Attractions and Amenities

Being primarily a residential town, Bendinat has only a couple of basic supermarkets that should meet the everyday holiday essentials, along with a small number of souvenir shops. But beyond these, visitors will need to travel out of the town for a greater selection of shops to spend their Euro on.

Most unusual for Majorca, Bendinat along with the other resorts along the south coast of the island do have a very good regular bus service, which makes getting around quite easy.

Also worth considering when a number of people can travel together, is one of the numerous taxis that operate about the town. Generally, fares are very reasonable, however, experience shows that it is better to agree the fare in advance, especially when going out of the resort, and always try to have the correct money, plus the obligatory tip ready.

If you've visited Majorca before, you may recognise Portals Nous as being the home of Marineland. This is one of the most popular family attractions on the island, and is often included in the major tour operators organised day trips. As a result, it can become very busy during the peak season. Once inside the park you will find performing dolphins, sealions, and parrot shows throughout the day. As far as we are aware these are the only captive dolphins on the island, and frequently we are asked "can we swim with them?". Again as far as we are aware, the answer is sadly no. During the show a number of small children are picked at random to be pulled around their pool in a small inflatable dinghy, but outside of the show times the public are not allowed access to these beautiful creatures. Opening hours are:
April to September: from 9am to 7pm
October to March: from 10am to 6pm
Closed for holidays from 19th of December till 1st of February.

If you do venture into Palma Nova, the Golf Fantasia mini golf course there is without doubt one of the best mini golf courses in Majorca. There is a choice of three very different 18 hole courses that are set amid waterfalls, caves and tropical gardens, although you will be allocated a specific course on buying the ticket in an attempt to minimise waiting time during play. This attraction also becomes very popular during high season with most of the major tour operators running trips here from all over the island. They are open every day throughout the year from 10am to 2am the following morning. Contact details for more information is:
