Living here

Portopí (often written Porto Pi) and Sant Agustí (San Agustín) sit at the western end of Palma’s seafront, either side of Cala Major. Portopí is the city’s old natural harbour, where the Paseo Marítimo begins; Sant Agustí, the last barri before Calvià, climbs from the Calanova marina. The draw for buyers is a sea view with city shops and services close at hand.

Portopí is a long, sheltered cove at the western end of Palma’s harbour. Its name, the port of the pine, appears in a Latin account of the Pisan and Catalan expedition against Mallorca in 1114. Two old towers guard its mouth. The Torre de Paraires on the eastern side was declared a national monument in 1876, and the Torre de Senyals opposite carries the Porto Pi lighthouse, one of the oldest working lighthouses in the world. Nearby, the 17th-century Sant Carles fort has housed a military history museum since 1991.

The fort stands within the naval base, and its museum opens to visitors on Tuesday to Sunday mornings. From the late 19th century the shore was a bathing spot for well-off Palma families, who came out by tram. Hotels followed in the mid-1950s, and the busiest building years were the 1960s. Since 1995 a large shopping and leisure centre has stood on the site of an old quarry and factory. An oceanographic laboratory opened by the cove in 1906, the Balearic weather centre is also here, and just over 3,000 people lived in Portopí in 2018.

Avinguda de Joan Miró is the main street, and the Ma-1 motorway from the west meets the seafront here. Cruise ships use the maritime stations on the Dic de l’Oest, the long breakwater that runs out past the fort, and on cruise days many passengers stop in Portopí on their way into town. In 2018 residents of Joan Miró complained that café terraces spread across the pavement on those days. The Paseo Marítimo starts here and runs about 4 km round the harbour. Its renovation, officially opened in November 2025, took out traffic lanes and widened the pavements.

Sant Agustí, beyond Cala Major, is the last barri before Calvià’s Cas Català, with the Ma-1 along its upper edge. It grew in the early 20th century on two old estates and is named after its first oratory, built in 1914, dedicated to Saint Augustine at the request of a developer, Agustí Roca. With about 7,300 residents in 2018, more than twice Portopí’s number, it is densely built. Its Calanova marina, a Balearic government port run under concession, began in 1976 as a national sailing school and still runs courses; a small sandy beach sits beside it. The public health centre, CS Sant Agustí, is on Carrer de Nicolau Alemany.

Who buys here

Year-round residents who work in Palma, alongside international buyers who want a flat with a sea view close to the city. Boat owners have the Calanova marina on the doorstep. Families have a British primary school in Sant Agustí and other British schools a few minutes away in Cala Major and La Bonanova.

Property

Portopí is mostly apartment buildings, including tall blocks around the cove, many of them from the building peak of the 1960s and the decades that followed. In Sant Agustí, apartment complexes line the shore and the streets behind it, many with gardens and communal pools, and some refurbished older penthouses have sun terraces over the bay. Higher up, towards the motorway and Gènova, there are also detached houses with more privacy. In older blocks, check for a lift and a parking space.

Questions buyers ask

Are Portopí and Sant Agustí part of Palma?

Yes. Both are official barris of Palma in the western district, Ponent, with Cala Major between them. Sant Agustí is the last barri before the municipality of Calvià, which begins at Cas Català.

Where is the nearest beach?

The sandy beach at Cala Major, between the two barris and a few minutes by car from either. Sant Agustí also has a small sandy beach beside the Calanova marina. Cala Major fills up in summer.

Does the cruise port affect Portopí?

On busy days, yes. Cruise ships use the maritime stations on the Dic de l’Oest, the breakwater running out past the Sant Carles fort, and many passengers stop in Portopí on their way into town. In 2018 residents of Avinguda de Joan Miró complained that café terraces spread across the pavement on cruise days.

Is there a British school nearby?

Yes. Baleares International College has its nursery and primary campus in Sant Agustí; its other campus, at Sa Porrassa in Calvià, runs through secondary to sixth form. Bellver College in Cala Major and Queen’s College on Carrer de Saridakis, both British schools, are a few minutes away.

Can I buy a sea-view flat to let to holidaymakers?

Not as a new venture. Palma stopped holiday letting in apartment buildings in 2018, and in May 2026 a change to the general plan, now finally approved, extended the ban on new holiday-rental places to houses and villas. Only lets that were already legal can continue.
