About Porto Colom
Porto Colom is one of the most authentic fishing ports on the east coast of Mallorca and has largely preserved its original character. The large natural harbor bay with colorful Llaüts fishing boats, the historic lighthouse, and the pastel-colored boathouses along the shore give the place a special atmosphere. To the south of the harbor are the two sandy beaches Cala Marçal and Cala S'Arenal, which invite you to swim with fine sand and clear water. Porto Colom is considered the birthplace of Christopher Columbus according to Mallorcan legend and offers the perfect mix of authentic island life, good fish restaurants, and a relaxed beach holiday.
