Portals Nous, Bendinat and Costa d'en Blanes: A Guide to the 20 Most Popular Residential Communities

Portals Nous residential communities sit at the heart of one of the most desirable and consistently sought-after property markets in southwest Mallorca. Spread across the municipality of Calvia approximately 10 kilometres west of Palma, the three connected zones of Portals Nous, Bendinat and Costa d'en Blanes offer a range of residential environments that is wider and more varied than most buyers initially expect. At the top end, clifftop villas in Costa d'en Blanes and Old Bendinat deliver panoramic sea views and absolute privacy. In the marina zone, apartment communities with direct or near-direct views over Puerto Portals attract buyers who want a lock-up-and-leave lifestyle at one of the island's most vibrant addresses. Between these poles sits a well-established range of apartment complexes, townhouse communities and individual villas that collectively make this one of the most complete residential areas on the island.

What ties all these communities together is proximity — to Puerto Portals marina, to two outstanding international schools, to three beaches and to Palma city centre within 15 minutes by car. Below is a detailed guide to the 20 communities most consistently sought after by buyers in this area.

Marina Zone Communities — Puerto Portals

1. Silverpoint (Puerto Portals)

Silverpoint is the most directly marina-connected apartment community in Portals Nous, positioned immediately above Puerto Portals with the harbour promenade and all the marina's restaurants, boutiques and beach clubs accessible on foot. The complex comprises multi-storey residential buildings with south-facing apartments, most carrying partial or full sea views over the marina and the Mediterranean beyond. Upper-floor apartments have terraces with exceptional panoramic views stretching as far as Portals Vells. The community has a large communal pool with sun terraces and underground parking with lift access. Properties here typically offer two to three bedrooms and are among the most in-demand on the island when available — Silverpoint is consistently among the first names cited by buyers looking for a marina-front address in this area.

2. Las Terrazas (Puerto Portals)

Las Terrazas is a front-line marina community in Puerto Portals, with apartments positioned to deliver direct views across the harbour and the bay. The complex offers spacious layouts with large terraces that make the most of the marina position, communal pool and gardens, and direct access to the marina promenade. Properties here are highly sought after and represent one of the premier apartment addresses in the immediate Portals Nous area. The combination of frontline position, views, communal facilities and immediate access to all the marina's amenities makes Las Terrazas one of the most complete propositions in the marina zone.

3. Apartamentos de Mar (Puerto Portals)

Apartamentos de Mar is a prestigious first-line sea residential complex in Puerto Portals, with apartments positioned directly overlooking the Mediterranean and the marina. The development offers a well-maintained communal setting with pool and gardens, and its frontline sea position — with direct views across the water — gives it a premium standing within the marina zone. Properties here are available in a range of configurations and represent strong long-term value given the irreplaceable position.

4. Club Marina (Puerto Portals)

Club Marina is one of the most sought-after residential complexes in Puerto Portals, offering apartments with spectacular views, a wonderful communal pool and direct access to the marina. The community is accessed directly from the marina area and its position gives residents immediate access to all the port's amenities. Properties are fully serviced by lift on all floors and the community benefits from secure management and well-maintained communal areas. Club Marina is consistently popular with buyers seeking a marina-adjacent address with quality communal facilities.

5. Portals Hills (Portals Nous)

Portals Hills is a boutique residential community set on the slopes above Puerto Portals, with views over the bay of Palma and the marina below. The development is also home to the Portals Hills Boutique Hotel, which operates La Cabana Pool Bar and Lounge — one of the most photographed infinity pool settings in southwest Mallorca. Residential properties within the Portals Hills area include Mediterranean-style villas and townhouses with private gardens and pools, set in a quiet and private environment that is nonetheless within minutes of the marina and the village. The combination of a calm residential setting and immediate proximity to the marina's offer makes Portals Hills a consistently attractive address.

