Yachting in Mallorca, Spain

Despite sitting in the shadows of her more well-known sister, the island of Ibiza, Mallorca is the capital of yachting in the Balearic Islands, with stunning blue Mediterranean waters, golden sun-kissed beaches and beautiful coves. Mallorca is one of the most beautiful islands in Spain. Yachting in Mallorca allows one to discover its 262 beaches and hidden coves or to explore the protected seas of the Cabrera Archipelago Maritime Park where you will find whales and dolphins. On land, taste the Pintxos, whilst enjoying an authentic Spanish sangria. Mallorca is best explored by sea, with a coastline filled with hidden coves, private beaches and protected archipelagos reachable only by yacht. Mallorca’s capital, Palma, sits within the island’s biggest bay and is known for its rich history, modern art and tapas restaurants. Palma is a bright medieval town with a rich history and a plethora of luxury hotels, restaurants, cafes, bars, and shops. All of Mallorca’s cities possess a strong cultural history, from their Roman remains to Mallorca’s piratical period. Sailing along Mallorca’s coastline, you will arrive at the city of Andratx, once a popular pirate den. Drop anchor, and spend the day exploring Puerto Andratx, a stunning natural harbour ringed by an amphitheatre of beaches and cliffs. Similar to the piratical history of Andratx, the uninhabited island of Sa Dragonera, just off the coast of Mallorca, was kept known as a smuggler’s lair and to this day remains a pristine marine and island reserve. Enjoy a relaxing day on the water exploring the deserted beaches and coves whilst lounging in the water and taking in breath-taking views. Another island just off Mallorca’s coast, is the island Cabrera. Known in the Balearics as Palma’s best boating spot, the Cabrera Archipelago Maritime Park, was closed off to the public until 1988 as a military base. Its 19 islands are accessible only to those who arrive on their own boat. As you drop anchor for the day, catch a glimpse of the whales and dolphins as they roam the protected waters. Close to Cabrera, but back on the island of Mallorca, lies Mallorca’s famous Caló des Moro. This secluded cove is considered one of Europe’s most beautiful beaches. It is surrounded by rocky cliffs and glistering crystalline turquoise blue waters. Its waters are exceptionally warm and calm making it perfect for a peaceful afternoon in the water. Mallorca also has a glamorous side. Mallorca’s harbour, Puerto Portals or Port Adriano boasts super yachts and was designed by the world-renowned designer Philippe Starck. Dress to impress whilst you enjoy your sangria at one of the area’s trendy bars.
