On a beautiful long, natural bay, Port d'Andratx is the kind of place to come if you like to dress up on your holidays. Popular with the yachting crowd, this is one of Mallorca's classiest resorts - its surrounding hillsides dotted with villas owned, or rented, by film stars. So, as you can imagine, the best places to stay in Port d'Antratx are not the cheapest to be found on the island. However, they are very impressive, mostly converted from grand villas (or even a castle).

The small village has a charming promenade, lined with fine restaurants and bars, and these are some of the best spots on the whole island from which to watch the sunset.

Port d'Andratx started life as a fishing village, and there's still a strong fishing industry here, with around 500 boats, which help create the local colour with your sunset view.

For island activites there are some wonderful hikes along the Serra de Tramuntana mountain range (a short drive inland). While the Andratx Golf Club's course, which was in fact designed by the famous Gleneagles hotel, is a spectacular spot to play a round. There are a couple of lovely beaches nearby, known for their clear waters, but if you're looking for sand it's a short drive to Camp de Mar or Sant Elm.

The best places to stay in Port d'Andratx are nearly impossible to reserve during July and August, so if you really want to visit then, you'll have to book well in advance.
