The Setting

Portals Vells. An uncommon place.

The stone used to build Palma's legendary cathedral was quarried from this land.

Set within a quiet, protected stretch of coastline, Portals Vells carries a rare sense of history and presence. Just a two-minute walk from Playa del Mago and the coves of Portals Vells, you are surrounded by pine forests, hidden calas, crystalline turquoise water, and protected biking and walking trails.

The area is as close to untouched as the Mediterranean gets — beautiful, unhurried, and entirely its own.

Crystalline turquoise water · Two minutes from the door

Portals Vells sits between Palma and Andratx — both reachable in 20–25 minutes — yet feels entirely removed from either. The protected biosphere and maritime reserve mean the water here is among the clearest in the Mediterranean, and the forest trails above it offer complete solitude.

Whether you swim, bike, walk, or simply sit with the view, the landscape here does most of the work.

The Natural Surroundings

Pine, stone, and sea.

Ancient forest trails, hidden calas, morning light on the water. Barely changed in centuries. Right outside the door.

The Life Around It

Sun, sea, and summer.

Beach clubs, boat days, long lunches, the best of Mallorca — within reach, whenever the mood takes you.

The Residence

Your private home here.

Recently renovated, the residence is filled with natural light throughout the day, shifting beautifully across three private balconies. Every detail has been chosen to create a calm, supportive environment.

Eco-conscious local furnishings, organic linens, natural towels, and an oversized bathroom with a deep soaking tub and mineral-rich bath salts — the kind of space that asks nothing of you except to rest.

Living & Dining

Where the day settles.

Open plan, west light, and a gong on the wall for sound sessions. The sea shows itself through the window in the late afternoon, and the terrace doors stay open most of the year.

The Kitchen

Sage green and oak.

Marble counters, a live-edge oak bar, copper tap, and a door straight onto the balcony. Tell us what you would like in it before you arrive and it will be there waiting.

The Experience

Shaped around you.

Some guests come to fully reset. Others come to explore, bike, swim, reconnect, or simply enjoy a few beautiful days together. Whatever brings you here, the experience adapts to your pace and intention.

🌊

Ocean & nature

Wild swimming, coastal hiking, biking through the protected pine forest reserve, and long mornings in the calas. The sea here is extraordinary.

🧘

Rest & restoration

Private yoga, meditation, sound healing and breathwork arranged in advance. Or simply the soaking tub, the balcony, and the sound of the forest.

🍽️

Food & nutrition

Private chef experiences, organic market runs, Mallorcan cooking, and nutritional support designed around your goals — all arranged before you arrive.

🚴

Movement & exploration

Road cycling on quiet coastal routes, sea cave exploration, boat trips to hidden anchorages, and guided walks through ancient forest paths.

💆

Treatments & touch

Massage therapy, body treatments and energy work arranged with trusted local practitioners. Delivered at the residence, in your time.

🌅

Simply being here

Morning light on the balcony, coffee, the sea visible through the pines. A pace of life the body recognises as correct before it can explain why.

The Wellness Suite

Feel it. From the inside out.

The suite is yours throughout your stay — no appointments, no schedule. Lie down, let the technology do the work, and get up feeling different. For guests who want to go deeper, Jessica Charles — the founder behind NuShape and Cellf — offers a personalised session designed around your specific goals. Skin, sleep, energy, shape, pain. She built these tools, and she will design your protocol and your personalised smoothie menu around exactly where you are right now.

01 / 03 · Skin & radiance

Glow from within.

Red and near-infrared light penetrates the skin and wakes up the cells beneath it. Collagen production increases. Inflammation calms. The skin looks clearer, plumper and more rested — often after just a few sessions.

  • Collagen support and skin renewal
  • Reduces puffiness and redness
  • Improves tone, clarity and radiance
02 / 03 · Recovery & relief

Rest that actually works.

The full-body light mat and PEMF technology work together while you lie still — easing muscle tension, calming joint discomfort, and restoring the kind of deep rest a holiday promises but rarely delivers.

  • Relieves muscle soreness and joint pain
  • Reduces inflammation and swelling
  • Deeper, more restorative sleep

03 / 03 · Shape & vitality

Lighter, leaner, energised.

The targeted wrap stimulates circulation, supports lymphatic drainage, and helps the body release what it is holding onto. Combined with the sauna and mineral bath, guests notice a visible difference in how they look and feel.

  • Targeted contouring and circulation
  • Improved lymphatic flow
  • Boosts energy and metabolic function
Who Comes

Every guest arrives differently.

01

The Reset

You need to stop. Properly. Long enough for the nervous system to actually release — not just temporarily quiet. You come for stillness, slow mornings, salt water, and the luxury of doing very little, very well.

02

The Romantic Escape

A beautiful, private space with no distractions and no agenda. Hidden calas, candlelit evenings, a soaking tub, the sound of the sea. The kind of setting that does the work before you even try.

03

The Explorer

You want to swim, bike, discover hidden calas, eat well, move every day, and come home tired in the best way. Active, beautiful, and entirely off the tourist track.

04

The Protocol

You come with specific goals — recovery, performance, measurable outcomes. You want a structured plan, device access and nutritional support. We build this for you before you arrive.

Before You Arrive

Your experience begins before you land.

Each guest's stay is shaped with a dedicated wellness concierge before arrival — helping design meals, activities and optional treatments in advance. This keeps everything seamless once you arrive, while ensuring your stay reflects your own pace and intention.

No itinerary to follow, no schedule to keep. The space is set. What you do with it is yours.

01

A welcome call

A relaxed conversation before you arrive — so we can say hello, hear what you're looking forward to, and shape everything around you from the start.

Longer Stays

A writers residency in Mallorca.

Out of season, Casa Aurora opens for longer stays — a month or more for writers, founders and anyone with work that needs quiet and a door that closes. Fast wifi, a desk by the window, a washing machine, and the forest trail starting at the end of the road.

Portals Vells in winter is almost entirely empty. The light is low and long, the calas belong to whoever walks down to them, and the pace is the kind that gets work finished. Mornings for writing, afternoons for the sea, the wellness suite whenever the body asks for it.

Tell us how long you are thinking of staying and we will shape the rest around it.
