Porto Colom
Portocolom is a picturesque harbour town on the east coast of Mallorca, in the municipality of Felanitx. It is often praised as one of the most beautiful and authentic fishing villages on the island.
Historic Harbor
Portocolom is known for its natural harbour, which is one of the largest natural harbours in Mallorca. Traditionally used by fishermen, it is still a working fishing harbour today. You can see colourful fishing boats (llaüts) bobbing alongside modern yachts, adding to the charm.
Authentic Atmosphere
Unlike some other places in Mallorca, Portocolom has retained its authentic and peaceful character. The village has narrow streets, traditional Mallorcan houses with pastel-coloured facades, and a relaxed atmosphere.
Places of interest
• Faro de Portocolom: An iconic lighthouse with black and white stripes, located on the edge of the harbour. It offers beautiful views of the Mediterranean Sea.
• Església de Sant Jaume: A small, charming church in the village centre.
• Platja de Cala Marçal: This is a beautiful sandy bay, ideal for relaxing.
Golf
Portocolom has an excellent golfing opportunity nearby: Vall d'Or Golf, a course just a few minutes drive from the village.
If you want a scenic drive you can consider the coastal roads, but the quickest route is via the Ma-19 and then the Ma-15.
Vall d'Or Golf
Features:
• 18-hole, par 71, with beautiful views of the Mediterranean Sea and the surrounding landscape.