Portals Village Communities

6. Anchorage Club (Bendinat / Portals Nous border)

Anchorage Club is one of the most established gated communities in the area, sitting on the Bendinat and Portals Nous border with well-managed grounds, security and a strong community of permanent and seasonal residents. The complex offers apartments and townhouses in a mature setting with communal gardens and pool. Its secure, established character and convenient position — close to the beach at Bendinat and within easy reach of Puerto Portals — make it a consistent first choice for buyers seeking a managed community with a strong existing resident network.

7. Anchorage Hills (Bendinat)

Anchorage Hills is a premium villa enclave within the broader Anchorage development, offering individual architectural villas on generous plots with panoramic sea views across the bay of Palma. Properties here are substantial — typically four or more bedrooms, private pools, multiple terraces and high-specification interiors. The elevated position above the coast delivers some of the most dramatic views in the area, and the private, gated character of the development gives residents a level of security and privacy that is difficult to find closer to the marina. Anchorage Hills is regarded as one of the most prestigious addresses in Portals9 Nous.

8. Ses Oliveres (Bendinat)

Ses Oliveres is an exclusive ground-floor apartment community at Bendinat, known for its beautifully maintained gardens, high-quality finishes and quiet residential character. Ground-floor apartments here typically feature private gardens and terraces, and the community has a well-kept pool and communal areas. Its position in Bendinat places residents close to the beach at Cala Bendinat and within easy reach of Puerto Portals. The quality of the build and the maturity of the garden planting give Ses Oliveres a distinctive, premium feel within the Bendinat residential market.

9. Sa Vinya (Bendinat)

Sa Vinya is a well-regarded community of luxury low-rise apartments and elegant terraced houses in Bendinat, popular for its sunny, sympathetic Mediterranean design and ample green space. The complex is within easy walking distance of the Bendinat town centre and its restaurants and amenities. Properties in Sa Vinya are consistently in demand given the combination of quality communal areas, the established residential character and the convenience of the Bendinat location — close to Puerto Portals, the beach and the Golf Real de Bendinat course.

10. Bendinat Golf (Bendinat)

The Bendinat Golf residential area encompasses the villas and apartment communities that have developed around the Golf Real de Bendinat course, set in a pine valley with views across the course, the sea, the medieval castle and the Tramuntana mountains. The Olinto complex is one of the most notable apartment developments within this zone, with well-positioned buildings enjoying commanding views and a high standard of communal facilities. Villa properties within the broader golf residential area offer individual plots with the course directly on the doorstep. This is one of the most naturally beautiful residential settings in the southwest.

Costa d'en Blanes Communities

11. Costa d'en Blanes Villa Zone (Costa d'en Blanes)

Costa d'en Blanes is the prestigious hillside neighbourhood directly above Puerto Portals, and its villa zone is the most exclusive residential area in the immediate Portals Nous catchment. Villas here sit on generous plots on elevated streets with panoramic views across the bay of Palma and the Mediterranean, and the immediate connection to the marina below — via a short descent on foot or by car — gives the zone a combination of privacy and access that is exceptionally rare. Properties range from traditional stone villas to contemporary new-build architecture, all sharing the defining characteristics of the area: sea views, privacy and the Puerto Portals lifestyle at the bottom of the hill.

12. Old Bendinat (Bendinat)

Old Bendinat is one of the most coveted addresses in southwest Mallorca, a quiet, secluded residential area of classic mansions and mature villas set close to the calm coves of the Bendinat coastline, some with direct sea access. The area has a private, unhurried character that has made it consistently attractive to buyers who value privacy and proximity to the sea above all else. Its peaceful atmosphere, well-maintained streets and proximity to Puerto Portals and the Golf Real de Bendinat course give Old Bendinat a quality of life that attracts a loyal and established resident community.

Portals Nous Village Communities

13. Portals Nous Village Townhouses

The village of Portals Nous itself has a collection of well-maintained townhouse communities set on its residential streets, within walking distance of the beach, the marina and Carretera d'Andratx. These communities typically comprise small numbers of individual townhouses — often 6 to 22 units — in private settings with communal gardens and parking. The combination of village centre convenience, walkable access to the beach and the marina, and a quieter residential character than the marina-front apartments makes the village townhouse communities particularly popular with families and year-round residents. Properties here are practical, well-maintained and benefit from the full Portals Nous amenity package within a short walk.

