The Donna Portals
Portals Nous | Balearics
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
An oceanfront bolthole with designer flair, The Donna Portals pairs a postcard-worthy beachfront setting with sculptural interiors, a serene spa and a glamorous pool deck scattered with Balinese beds. With art on the walls, Champagne on ice and Puerto Portals’ glossy marina just along the coast, this is one of Majorca’s most stylish addresses for a grown-up beach escape.
Think whitewashed curves, turquoise sea and statement art at every turn. The Donna Portals sits right by the beach, with sweeping views across the bay from its tiered terraces, infinity-style pool and light-filled suites. Days slip easily between spa circuits, cocktails on the rooftop Wellness Bar, and unhurried breakfasts on the Astir terrace as yachts glide into Puerto Portals in the distance.
For couples and style-conscious friends seeking the Balearics’ chic side, The Donna Portals delivers the perfect balance of beach, design and boutique service. It’s around 45 minutes from Palma de Mallorca Airport. See more Balearics holidays.

Restaurants and Bars
Mornings at The Donna Portals start with long, lazy breakfasts at Astir Restaurant, an à la carte spot with international flavours and a sun-kissed terrace that looks out over the sea. The restaurant continues into lunch and dinner with refined plates that suit the hotel’s boutique, grown-up mood.
You’re spoiled for choice when it comes to drinks and social spaces too. Sip bubbles at the Champagne Bar on the terrace, linger over a crafted cocktail at Selini Bar in the lobby, or head to the pool bar at the beach club for something chilled between swims. Up on the roof, the Wellness Bar keeps things light and fresh with daytime drinks from a panoramic terrace.
A smart dress code may apply in the evenings (no beachwear; long trousers requested for gentlemen in Astir and selected bars). Reservations may be required for some services and facilities, and supplements can vary depending on your board basis.
Pool Areas and Beach
Days drift by around the hotel’s outdoor freshwater pool, where plush sunbeds, Balinese beds and parasols are oriented towards the Mediterranean. With the sea just in front of you and attentive service from the beach-club-style pool bar, this is an easy place to lose track of time. Complimentary pool towels are provided.
The hotel is set right on the beachfront, so you can step between the deck and the sand in moments. The calm, sheltered bay is ideal for unhurried swims, paddle dips and scenic coastal strolls towards the marina.
Spa, Sports and Other Facilities
Wellness is a big part of the experience at The Donna Portals. The elegant spa (open roughly March–November) features a sauna, steam room and Turkish bath, along with a menu of massages and beauty treatments to ease you fully into holiday mode (local charges apply).
For something more active, there’s an air-conditioned gym with cardio equipment and free weights, plus options for yoga classes and tennis (both at a supplement). Evenings have an easy-going, grown-up feel, with a programme of live music and entertainment on selected nights from spring through to late October.
Behind the scenes, services include a helpful reception and concierge team, currency exchange, English newspapers and luggage storage, so the practicalities are taken care of while you focus on the sea views.
