Stargazing Boat Charter from Portals Nous – 4 Places for a Sparklingly Wonderful Night
There’s nothing quite like witnessing the grandeur of the universe from the deck of a private yacht. Far from the city’s glow and framed by the sea, the South Mallorca night sky comes alive with constellations, planets, and in August, the stunning Perseid meteor shower.
Our stargazing boat charter from Portals offers a truly unique experience—combining astronomical wonder with luxury, tranquillity, and the magic of the Mediterranean after dark. Whether you’re celebrating a romantic evening, indulging a love of the cosmos, or simply seeking a calm escape, this South Mallorca night sky boat charter is unlike anything else on offer.
Here are some of the finest destinations you can enjoy aboard your private yacht as night falls over the coast.
Malgrats Islands – A Quiet Start Beneath the Stars
Just a short cruise from Portals Nous, the Malgrats Islands are one of the best nearby locations for calm anchorage and minimal light pollution. By day, these rocky islets are known for their marine biodiversity and clear snorkelling waters. But after the sun dips beneath the horizon, the islands become a still and peaceful platform for stargazing.
The area is protected and typically quiet by night, offering a perfect starting point for your Portals Nous luxury boat charter. As darkness settles in, you can relax on deck with drinks in hand, your gaze turning upward as stars begin to shimmer overhead. For those joining during the height of the Perseids in mid-August, you’re in for an unforgettable show of shooting stars as they arc across the sky.
Here’s a brilliant view of a Maltreats sunset, which you can enjoy here or on another South Mallorca boat charter like our wedding proposal boat charter or photography charter. The choice is yours!
Cala Fornells – A Hidden Bay With a Unique Stillness
Tucked beside the busier resort of Peguera, Cala Fornells offers a surprisingly secluded and peaceful anchorage once the sun has set. Steep cliffs rise on either side, dotted with terracotta rooftops and pine trees, making this a beautiful natural amphitheatre for nightfall. The stars above seem somehow brighter here, their reflection dancing in the gently lapping water.
It’s a popular daytime spot for its quietness and beauty—but by night, Cala Fornells becomes something else entirely. Expect very little interference from nearby towns, making it one of the better places on the west coast to see constellations clearly. The setting is also beautifully framed for photography lovers hoping to capture the Milky Way above silhouetted cliffs.
Not a massive amount of entertainment happens around here, but if you’re wanting a chill, especially for your South Mallorca night sky boat charter, this is perfect. We also come here on our business boat charter or beaches boat charter. Also, to learn more about this particular destination you can click this link…
Cala Llamp – Shelter and Style Under the Night Sky
Cala Llamp offers something unique: a stylish and dramatic anchorage where luxury meets celestial beauty. This rocky bay, hemmed in by steep cliffs and dotted with elegant villas, is both protected and atmospheric by night. It’s a place often chosen for our daytime beach club trips, but at night, Cala Llamp transforms into something quieter and more intimate.
Because of its natural basin-like shape and relative distance from major resorts, the bay remains free from excessive light pollution. You can dine on board under the stars or sip cava as the yacht gently sways in the warm night air. It’s an ideal moment for those seeking a romantic experience beneath the stars—proposals and anniversaries alike have found their perfect setting here.
You could also grab a tender into Gran Folies for dinner under the stars, as the renowned restaurant only closes at 11pm!
This is a lovely place, no matter the time. As our most popular destination, we have it included on many other charter packages, like a stag party, Mallorca restaurant tour, beach club charter, and more!
Sant Elm and Dragonera – Moonlit Views and Mythical Backdrops in the West
Further west sits Sant Elm, a quiet coastal village that looks out toward the majestic, uninhabited Dragonera Island. While the village itself has charm and energy during the day, by night it becomes a soft and glowing backdrop to the still waters offshore. Anchoring off Sant Elm allows guests to see both the land and sea silhouetted in silver as the moon rises.
And just beyond lies Dragonera, a protected reserve whose jagged form rises from the sea like a sleeping dragon. This island is among the darkest accessible parts of the coast, making it an excellent location for spotting the Milky Way and even the occasional planet visible to the naked eye. On very dark nights, you may even hear seabirds calling from the cliffs as the stars stretch from horizon to horizon.
This part of your boat charter in South Mallorca provides both a sense of drama and peace—perfect for longer evenings spent in awe of the cosmos.
Imagine seeing the night sky from next to Dragonera, pictured here. Magnificent. If you would like to find out more about Sant Elm itself, you can click here, or you can visit here on different packages too, like our Mallorca film set location boat charter!