14. Portals Nous Central Apartment Communities

The central area of Portals Nous has a number of well-regarded apartment communities set within the village residential zone, a short walk from the beach and the marina. These complexes typically offer two and three-bedroom apartments with communal pools and gardens, underground parking and secure entry systems. Many upper-floor apartments carry sea views across the bay. The combination of central location, beach proximity and Puerto Portals accessibility makes these communities consistently popular with buyers seeking a quality residence in the heart of the village.

15. Cala Bendinat Communities (Bendinat)

The Cala Bendinat area on the eastern edge of the Portals Nous zone has a collection of residential communities positioned close to the small beach at Cala Bendinat and the coastal path. Apartments and townhouses here benefit from proximity to the beach and a quieter residential character than the marina zone. The setting, with pine trees, coastal views and a calm bay, gives these communities a natural appeal for buyers who want to be close to the water in a more intimate, less urban setting.

16. Son Caliu (Son Caliu)

Son Caliu is a well-established residential community situated between Portals Nous and Santa Ponsa, offering a quieter alternative to the marina zone while remaining within easy reach of both. The area has a mix of apartments and villas in a mature residential setting, with good connections to the amenities of both Portals Nous and Santa Ponsa. Son Caliu is particularly popular with buyers who want the southwest lifestyle and the wider Calvia municipality without the premium of the immediate marina zone.

17. Illetes Apartment Communities (Illetes)

Illetes is a small, exclusive coastal zone between Portals Nous and Palma, one of the most beautiful stretches of coastline in the southwest. The beach at Illetes is consistently ranked among the finest on the island — shallow, calm and clear, with a small-scale, unhurried atmosphere. Residential communities here are limited by the narrow coastal topography and include a mix of front-line sea apartments and hillside properties with views across the bay. Purobeach Illetas and the newer Nanai Beach club operate in the area. Properties in Illetes rarely become available and command prices that reflect both the quality of the beach and the scarcity of supply.

18. Portals Hills Villa Zone (Portals Nous)

The residential villa zone of Portals Hills, set on the slopes behind and above the marina, comprises a collection of individual properties ranging from traditional stone chalets to more contemporary Mediterranean-style houses. The elevated position delivers views over the bay and the marina, and the quiet residential streets give a degree of privacy and separation from the marina's activity while remaining within minutes of it. Properties here appeal to buyers who want a house rather than an apartment, with garden space and privacy, while maintaining the Portals Nous location.

19. Bendinat Coastal Zone (Bendinat)

The coastal zone of Bendinat immediately east of Portals Nous encompasses a series of residential properties, some of which enjoy direct sea access via private steps or pathways to the rocky Bendinat coastline. This is one of the rarest property types in the southwest: front-line sea with direct water access in a quiet, established residential area within 15 minutes of Palma. Properties in this zone are highly individual, rarely available and consistently attract serious international buyers.

20. Golf Real de Bendinat Villa Zone (Bendinat)

The villa residential zone that has grown directly alongside the Golf Real de Bendinat course encompasses a collection of individual properties set among the pines and fairways of this private 18-hole course. Villas here command positions above or beside the course with open views across the pine valley, the sea and, on clear days, the mountains. The combination of a private golf course as an immediate neighbour and the surrounding natural landscape gives this zone a character that is quite distinct from the marina-adjacent communities, appealing particularly to buyers for whom golf, nature and privacy are the primary considerations.

The Area in Summary

Portals Nous, Bendinat and Costa d'en Blanes collectively form one of the most complete luxury residential markets in the western Mediterranean. Puerto Portals marina, Golf Real de Bendinat, two international schools, multiple beaches, 15-minute access to Palma and a year-round community of established international residents combine to create a quality of life that is genuinely difficult to replicate elsewhere on the island. Property demand across all 20 communities listed above consistently outpaces supply, and the area's fundamentals — location, infrastructure, lifestyle and natural setting — have remained exceptionally stable over several decades.
