Platja del Portitxolet, Mediterranean beach in Portixol district, Palma, Spain
Platja del Portitxolet is a roughly 90-meter-long stretch of coast with pebbles, gravel, and sand, lined with colorful single-story houses that face the water. The waterfront maintains the residential character typical of older fishing villages along the island.
The area developed as a fishing settlement, with buildings later renovated while retaining the original architectural style of coastal Mallorcan villages.
The local fish restaurants nearby reflect the area's connection to the sea and serve daily catches prepared using traditional recipes passed down through generations.
The water is shallow and gentle, suitable for swimming, while a long promenade runs along the coast toward central Palma. Bus stops are located near the beach, making it easy to arrive by public transport.
Natural conditions prevent boats from anchoring here, particularly during southeast and southwest winds, keeping the waters free from maritime traffic throughout the year.
