The southwest boasts the highest density of golf courses on Mallorca, with eight courses in total—including the “Royal” Bendinat course (of which former King Juan Carlos is the honorary president) and the island’s oldest course, Golf Son Vida. Of the three courses at Golf Santa Ponça, only one is open to the public; the others are reserved for members.
Golf Son Termes is arguably the course that blends most harmoniously into the landscape; surrounded by mountains and wooded slopes, it is free of intrusive buildings and features a sporty, alpine layout with narrow fairways. Players with limited stamina should pace themselves carefully or simply rent a buggy. Under new management, T Golf Calvia has emerged as a true gem among Mallorca’s golf courses; it is well worth a visit.
The residential areas of Bendinat, Illetas, and Portals Nous are located along the coast west of Palma. Illetas offers a lovely, small beach, followed by the exclusive Puerto Portals marina. Along the harbor promenade, visitors find a variety of trendy restaurants, shops, and cafés, where terraces offer views of numerous luxury yachts bobbing in the marina basin.
The “Golf Santa Ponsa” residential area—home to the three Santa Ponsa golf courses—is set amidst more than six kilometers of coastal scenery. Near the Nova Santa Ponsa development, in the town of El Toro, lies the redesigned Port Adriano marina, featuring a retail area designed by Philippe Starck.
Another highlight of the southwest is undoubtedly Port Andratx—a renowned natural harbor belonging to the municipality of Andratx—situated near the small offshore island of Dragonera. Mass tourism has fortunately bypassed this idyllic little fishing harbor, which ranks among the island’s most beautiful marinas. In the town and along the promenade, you will find a wide selection of good restaurants and cafés.
