is lined with cafés and restaurants. Everything from traditional to international cuisine can be found here. If you don't want to prepare fresh fish specialities yourself, Portocolom is the place for you. The coastal town and its surroundings are a paradise for gourmets.
If you want nature and the sea
In addition to the main beach (Cala Marcal), there are a few small beaches nearby. If you want to go diving and snorkelling, there are countless cave systems on the southeast coast.
Bikers and hikers have the perfect starting point to explore the natural and historical sights around Portocolom: The "Far de Portocolom" lighthouse, unspoilt bays, caves, castles, monasteries, almond groves or the vineyards of the "Pla y Llevant" region.
Not far from the trendy holiday resort of Cala d'Or, the 18-hole "Vall d'Or Golf" course is open all year round. Pine, olive and almond trees surround the hilly fairways of the first nine holes. More expansive towards the coast, the second nine holes (the original part of the course) offer the finest sea views. Thanks to the light Mediterranean breeze, golfers won't break a sweat even in summer. The "mAxime" clubhouse, which is open to the public, is located on the top of a hill. With its marvellous view over Cala d'Or and Portocolom, it is also a popular destination for non-golfers.
