Port Adriano
Port Adriano is a modern luxury marina in southwest Mallorca, designed by Philippe Starck, offering high end berths, exclusive restaurants, and a stylish setting for yacht charters and unforgettable days at sea.
Port Adriano in Calvià is a state‑of‑the‑art superyacht marina on Mallorca’s southwest coast, designed by Philippe Starck and widely regarded as one of the most modern, best‑equipped luxury ports in the Mediterranean. With almost 500 moorings for boats from around 6 up to 80–100 metres and a large technical area plus designer retail and restaurant zone, it combines high‑end nautical infrastructure with a lifestyle destination feel.
​
Location and setting
Port Adriano is located in El Toro, in the municipality of CalviĂ , about 20 km from Palma and a short drive from popular resorts like Santa Ponsa and Magaluf. The port lies on the south coast near the mouth of Palma Bay, surrounded by scenic areas such as Cala Fornells, Toro Island and the mountainous north coast, giving excellent access to varied cruising grounds.
​The marina is built into a sheltered bay with an outer breakwater and a wide entrance channel, offering good protection from swell while maintaining easy access for large yachts. Its low‑slung, minimalist architecture blends the quays and commercial complex into the landscape, creating an elegant, understated visual impact rather than a flashy skyline.
​
Berths and technical facilities
Port Adriano has around 489–500 moorings in total, with approximately 82–87 large berths specifically dedicated to superyachts between 20 and 60/80 metres. Overall mooring sizes range from about 6 metres for smaller boats up to 80 metres (and some sources mention capacity up to 100 metres) for the largest yachts.
​The technical area covers more than 10,000 m² and includes a 250‑ton travel lift capable of hauling large yachts for maintenance and refit work, making the port attractive not only for summer berthing but also for winter storage and shipyard projects. Port amenities for moorings typically include high‑capacity electricity, fresh water, Wi‑Fi, cable TV, fuel dock, underground parking and secure gated access, with some berths sold or leased together with private parking spaces and storage units.
​
Design and services
French designer Philippe Starck created the shopping area, communal spaces and distinctive details of Port Adriano, including bollards, lamps and the materials used on the quays. The design aims to “blur the frontier between harbour and boat”, using sober, nautical‑inspired materials and a horizontal layout that invites visitors to stroll along the piers.
​The port is managed with superyacht needs in mind: 24‑hour seamanship and security services, waiting dock for large vessels, pilotage support and concierge‑style services for owners and crew. Berths and leases are marketed internationally as high‑value investments, especially those on the outer wall with direct parking and storage access.
​
Restaurants, shopping and lifestyle
Port Adriano’s commercial area hosts a curated mix of fashion boutiques, marine service providers, watersports shops and art galleries, including concept stores and Sandra Lehnis’ gallery for contemporary art. Visitors find small stores of prestigious international brands as well as outlets for high‑quality accessories and nautical equipment.
​The dining scene is notably strong for the marina’s size, with almost a dozen high‑quality restaurants and bars along the waterfront. Examples include:
- ​La Terraza with a more casual downstairs section and a sophisticated Mediterranean restaurant upstairs.
- ​Vino del Mar, offering refined Italian cuisine with on‑board service available on request.
- ​Coast by East – Seafood, Bar & Grill, serving sushi, freshly caught fish and Asian‑inspired dishes in a prime location on the outer pier, with a pool area attached to the associated hotel.
- ​MarisquerĂa El Faro and La Cantina, known for Mediterranean seafood and harbour views.
​This creates a glamorous yet relaxed ambiance, especially in the evenings when terraces fill with yacht owners, crews and visitors from surrounding resorts.
​
Events, activities and surroundings
Port Adriano positions itself as a multi‑functional space hosting a variety of events throughout the year—classic‑car and motorcycle shows during Mallorca Classic Week, live music, concerts and other cultural events that add a special flair to the marina. These events strengthen its identity as a leisure destination and attract both locals and tourists beyond the yachting community.
​The surrounding coastline offers numerous anchorages and day‑trip destinations, including the coves of the southwest coast, Toro Island’s marine reserve and further routes along the north coast. Watersports such as diving, paddleboarding, jet skiing and sailing are available through several operators based in and around the port.
​
Who Port Adriano is ideal for
Port Adriano is particularly suitable for:
- Superyacht and large‑yacht owners (20–80+ metres) looking for a modern, purpose‑built luxury marina with high‑capacity technical infrastructure and designer surroundings.
- ​Owners and guests who value upscale restaurants, shopping and events directly in the marina, combined with privacy, security and high service standards.
- ​Yachts using Mallorca as a base to explore the western Mediterranean, thanks to its position close to Palma yet in a quieter residential area with excellent road links.
​With its Philippe Starck design, superyacht‑scale moorings and strong lifestyle offering, Port Adriano has become one of the Mediterranean’s flagship luxury leisure marinas and a key reference point on Mallorca’s southwest coast.
