Portocolom
Portocolom
A quiet old fishing town on Mallorca's east coast, set around one of the island's largest natural harbours and a photogenic lighthouse.
Portocolom is a low-key town on the east coast of Mallorca, built around one of the largest natural harbours on the island. It is the coastal part of the Felanitx area, about a 15-minute drive from the inland town of Felanitx, and still works as a fishing port. With colourful boathouses, a small beach and a slow pace, it has stayed quieter than many resorts.
What [Destination] is known for
Portocolom is best known for its large natural harbour, lined with traditional fishermen's houses and boathouses painted in soft colours, with llaüt fishing boats still moored alongside leisure yachts. At the harbour mouth stands the Portocolom lighthouse, built in the 1860s on the Sa Punta cliff, one of the most photographed on the island. The old town behind the quay is small and easy to wander. The main beach, Cala Marçal, sits just south of the centre, and a string of quiet coves lies within a short drive along the coast.

Things to do in [Destination]
The main pleasure here is slow: walk around the harbour, watch the fishing boats and follow the lane out to the lighthouse for sunset views from the Mirador de Sa Punta. Spend time on the sand at Cala Marçal or the smaller S'Arenal beach by the village, both calm and shallow. From the harbour you can take a boat trip to hidden coves and sea caves along this stretch of coast.

Travel tips for visiting [Destination]
Cala Marçal is the main family beach and sits a little outside the centre, with parking that fills up early in summer. The walk out to the lighthouse is lovely at sunset. Portocolom is a quiet, low-key place, so come here for calm rather than nightlife. The wineries around Felanitx, a short drive inland, are worth a visit for tastings. Spring and autumn are the nicest times, when the harbour is at its quietest.
