Coastal work of art
The Donna Portals is a suave beachfront spot with style in spades – and it knows it. Flaunting its crisp whites and intricate mosaics like works of art, it’s a marriage of exuberance and elegance – and it sets the tone for a truly decadent stay.
It feels right at home in the upscale surroundings of Portals Nous – a place that’s all about the finer things in life. Sitting on a sheltered cove that’s as picture-perfect as it is petite, expect hearty helpings of sunshine, sea breezes, and showstopping views.
WHAT'S INCLUDED?
Hotel highlights
Good food, sea views, and a tranquil atmosphere – need we say more? The menu at the main restaurant is a love letter to Mediterranean cuisine, with a carefully cultivated mix of local delicacies and crowd-pleasing favourites.
Cosy cocktails is the vibe at the Eden Garden Lounge, the hotel’s very own secret garden. Bring your book, grab a drink, and settle in amongst the greenery for an afternoon spent firmly in the slow lane. And once you’ve recharged the batteries, hit the beach club, with its chic sunset lounge. Breakfast is less measly offering of muesli and more build-your-own bowl of goodness. Fresh fruit, creamy yoghurt and (practically) all the seeds under the sun are laid out each morning, while an à la carte menu means you can order what you like, too.
The spa takes centre stage here – and for good reason. Whether it’s an energising dip in the cold water contrast pool, a few quiet minutes in the sauna, or a soul-soothing treatment, a couple of hours spent floating around this spa might be our new favourite form of therapy.
A tour around the menu will be enough to convince you to dive in and treat yourself – will it be the Donna Signature Massage? Maybe a bit of reflexology? Or how about the Royal Retreat – an indulgent, luxurious treatment that starts with diamond exfoliation, followed with a soothing and hydrating massage that’ll leave you feeling like, well, royalty.
Portals Nous is a bit of a glamour magnet thanks to its yacht-studded harbour, pristine sandy beaches, and impressive dining scene. It’s got great golfing chops, too, with a smattering of professional-grade courses within 10 minutes’ drive.
And The Donna Portals has snagged a coveted spot. Not too in the thick of it to be kept up all night listening to raucous yacht parties, but close enough to stroll to the glitzy marina. And it’s right on a patch of shoreline that slopes gently into the inviting waters of the Mediterranean. What’s not to love?
This spot’s artistic chops. It’s part hotel, part immersive art gallery. Expect contemporary, urban installations that will surprise and delight.
The pool. And not just because it provides welcome respite from the Mediterranean sun. Smart white sun loungers, pretty floral mosaics, and a terrace that feels tailor-made for lazy days.
The concierge that’s on hand to help you plan your days. Finding you a nearby yoga class? Tennis lesson? Friendly game of padel? All in a day’s work.
