Art, Galleries and Collecting in Southwest Mallorca: Inspiration by the Sea
If you thought southwest Mallorca was only about beautiful beaches and local markets… think again. This part of the island is also a haven for artists, collectors and contemporary art lovers. And in the southwest, where the elegant Hotel Mon Port & Spa is located, creativity finds its own language: intimate, sophisticated and deeply Mediterranean.
If you're looking for a getaway that blends relaxation and culture, here’s an artistic route through some of the most inspiring spots in the area.
The Creative Soul of Andratx: Art Between Mountains and Sea
Just minutes from the hotel, the village of Andratx masterfully combines tradition and innovation, with cobbled streets and stone houses. It's also home to one of the most important centres for contemporary art in southern Europe: the CCA Andratx.
Founded in 2001 by Jacob and Patricia Asbaek, this venue spans over 4,000 m² and includes exhibition halls, artist-in-residence studios, and a natural setting that fosters reflection and creativity. Its rotating exhibitions and international programming have made CCA a key destination for those seeking cultural experiences of the highest level.
In Andratx’s old town, you’ll also find smaller galleries like Galerie Arte Casa or Galería Ahoy!, where you can discover everything from contemporary ceramics to abstract painting and local photography.
Creative Spaces and Galleries in Southwest Mallorca
The area surrounding Port d’Andratx, Calvià, Santa Ponça, and Peguera is filled with small workshops, private art spaces, and exhibitions open to the public throughout the year. Some notable mentions include:
Sa Taronja in Andratx
This multidisciplinary cultural centre, set in a restored country estate, hosts exhibitions, concerts, workshops and events. With its bohemian spirit and focus on local art, Sa Taronja is a hidden gem well worth discovering. You’ll find more details on their official website.
Private Galleries and Artist Studios
Many international artists reside in the southwest of Mallorca and open their studios to the public by appointment. From sculptors to digital creators, these private visits offer an intimate collecting experience—ideal for discerning travellers.
