Summer at La Pérgola: pool days, relaxation and plans by the sea
When summer arrives in Mallorca, time seems to stand still. The golden light bathing the Mediterranean, the scent of salt in the air and the gentle sound of water invite you to leave the hectic pace of everyday life behind and surrender to true rest. At La Pérgola, summer is not just a season — it is a way of life.
A seaside retreat with everything you need
Port d'Andratx is, without doubt, one of Mallorca's most privileged corners. Just 700 metres from the harbour, with the seafront promenade within easy walking distance and beaches such as Camp de Mar and Sant Elm only minutes away, La Pérgola is the perfect base for a holiday that balances tranquillity and activity in equal measure.
In summer, the heart of the aparthotel beats around the pool. A space designed for pure enjoyment: a sun lounger, the warm sun, crystal-clear water and, should you fancy it, a cold drink in hand. Here mornings stretch out without guilt, conversations flow without rush, and children discover that the day's best plan needs neither screens nor itineraries — just water, laughter and time.
Agenda-free mornings, character-filled afternoons
One of the great advantages of staying at La Pérgola is the freedom its aparthotel format offers. Each unit comes with a fully equipped kitchen, allowing you to enjoy a leisurely breakfast on the terrace before the heat of the day sets in, without depending on timetables or queues. It is precisely this kind of freedom that turns an ordinary holiday into a proper one.
In the afternoons, as the sun begins to ease, Port d'Andratx comes alive. The terraces along the seafront promenade open their best hours: fresh fish, rice dishes from the sea and that Mediterranean cuisine which tastes especially wonderful in summer. A stroll among boutiques, ice cream parlours and the gentle comings and goings of sailing boats rounds off an afternoon that needs nothing more.
Activities near the sea for every taste
The surroundings of Port d'Andratx are a natural gift for those who travel with a desire to explore. The hidden coves along Mallorca's south-western coast, such as Cala en Basset and Cala Llamp, are gems accessible within minutes and ideal for those seeking calm waters away from mass tourism. For more active guests, the Serra de Tramuntana — a UNESCO World Heritage Site — offers hiking and cycling routes with breathtaking views.
Those who prefer to take to the sea will find kayak, paddleboard and small boat hire nearby, perfect for exploring the coastline at their own pace. And for something different, the nearby village of Sant Elm is the departure point for excursions to Dragonera Island, a protected nature reserve whose unspoilt landscape is hard to forget.
The Mediterranean summer you always imagined
Some summers are remembered for years. Those in which time moved slowly, in which meals stretched on without anyone glancing at the clock, in which the pool was the centre of the universe and the sea, the constant horizon. At La Pérgola, that summer is within reach.
Whether you are travelling as a family, as a couple or with a group of friends, La Pérgola offers the space, comfort and location to make every holiday day count. Because summer in Port d'Andratx is not simply lived — it is savoured.
