Summary
Es Portitxol is a small former fishing harbour on the eastern seafront of Palma, just beyond the Cathedral and Can Pere Antoni beach and before Es Molinar. The harbour, run by the Club Nàutic Portixol, is lined with low fishermen's houses that now house restaurants, and the seafront promenade connects it to the city centre on foot or by bicycle.
It differs from most of the municipality in being a low-rise, village-scale waterfront area rather than a suburb of apartment blocks, with a very small area and consequently very few properties. MallorcaData records 0 active listings in Es Portitxol as of 2026-09-21, so no asking-price figures can be stated for the neighbourhood at that date.

Buying in Es Portitxol
- Palma has not issued new ETV (holiday-rental) licences for apartments in multi-family buildings since 2018, and a Balearic-wide moratorium on new holiday-rental places has applied since February 2022, with a further decree in April 2025 banning new holiday flats in multi-family buildings across the archipelago.
- Single-family houses in Palma may still qualify for a tourist rental licence subject to PIAT zoning and availability of tourist-place quota; this is not automatic and must be checked property by property.
- Seafront properties fall within the coastal public domain protection strip of the Spanish Coastal Law (Ley de Costas), which restricts works close to the shoreline; the exact line for any plot is set by the Demarcación de Costas.
- An existing ETV licence attaches to the property but does not transfer automatically on sale; the new owner must notify the Consell Insular de Mallorca to hold it legally.
Selling in Es Portitxol
- Buyers are mainly second-home owners and residents from other European countries wanting a small renovated house near the sea and within cycling distance of the old town.
- Renovated houses with a roof terrace or harbour view are the main segment; unrenovated houses appear rarely because the area is small and largely done.
- Evening restaurant noise on the harbour front is a differentiator between front-line and back-street properties.
Es Portitxol: common questions
Not at the moment. MallorcaData records 0 active listings in Es Portitxol as of 2026-09-21. Because there are no listings, no median asking price or price-per-square-metre figure can be given for the neighbourhood as of 2026-09-21; the wider Palma municipality has a median asking price of EUR 950,000 as of 2026-09-21.
Possibly, but not automatically. Single-family houses in Palma can still be considered for an ETV licence, subject to PIAT zoning and whether tourist-place quota is available at the time of application. Apartments in multi-family buildings cannot obtain new licences. The position for any individual property has to be checked with the Consell Insular de Mallorca.
Yes. The seafront promenade runs uninterrupted from the harbour past Can Pere Antoni beach to the Cathedral and Parc de la Mar, a distance of roughly 2 km depending on the start point, and is flat for its whole length. It is the main way residents reach the old town without a car.
Both, depending on the time of day. The harbour front has a row of restaurants that are busy in the evenings and at weekends most of the year, and the promenade carries walkers and cyclists throughout the day. The back streets behind the harbour are residential and quieter.
The exact distance from Es Portitxol is not known. Palma Son Sant Joan airport is around 8 km from the city centre, typically 15 minutes by taxi or 20-30 minutes on the A1 airport bus from the centre. Es Portitxol is on the airport side of the city, so journey times are usually shorter than from the western districts.
