Located on the westernmost tip of Mallorca, Andratx (Puerto Andratx) is a charming town set slightly back from the coast, surrounded by lush groves of almond, orange and olives.

However, the majority of holiday properties in Andratx are down by the new marina or Port of Andratx, where small, colourful fishing boats intermingle with large, luxury yachts.
