Port Adriano

Port Adriano is unashamedly devoted to luxury. This up-scale super-yacht port was remodeled by renowned French architect Philippe Starck in 2012, to create one of the most modern marinas in the Mediterranean. Starck’s flair and attention to detail has created a nautical inspired shopping and commercial centre which blends perfectly with its surroundings. Little touches such as bollards and special lighting create an overall effect that just oozes charm and sophistication. It is the perfect place to enjoy the best that money can buy, or sneak a peek at a lifestyle that includes super-yachts, gastronomy and designer shopping.

The port offers 492 moorings between six and 100 metres and over 52 commercial spaces that supply a wide range of high-end fashion shops, international and local restaurants, and well-renowned boat support services. There are also 240 free underground parking spaces.

This gives clients and visitors the opportunity to find the best offering for yachting holidays or an awesome gastronomic experience with a choice of Asian, Spanish, Italian finest cuisine. You can also find the most typical tapas and the best paellas in town.

History & Culture of Port Adriano
Port Adriano is in south west Mallorca that has been ‘up and coming’ for over a decade. Situated in the town of El Toro (or the Bull), this area has been dramatically upgraded over the years with development of adjacent Nova Santa Ponsa, with its superb golf offering and nearby Sol de Mallorca which originally had a purpose-built casino (now closed). The redevelopment of Port Adriano was hotly anticipated due to a shortage of larger berths, not just in Mallorca, but the Mediterranean as a whole. The influx of boat owners and the requirement for services to support their needs has created an entirely new community.

The extensive luxury real estate developed in Nova Santa Ponsa to support the area was originally snapped up by investors, many of whom had an eye on the 90 million euro investment in Port Adriano. This meant that the area was very quiet for several years as many of the homes were not occupied by the owners. With the completion of the port many changes have occurred: properties in Nova Santa Ponsa have been re-sold by investors and El Toro has seen revived interest from property buyers looking to snap up bargains.

When Port Adriano first re-opened in 2012 it was very new with many vacant units and only a few people around. If you have not been to the Port since then it is well worth re-visiting. The new design now feels more lived-in and is packed full of busy shops, businesses, bars and restaurants.

The culture of Port Adriano is all about luxury lifestyle.
