Living here

Costa d’en Blanes is a quiet villa estate in Calvià, on the hillside above Portals Nous and Puerto Portals, about 20 minutes' drive west of Palma’s old town. Below the motorway, a narrow strip of coast has a small beach and the Marineland marine park. Its draw is privacy and a sea view, with the city, the airport and the international schools all within easy reach.

Costa d’en Blanes lies on the lower slopes of the Serra de na Burguesa, between Portals Nous to the east and Son Caliu to the west, and just under 2,000 people are registered here. Most of the estate is on the hillside above the Ma-1 motorway, where the main avenue, Avinguda de Tomàs Blanes Tolosa, climbs to Plaça de Dolors Nouvilas. Below the motorway, a narrow coastal strip runs along the old Andratx road towards Puerto Portals. The land was once part of the Bendinat estate, later broken up into separate developments, and the place is named after the Blanes family, who owned the land. Several streets carry family names.

The coastal strip is the busier side. Platja de sa Costa d’en Blanes is a small beach of coarse, tan-coloured sand with sunbeds and showers, right beside the entrance to Marineland, a marine park with dolphins, sea lions and an aquarium. A tennis club, a beach restaurant, hotels and apartment buildings share this stretch, and Puerto Portals marina, with its restaurants and boutiques, is under a kilometre east. Platja de l’Oratori, a larger sandy beach beside the marina, is a little further on, and the Passeig Calvià, a walking route linking the municipality’s towns, passes close by.

There is no village centre or weekly market, and most errands start with the car. The coastal strip has a pharmacy and a few small shops, with more in Portals Nous and Palmanova, where the nearest public health centre is. TIB buses to Palma and along the coast, including the A11 to the airport, stop on the old Andratx road below. Line 106 buses from Palma also stop at the motorway junction on the main avenue, and six line 108 buses a day call at Plaça de Dolors Nouvilas on a circular route from Palma. Calvià council holds a neighbourhood office there on Tuesdays, at the residents' association.

Who buys here

Most buyers want space and quiet without being far from Palma. Commuters to the city, families with children at the international schools close by, and second-home owners who like having the airport and Puerto Portals near at hand all fit in well. Life is private and residential, with no village square, so newcomers tend to build a social circle through school, sport and neighbours.

Property

The hillside above the Ma-1 is mostly detached villas with gardens, many looking out over the sea and the Puerto Portals marina. The roads up to the higher streets are steep and winding. Closer to the sea, along the old Andratx road, there are apartment complexes and hotels. Styles range from Mediterranean-style villas to modern designs.

Pros and cons

For

  • Close to the city: Palma 20 minutes, the airport 25 to 30
  • Hillside villas, many looking out over the sea and the marina
  • Puerto Portals and two international schools a few minutes away
  • Its own small beach, with Platja de l’Oratori close by

Against

  • No village centre, so most errands mean a drive or a steep walk
  • The walk back up from the coast road is long and steep
  • The Ma-1 separates the hillside from the beach and coast road
  • Most bus stops are on the coast road at the foot of the hill

Questions buyers ask

Is Costa d’en Blanes part of Portals Nous?

No. Official statistics list it as a place in its own right within Calvià, with just under 2,000 registered residents. It shares the 07181 postcode with Portals Nous, though, and the bus stops on the coast road below are called Portals Nous. Some people who say they live “in Puerto Portals” actually live on this hillside.

Is there a beach in Costa d’en Blanes?

Platja de sa Costa d’en Blanes, a strip of coarse sand beside the Marineland entrance just off the old Andratx road, has sunbeds and showers. For something larger, Platja de l’Oratori, a sandy beach beside Puerto Portals, is a short way east.

Can I manage without a car?

Not easily. The streets are steep, there is no village centre, and most buses stop on the coast road below, from where TIB lines run to Palma and along the coast and the A11 goes to the airport. Only six line 108 buses a day call at Plaça de Dolors Nouvilas.

Which schools are near Costa d’en Blanes?

Agora Portals International School (International Baccalaureate) is on the old Andratx road at the foot of the hill, and King Richard III College (English National Curriculum) is about a kilometre further east in Portals Nous. The nearest state primary schools are CEIP Son Caliu to the west and CEIP Bendinat to the east, on the same street as the state secondary, IES Bendinat. Each is about 5 minutes' drive away.

Is Costa d’en Blanes quiet?

The hillside streets are quiet and residential. The coastal strip below the motorway is busier, because Marineland, right beside the beach, is one of Calvià’s main visitor attractions.
