Beaches
Cala Llamp
It is a beautiful sandless beach, with crystalline waters and ideal for diving. The stones, where the sand should be in a regular beach, offer visitors a steady way into the water. Unfortunately, this is not a safe area for children. However, there is a beach club that offers an alternative, as it has a swimming-pool and many other services at 5-star hotel prices.
Ses Bassetes beach
It is the largest beach in the harbour, with fine sand, calm waters and an excellent location since it is the heart of the harbour. Brismar Hotel is next to it.
Camp de Mar beach
Camp de Mar is a large beach near Port d'Andratx, and although there is great development here, hotels and apartments, it has managed to keep its original tranquillity. There is a small islet near the shore that you can walk across using a wooden footbridge. The restaurant on the islet takes most of the space though.
Where to eat
Although it may look like a small harbour to the naked eye, Port d'Andratx has a wide range of restaurants to choose from. Mallorcan, Italian, Indian, Asian, Spanish and German are among some of the different and tasty cuisines you will find here, but also scrumptious seafood specialties and lush paellas that will make your day. The price range is as diverse as the offer and you can also find affordable restaurants and good quality in their menus.
Where to lodge
Port d'Andratx blends luxury with traditional and uncomplicated, so here you can uncover everything from luxury hotels, villas with swimming-pools, 5-star hotels, hotels with spas, to aparthotels and apartments.
The 4-star Hotel Villa Italia is considered the best hotel in the harbour, as it offers magnificent panoramic views, particularly with the fall of a summer night.
