Illa de sa Porrassa
Island Islet off Mallorca in the Balearic Islands
Close to Mallorca’s southwest coast, this islet attracts day-trippers for boat trips, snorkeling and clear water around rocky shores near Magaluf and Palma Nova.
Illa de sa Porrassa is a small limestone islet off the southwest coast of Mallorca in the Balearic Islands, within the municipality of Calvià.
Shallow waters around the islet make it a local spot for snorkeling, swimming and short boat excursions; there are no visitor facilities on the islet itself.
The islet has no permanent habitation and functions as a natural coastal feature used for short recreational visits.
It lies close to the tourist resorts on Mallorca’s southwest coast, near Palmanova/Calvià and within the Bay of Palma area.
