Most visitors to the area don't as a rule tend to be on the traditional package holiday, and most of the major tour operators in the UK don't as yet include the town in their summer sun offerings. However, most of the visitors to tend to be independent travellers who do prefer to make their own travel and accommodation arrangements into the town.

As with a number of the other more traditional towns on Majorca, there is both an inland residential area called Andratx, and a coastal development called Puerto Andratx. Puerto Andratx was the site of the original fishing harbour, and it is here that most of the tourist development has taken place over the last few years.

Despite the recent residential development of the rugged headlands that are a feature of the coastline in the south west of Majorca, Puerto Andratx has still somehow managed to retain an authentic Majorcan feel. Although commercial fishing is still carried out here, albeit on a very small scale, without a doubt the major feature of the town is the large new marina with provision for over 300 moorings.

Something this resort does really lack is a beach, although if you are prepared to move out of the town, you will find an excellent beach 3 miles down the coast at the nearby resort of Camp de Mar. Property in Majorca

For most visitors to the resort the lack of a beach isn't really a great problem. Instead they prefer to use Puerto Andratx as a convenient base from which to explore some of the more remote areas of the west coast of the island and beyond.

As we mentioned above, the original residential town of Andratx was built slightly inland from the port to act as a defence against pirate attacks. Evidence of this can still be seen today around the upper part of the town with its narrow cobbled streets and the almost the fortress like church of Santa Maria. The view back over the old town to Puerto Andratx makes the uphill walk well worth while. During the 13th Century, Andratx was an important centre of the Majorcan culture with the Bishop of Barcelona and King Jaime I having homes here.
