Mallorca Southwest

October 20th, 2008

Southwest of Mallorca from Palma to Puerto Andratx

Ranking top in all of Spain for quality of life and among the top four European cities, it is no wonder that Palma de Mallorca is such a popular place to set up home. A thriving local community with a strong Mallorcan identity lives alongside an ever-growing international population.
The city offers many different kinds of area and property. The prestigious Old Town (Casc Antic) and Santa Catalina have arguably the most charming districts and architecture on offer. Organised walking tours offer the opportunity to pass by a selection of the renowned little palaces with their elegant interior patios, so beloved of photographers.
The area along the seafront, the Paseo Marítimo, is the natural home for the jet-set, with its luxury apartments; fast pace of life and proximity to the marina and Port.

It may generally be said that the most developed areas, or the most mature developments, are in the Southwest, extending beyond Palma into the Palmanova and Portals Nous areas. These tend to be the most strongly English-speaking areas and offer a range if International English Schools, as well as a French and German school. Flanking the Bay of Palma to the West are the equally well-developed areas of Arenal, and cheap and cheerful Magalluf perhaps the best-known of the resort areas.
Some of the most spectacular properties are between these areas and the City of Palma, with Portixol and the fishing village Molinar offering an especially charming prospect Bendinat, with its stunning golf course and properties.
Santa Ponsa offers a multitude of golf properties; semi-detached houses or apartments in well-kept communities directly off the golf courses. The new developments in the quiet urbanisations between Nova Santa Ponsa and El Toro offer detached houses, beautiful communities and luxury villas, most built in the hills with splendid sea views with south orientation. The demand for plots in these urbanisations has clearly risen during the last two years and the existing plots between properties are vanishing quickly. If you would like to build your dream home here, best not to wait. In Sol de Mallorca the picture is very much the same, with demand for plots and properties rising quickly. Generally speaking, the urbanisations in this area have developed into exclusive village locations with an excellent quality/price ratio.
Nova Santa Ponsa, with its internationally recognised 18–hole course, has tended to be the area of choice for golf lovers and the fashionable, where traditional farmhouses stand alongside avant-guard, exclusive villas and palaces. Within ten minutes of this course there are three more available at Poniente, upmarket Bendinat and Camp de Mar (Andratx).
Port Adriano yachting harbour and marina is situated in the El Toro area close to Santa Ponça. The new extension of the facilities, by 85 moorings, has brought with it a new sailing school and improvements to the adjacent beach, transforming the zone into a glittering showcase of elegance.

Eastwards of the rocky Andratx shore, the coastline becomes softer, with fine sandy beaches and tourist enclaves, such as Paguera, Costa de la Calma and Santa Ponsa.

Andratx The township of Andratx is in the westernmost part of the island, at the end of the Serra de Tramuntana mountain range. It is a coastal area with small coves (calas), abrupt cliffs and four small islands, of which the largest is Dragonera. The interior of the region is comprised of valleys and is bounded to the north-west by the township of Estellencs and to the east by Calvia, while the rest of the region is bounded by the sea. Historic and symbolic town, it offers different and monumental sites to visit. Quite place of living and residency, it has also remains of traditional folkloric gastronomy and festivities

Mallorca Moorings Available

ANDRATX
THE Balearic Port Authority has installed nearly 1′000 new moorings in the ports and marinas it manages over the past few months.
Yesterday, the Balearic Minister for the Environment, Miguel Angel Grimalt, visited the Port of Andratx where a series of new pontoons and moorings have recently been installed.

Grimalt explained that the primary aim of the new berths is to reduce the number of cases of illegal moorings which has caused substantial damage to marine fauna and fauna in a number parts of the region over recent years.

He added that while the government opposes the construction of new marinas and major expansion projects, “a sustainable and controlled increase in the number of moorings is going to be carried out in order to meet the annual rise in demand and help the nautical industry continue to grow.”
