The
Marina Portals is a great favourite with golfers primarily
because of its enviable position. Not only is it centrally
situated for all the golf courses in the south west of the
island but the area known locally as "Portals”
is, apart from the capital, Palma, the liveliest resort
throughout the year.
The
hotel boasts all the facilities one would expect from a
4 star property, plus a few extras, such as satellite television
and “in room” internet access. The staff are
incredibly helpful and the restaurant serves up some tasty
Mediterranean cuisine.
The surrounding area boasts some great bars, restaurants
and nightclubs. Furthermore, should you fancy 10 minute
walk, you will find Mallorca’s foremost yacht marina
“Punta Portals” which is where the rich, famous
and infamous eat, drink and shop.

Whatever time of year, the Sol Antillas is, in our
view, the perfect “Magalluf” hostelry for golfers
young and old. This 4 star property enjoys many in house
facilities. The rooms are spacious and the buffet style
meals served in restaurant represent fantastic value.
Perhaps
its greatest asset is that, while officially situated in
the noisy resort of Magalluf, it is right on the western
outskirts, thus affording its guests a little tranquillity
should they require periods of peace and quiet. The quieter
end of Magalluf beach is just a walk through the hotel’s
pool area and down a few steps.
El
Poniente Golf Club is a mere two kilometres to the west
of the hotel, while the Santa Ponsa club is another four
kilometres along the same road. The Bendinat club is just
nine kilometres down the coastal road to Palma.
The Sol Antillas is hugely popular in the mid summer months
with tourists of many nationalities, making reservations
between June and September something of a lottery. So, we
confidently suggest staying here in the Months of December,
January and February when the hotel should be quieter, the
evenings a little chilly but the Golf, absolutely fantastic.
Hotel facilities
Indoor & outdoor swimming pools, Buffet Style restaurant,

The Uto Palace, a really international hotel, located in
the area of St Agustin, which is popular with many British
residents. Don’t be put off by the properties rather
austere exterior, as one look from your guestroom terrace
across the small bay and the “Med” beyond will
confirm that you have made a great choice.
As
is the case with all our hotel recommendations, you wont
find the “Uto” to be a package holiday property,
so while there is no adjacent beach, the hotels pool area
and bathing platform
offer direct entrance to the sea. Another benefit of staying
at this hotel is the secure underground car park which allows
you the choice of leaving your golf clubs in your hire car
overnight.
As previously mentioned, many different nationalities opt
for the “Uto.” Specially business travellers
who appear to require more from their hotels, and we can
confirm that this property delivers. The rooms are well
equipped with internet access and satellite TV, the restaurant
offers a high standard of quality and service and the indoor
and outdoor pools are just the job after a round of golf.
St Agustin is part residential part resort, so you should,
if you wish, find many British locals who will be happy
to help you with whatever you need to know.

The Nixe Palace is definitely a hotel for golfers
(and non golfers) who need a little pampering. The quality
of the guestrooms, public rooms and fitness areas are amongst
the finest on the island, and the hotel’s restaurant,
“A Popa,” is renowned for its superb fish and
seafood dishes. But should you wish to sample other eateries
in the area, you will find many good quality restaurants
serving everything from traditional Mallorcan cuisine to
fine Thai food.
Most of the guestrooms overlook the bay and beach of Cala
Mayor. They are well equipped with everything from internet
access to towelling dressing gowns. The entire hotel underwent
a complete refurbishment in 1999, bringing it to a standard
that attracts visitors such as the Real Madrid football
club who use the hotel when playing the island’s La
Liga side “RCD Mallorca”
While all the golf courses in the southwest are well within
reach, you will be ideally situated for visits to the clubs
of Bendinat, Muntaner, Son Vida and Son Termens.
Finally, while The Nixe Palace is more expensive than our
other recommendations, we are confident that our golfers
will find their stay an extremely memorable experience.

Hotel Mirador is our choice of
hotels in the heart of Mallorca’s capital, Palma.
Located on the vibrant Paseo Maritimo, your trip, no matter
what time of year, will be full of options. A brisk morning
walk along the edge of the Bay of Palma will set you up
for your golf. On returning from the golf club how about
a light lunch in one of the numerous street cafes. Then
switch on to Palma’s night life, where the bars, restaurants
and night clubs stay open until the early hours.
The 4 star Mirador is perfectly situated overlooking the
seriously expensive yachts and motor cruisers moored in
“Club de Mar”. No pool but with beaches either
side of the Capital, a swim in the Mediterranean is only
a stones throw. The roof top restaurant offers views of
the entire Paseo with the cathedral to your left and the
world’s cruise ships to your right. The rooms are
well equipped with all your daily needs and the main bar
on the ground floor is perfectly placed for a post golf
pint or a pre dinner gin and tonic.
The Paseo forms part of Palma’s ring road so finding
your golf courses wont require you to weave around the Citie’s
narrow streets. Indeed, staying at the Mirador makes the
two courses at Son Antem a little nearer, just aim for the
airport and keep going.
