Portals Nous · Mallorca · since the family arrived

Through the arch, the whole holiday.

A small family hostal. A garden you have dinner in. The cove, two minutes down the lane.

First arch · the threshold

You arrive, and the noise drops a level.

Villa Ampurdán is a small hostal run by one family, set back from the marina behind a honey-coloured stone arch and a green shuttered door. It is not a resort and was never trying to be. It is a handful of rooms, a garden full of old palms, and people who have been doing this long enough to know exactly when to leave you alone.

Everything here is on the other side of that arch: the long tables under the trees, the smell of dinner starting, and the lane that drops down to the cove. You are two minutes from the water and a world away from the traffic on the hill.

The arch itself — marès stone, a green shutter, and whatever the vine is doing this year.
Second arch · the rooms

Plain, cool, and quiet enough to sleep.

No two rooms are quite the same — it's an old house. What they share: thick walls that stay cool in August, a window onto the garden or the lane, and nothing you'll lie awake listening to.

  1. Garden-side double

    A double that opens toward the palms and the tables. Mornings are birds and coffee; evenings are the dinner downstairs, far enough away.

    • Double bed
    • Garden window
    • Private bathroom

  2. Lane-side twin

    Two beds and the quiet lane that runs down to the sea. Good for friends, or anyone who wants to be out the door and on the sand before the beach fills.

    • Two single beds
    • Closest to the cove
    • Private bathroom

  3. The family room

    The bigger room, for three or four. Space to leave the buckets and snorkels by the door and not trip over them at midnight.

    • Sleeps 3–4
    • Extra room to spread out
    • Private bathroom

Rooms go by email and word of mouth — tell the family your dates and how many of you, and they'll tell you what's free. Email for dates

Guests at lantern-lit tables in the garden under palms and an old tree after dark
Third arch · the table

Dinner happens under the trees.

When the heat goes out of the day the garden fills up — lanterns in the branches, candles on the tables, plates coming out of the kitchen. It's the kind of evening you don't plan and then talk about for a year. Pull up a chair; you're already here.

  • Long tables under old palms
  • Lantern light, not floodlight
  • Breakfast out here too, before it's hot
Fourth arch · the cove
The turquoise cove at Portals Nous, pine-topped cliffs and a golden beach

Portals Nous is a short, downhill walk.

Out of the arch, down the lane, and the water is right there — a small turquoise cove between pine cliffs, with a beach bar for when you can't be bothered to climb back up for lunch. Portals Nous is the gentle end of this coast: the big marina and its restaurants are a stroll one way, the quiet rocks are the other.

  • To the cove ~2 min on foot, downhill
  • To Puerto Portals A walk along the front
  • To Palma About 20 minutes by car
  • Airport Roughly half an hour
