Portals Vells: caves and virgin coves

Updated May 2026 Read 4 min Puerto Portals · Mallorca

Portals Vells is one of the most beautiful bays of south-west Mallorca: three sheltered virgin coves among cliffs and pine forests, turquoise waters and some historic caves. A must-stop on our jet ski route.

The three coves of Portals Vells

The bay holds three virgin coves with calm, crystal-clear waters, ideal for swimming. Sheltered from the wind and surrounded by pine forests, they offer exceptional underwater visibility.

The caves of Portals Vells

The area is home to the Portals Vells caves, former quarries from which stone was extracted for Palma Cathedral. Seen from the sea, they're one of the most photogenic spots in the south-west.
