Modern hillside house above Puerto Portals with panoramic sea views

INTERIOR
Set high above Puerto Portals, this renewed hillside home unfolds towards wide, uninterrupted sea views, visible from both terraces. Fully refurbished in 2023 with new electrical and plumbing systems, it now carries a calm, contemporary character shaped by light, proportion, and the surrounding landscape.

The upper level centres on an open living space with floor-to-ceiling retractable glazing that blurs the boundary between indoors and out. Its southwest orientation brings long, warm light into the home, softening the grey porcelain tiles and creating a gentle rhythm throughout the day. The kitchen by Studio Paris is deliberately minimal, pairing a rose-toned countertop with matte white cabinetry and AEG appliances. Living and dining areas transition seamlessly onto a 16-square-metre terrace overlooking the bay.

The lower level is devoted to the private rooms. Three bedrooms are arranged around a central hallway, complemented by two bathrooms and a separate guest WC. One bedroom opens directly onto the lower terrace with steps down to the 145-square-metre garden, which descends the hillside in quiet, sheltered layers. The remaining rooms, including a generous main bedroom with en-suite, share the same bright, airy feel.

Comfort is ensured year-round with air conditioning and central heating by radiators. Parking is straightforward, with three private spaces including a secure garage and two outdoor spots.

EXTERIOR
Set within the hills of Costa d’en Blanes, the house presents a crisp white silhouette that settles naturally into its Mediterranean surroundings. From the street, it appears discreet and understated, with pale surfaces, a simple garage front, and a gentle walkway leading downward. Even at this point, the view opens over rooftops and pines towards the sea.

Originally built in 1974 and thoughtfully reimagined, the house blends its architectural roots with a clean, modern sensibility. Warm white facades, soft shadows, and small, planted wall openings bridge the line between building and landscape. Stone and smooth-concrete stairways follow the slope of the terrain, drawing light across their surfaces.

The terraced garden follows the natural gradient of the hillside, creating quiet plateaus between dry-stone walls and Mediterranean vegetation. Lemon trees, oleander, and cactus add measured touches of greenery, while the steps link the upper terrace with more sheltered spaces below. Beyond the treetops, the sea appears as a calm, steady horizon, giving the outdoor areas a sense of openness and ease.

Panoramic sea views, sun-drenched terraces, and a private, multi-level garden frame a quietly luxurious home set above the Costa d’en Blanes coastline.

LOCATION
Costa d’en Blanes is one of the most desirable residential enclaves on Mallorca’s southwest coast. Sitting above the shimmering marina of Puerto Portals, it pairs sweeping sea views with a level of tranquillity seldom found so close to the island’s most vibrant hubs. The harbour’s cafés, boutiques, and yachts are only a short walk away, while pine-covered hills and easy hiking paths begin just behind the neighbourhood.

Connectivity is excellent. Palma is a twelve-minute drive, and the airport around fifteen. International schools, Real Golf de Bendinat, and the beaches of Portals Nous and Illetes are all within close reach. The nearby Na Burguesa mountain range offers panoramic walking and cycling routes overlooking the Bay of Palma.

Good dining is part of daily life, with Luma Café, Flanigan, and Yara all close by. In Costa d’en Blanes, a quiet, sought-after neighbourhood meets the energy of one of Mallorca’s most animated marinas, creating a balance between ease, comfort, and coastal living.
