Property GuidePuerto Andratx

The large horseshoe-shaped bay at Puerto de Andratx has been described as being one of the most beautiful harbour locations the Mediterranean has to offer. The sunsets here are famous, and a huge attraction for visitors and residents alike. What better place could you ask for to watch the technicolour evening sky whilst sipping a gin and tonic!

Surprising as it may seem, Puerto de Andratx is still very much a working fishing port, which only adds to the town's old-world charm.

A wonderful choice of restaurants

The old town of Puerto de Andratx is a lovely place to relax over a menu del dia or evening meal with family and friends. Many of the cafes, bars and restaurants are situated along the pretty waterfront and surrounding streets and are extremely popular in the tourist season. Being such an upmarket town, standards of dining are high and Puerto de Andratx is justifiably renowned for its seafood.

Restaurant Rocamar (971 671 261) situated at the west end of Puerto de Andratx harbour is a beautiful spot facing the Mediterranean and away from the crowds. Seafood is the speciality here. Or try Marisqueria Galicia (971 672 705), a pleasant bistro specialising in Galician cuisine, especially seafood. Excellent value too.

Great for golf

If you like a good game of golf you're in luck, because Andratx has its very own golf course. Just a short drive from Puerto de Andratx is the 18-hole championship course at Andratx Golf Club (971 236 280)

This golf course is one of the most challenging in Mallorca with 60 bunkers and 7 lakes to test your skills. (Hole 6 is the longest in the whole of Spain!) The setting is spectacular too, with splendid views of the rolling hills and the sea nearby. Buggies are included in the green fees and there is an excellent Italian restaurant in the clubhouse.
