Andratx is a municipality on Majorca, one of the Balearic Islands, in Spain. It is located on the southwest tip of the island.

The town of Andratx is ancient and until fairly recently inhabited by local Majorcan people. It has undergone a transformation over the last five years following the input of EU finance which has resulted in a facelift for the town and also brought foreign money.
