Properties for Sale in Santanyí

Santanyí and its surrounding area are considered one of the most beautiful and peaceful parts of the island – and for good reason.

Located in the southeast of Mallorca, the town’s location alone is very attractive. Palma, the island’s capital, is about a 45-minute drive away, while many of the region’s stunning beaches and coves can be reached in under 20 minutes. The origin of Santanyí dates back to medieval times, and its charm still lives on today in its sandstone houses, old town gates and narrow, winding streets. Over time, the town has become increasingly international thanks to the influence of foreign newcomers – yet it has never lost its original character.

The surrounding landscape is nothing short of breathtaking, with rolling hills, wide-open fields, dry stone walls and dense pine forests. The rugged coastline is broken up by numerous idyllic coves, known as “calas.” If you love nature but don’t necessarily need dramatic mountain ranges, and instead prefer Mallorca’s softer, warmer side – Santanyí is the place for you.

 

What can you do in Santanyí?

This small, authentic town is perfect for strolling around, with its lovely main square, church, and maze-like streets. On Wednesdays and Saturdays, a lively weekly market takes over the town – offering everything from fresh fruit and vegetables to local delicacies, clothing, home goods and more. There’s something for everyone! That said, the market gets very busy during the summer months, so it’s worth arriving early – or visiting on a non-market day if you prefer exploring the city without any rush or crowds.

The town also offers a great variety of restaurants and cafés. From traditional Spanish eateries serving fresh bocadillos and tapas, to more modern and upscale options ideal for a laid-back evening – the food scene in Santanyí caters to all tastes. Whether you’re dining in a cozy courtyard or right on the main square, the town’s charm sets the perfect mood.

During the day, it’s worth heading out to explore one of the many amazing nearby coves. Especially in the early morning, before the beaches fill up, there’s nothing better than diving into the crystal-clear turquoise sea. Some of the most beautiful beaches include Cala Mondragó, Cala s'Almunia, Cala Petita near Cala d’Or, and Cala Llombards – all within a 20-minute drive of the town.

Sports lovers will also find plenty to enjoy in the area. The winding roads are great for cycling, there are scenic hiking trails in the hills and along the coast, and golf enthusiasts can tee off at the nearby Vall d’Or Golf Club.

Why Choose Santanyí?
