About Playa de Portals Nous (Playa d’Oratori)
Between the sophisticated Puerto Portals and the small residential community of Bendinat in the southwest of Mallorca, is the Blue-Flag beach called Playa d’Oratori. Only about a 15-minute drive from Palma, this beach is popular with a younger crowd interested in the nearby nightlife and great food scene in Puerto Portals, as well as families who appreciate all of the nearby amenities.
Here you’ll find many British, Spanish and German visitors, as well as locals. Also, many come onshore for the day from their yacht moored at the marina. The beach has fine white sand, crystal clear blue water, though take note of frequent jellyfish sitings. Onsite facilities including showers and toilets, and a host of water sports including paddle boats and kayaks for hire. You can also rent sunbeds and umbrellas for the day. There are a few beach bars right onsite that are known for good food such as salads, sandwiches, or grilled fish and cocktails. Playa d’Oratori balances an urban feel, with the surrounding apartment buildings, hotels, village of Portals Nous, and marina, with a real beach escape as you gaze out to the sea out along the coast of Mallorca on this large, clean beach.
