A Brief History of Port Andratx
Originally a small fishing village, Port Andratx has evolved over the years into a glamorous destination for yachts and high-end tourism. Yet despite its transformation, the port has managed to retain its traditional charm. The nearby town of Andratx, which dates back to Roman times, has long been an agricultural hub, but the port area only started to develop significantly in the late 19th century.
Fishermen used Port Andratx as a base to cast their nets, catching fresh fish that would supply the island’s markets. Even today, you’ll find traditional llaut boats docked at the marina, a nod to the port’s rich seafaring past. While luxury yachts now outnumber the fishing boats, you can still enjoy the sight of these historical vessels gently bobbing on the water.
Over the last few decades, the harbor has become a playground for the rich and famous, known for its luxurious villas and vibrant social scene. The beauty of Port Andratx lies in its ability to balance this exclusivity with a laid-back, authentic charm, making it the perfect spot for anyone seeking a mix of Mallorcan culture and modern indulgence.
