Living here

Artà is a large municipality of about 140 square kilometres in Mallorca’s northeast, running from the Bay of Alcúdia across the Artà hills to Cala Torta on the Capdepera boundary. Most of its roughly 8,600 residents live in Artà town; the others are spread between Colònia de Sant Pere, a few small coastal estates and the countryside. Buyers come for a working town and a long coastline that is still largely unbuilt.

The municipality borders Santa Margalida, Petra, Sant Llorenç des Cardassar, Son Servera and Capdepera. Artà town lies inland in a wide valley. To the north rise the Artà hills, the highest and most compact range in the Serres de Llevant, which top out at Talaia Freda at about 560 metres. The coast, about 25 km long, starts in the west with the dunes of sa Canova and passes Colònia de Sant Pere and Betlem. East of Betlem, all the way to Cala Torta, it is still in its natural state, with coves such as Cala Estreta and Cala Mitjana.

Artà town is the centre for the whole municipality. The town hall is on Plaça de l’Ajuntament, and Colònia de Sant Pere has a municipal office and its own library. The town and the Colònia each have a municipal nursery and a state primary school. The town also has two state-funded private schools and IES Llorenç Garcias i Font, the state secondary school. The town’s health centre has out-of-hours care, the Colònia’s small health unit opens three days a week, and the public hospital is in Manacor. TIB buses run from the town to Manacor, with connections to Palma, and line 421 links the Colònia and Montferrutx with the town.

The parts of the municipality keep different rhythms. The town works all year, with the Tuesday market, Sant Antoni on 16 and 17 January, the Sant Salvador festival in early August and the fair on the second Sunday of September. In summer many town families move down to Colònia de Sant Pere, and the holiday homes along the coast fill up. In 2023 the Llevant natural park was enlarged about tenfold to take in the protected Natura 2000 area of the Artà hills. Walking routes lead into the hills from s’Alqueria Vella, and a path follows the shore from Cala Torta to s’Arenalet d’Albarca.

Two practical points come up across the municipality: water and old timber. Colònia de Sant Pere draws its water from wells, and from June 2024 to February 2025 residents there and in Montferrutx and s’Estanyol could not use mains water for gardens, pools or washing cars. In August 2025 the council declared a drought pre-alert for the whole municipality, and in September 2026 the Consell de Mallorca gave final approval to planning rules on pools and outdoor water use. Termites have turned up in houses in the town and in a municipal building in the Colònia, and the town hall advises owners to have beams and frames checked.

Who buys here

Many Artà families keep a summer house in Colònia de Sant Pere. Foreign residents, Germans among them, have been part of the town for at least two decades, and the town hall’s tourism website describes Betlem and s’Estanyol as residential areas used mostly by foreigners who come for the Mediterranean climate. The municipality suits families who want schools within walking distance, walkers and cyclists, and second-home owners who value quiet and open coast over nightlife and a short run to the airport.

Property

Artà town has the old stock: steep, narrow streets of traditional townhouses below Sant Salvador, and grander manor houses around Carrer d’Antoni Blanes and Carrer de Rafel Blanes. In the valleys around it are country houses and old estates among almond, fig, carob and olive trees. On the coast, building is newer and low. Since the 1960s, one- and two-storey houses have spread around Colònia de Sant Pere’s 1880 street grid, and the holiday-home estates of Betlem, Montferrutx and s’Estanyol have gone up along the shore. The town’s planning rules, the Normes Subsidiàries, are being amended on water use and holiday lets, so have a lawyer and an architect check any property before you commit.

How Artà breaks down

  1. The inland town holds most of the municipality’s residents and nearly all its services: the town hall, the secondary school, the health centre and the Tuesday market. Old townhouses climb below the hilltop sanctuary of Sant Salvador, with country houses in the valleys around.

  2. A low-rise seaside village founded as a farming colony in 1880, about 15 minutes from the town, with a small beach, a marina, a primary school and a part-time health unit. The smaller estates of Montferrutx and s’Estanyol lie nearby, and many town families spend the summer here.

  3. A spread-out area of holiday homes where the coast road ends, about 4.5 km beyond the Colònia, with the Artà hills behind it and the Ermita de Betlem above. About 70 people are registered here, and it has a small shop but no school and no bus stop.

  • Tourist-place caps proposed for every settlement
  • Termites in some old buildings: get beams and frames checked

Questions buyers ask

What does the municipality of Artà include?

Artà town, where most of its roughly 8,600 residents live, the seaside village of Colònia de Sant Pere, and the small coastal estates of Montferrutx, Betlem, s’Estanyol and Sant Pere. Around them are farmland, the Artà hills and a long stretch of protected coast.

Town, Colònia or Betlem: which suits me?

The town suits buyers who want to walk to schools, shops, the health centre and the Tuesday market all year. Colònia de Sant Pere has a beach, a marina and a primary school, about 15 minutes from the town. Betlem is a quieter holiday-home area for people happy to drive for everything.

How strict are the holiday-let rules?

Strict, and getting stricter. Any holiday let needs a tourist licence, and in September 2026 the council gave initial approval to caps on tourist places in each settlement and on rural land, with limits on holiday lets in flats and in the old centre. Conflicting applications are frozen for two years, and final approval rests with the Consell de Mallorca, so ask to see a property’s licence early.

Where are the nearest hospital and secondary school?

The state secondary school, IES Llorenç Garcias i Font, is in Artà town and serves the whole municipality. The health centre there has out-of-hours care. The nearest public hospital is the Hospital de Manacor, about 25 minutes from the town and 30 to 35 from the coast.

Is water a problem?

It can be. Colònia de Sant Pere relies on wells, and it, Montferrutx and s’Estanyol had a ban on using mains water for gardens and pools from June 2024 to February 2025, and the whole municipality went on drought pre-alert in August 2025. New planning rules on pools and outdoor water use were approved in September 2026, so ask the town hall before you plan a pool.
