Porto Petro holidays deliver the kind of quiet that would please a bookworm. Plus, there's a national park next door.
Keep shtum about Porto Petro
Porto Petro on the Balearic island of Majorca is the sort of place you’ll want to keep a secret. It’s library-quiet and girl-next-door-pretty, with a couple of sandy coves where you can roll out your towel. The village’s main ingredients are tree-lined lanes, boats bobbing in the harbour, and low-key bars that entertain an in-the-know crowd.
Majorca’s secret beach
The best must-see beach in the area is Cala Mondrago, a pint-sized number in the Mondrago National Park. It’s a five-minute drive from Porto Petro. This beach’s good looks have earned it a protected status – expect rolling sand dunes, towering pine forests, rocky coves and window-clear water.
