Portals Nous is for the rich and famous. In the harbor of Puerto Portals, you’ll find the most expensive yachts and motorboats. However, the main attraction in Puerto Portals and Portals Nous is you: people-watching is the number one holiday activity here.
There are plenty of flights to Mallorca and Ibiza, but you can also get there by car. You drive to Barcelona and take the ferry. I went to Mallorca with Balearia with my car AND my dog. Here’s what to expect.
I collapse on the narrow cabin bed of the Balearia boat from Barcelona to Mallorca. I can barely hold back the tears. Getting on the boat with my dog felt like entering a battlefield, and luckily no one was injured. But, for our return, I have a different tactic!

The sound of the waves. Sun rays kiss your skin. A soothing voice. A view on one of the most beautiful bays of Ibiza. This is how zen you can start your morning in Ibiza. At beach restaurant Amante, you can practice yoga on Ibiza.
Valldemossa is often praised as the ‘most beautiful village of Mallorca’. And damn, it is charming. The inhabitants decorate their already beautiful houses of golden-yellow natural stone with colorful plants. The steep, narrow streets invite you to get lost consciously, and there are a few lovely sights.
As the sand literally gets too hot under my feet on Ibiza, I’m up for something active on the water. Stand Up Paddling (SUP) sounds perfect to me: chilling on a SUP board and getting tanned while I’m at it.
