Living here

Bunyola is the main village of its municipality, on the southern slopes of the Serra de Tramuntana below the Serra d’Alfàbia, about 30 minutes' drive north of Palma. It has a state primary school, a market twice a week and a station on the historic Sóller railway. Village life carries on all year, with mountain walks behind it and the city close at hand.

The village sits a little over 200 metres up, where the mountains begin to drop towards the plain. Behind it rises the long ridge of the Serra d’Alfàbia, which reaches 1,067 metres, and the Penyal d’Honor, in the Comuna, reaches 807 metres. The old centre is built around Sa Plaça and the Baroque parish church of Sant Mateu, with steep lanes and stone stairways known as pujadors. For centuries the village lived from dry farming, with olive oil its main product, and from firewood and charcoal cut in the hills. The Comuna, the municipality’s common woodland of pine and holm oak, is still crossed by old charcoal burners' paths.

Bunyola is the largest settlement in a municipality of about 7,600 people that also takes in Palmanyola, closer to Palma, and the mountain hamlet of Orient. Shops and cafés are grouped around Sa Plaça and Passeig Antoni Estarellas, and everyday needs are covered by a small supermarket, bakeries, a greengrocer, a pharmacy, a post office and the municipal library. A traditional market fills Sa Plaça on Wednesday and Saturday mornings. The public health unit opens on weekdays from 8:00 to 15:00. Outside those hours, urgent care is at the Santa Maria del Camí health centre, about 15 minutes away, which is open round the clock.

The village keeps its own calendar. Sant Antoni’s blessings, with a parade of floats and horses, are held on the Sunday after his feast day in January. The Mare de Déu de les Neus is celebrated on the first weekend of August, and Sant Mateu on 21 September is the main patron festival. Bonfires are lit on 24 November, the eve of Santa Catalina, and the Fira de Santa Catalina, a fair of crafts and local produce, is held around the same time. An autumn music festival, which reached its 42nd edition in 2026, holds concerts at the Teatre Rafel Ramis and the parish church.

Two historic estates lie a few minutes from the village. Raixa, remodelled as an Italian-style villa by Cardinal Antoni Despuig, has terraced gardens, a monumental stairway and a large pond. It has been publicly owned since 2002 and is open to visitors, with exhibition rooms on the Serra de Tramuntana. The Jardins d’Alfàbia, near the Coll de Sóller, stand on the site of an Islamic-era farmstead. Walkers head for viewpoints such as the Puig de sa Gubia, which looks over the Bay of Palma. The Sóller railway, opened in 1912, stops at the village station, and a winding mountain road climbs from the village to Orient.

Who buys here

Bunyola is first of all a Mallorcan village, and foreign nationals are a small minority of the municipality’s registered residents. Many people who live here commute to work in Palma and nearby towns. It is a good fit for buyers who want a real village with a school, a market and everyday services, mountain walks close by and Palma within half an hour, and who are happy to drive to the sea.

Property

In the old centre, homes are mostly older, closely packed village houses on steep, narrow lanes and stepped alleys, so check access and parking before you buy. Further out, houses are more spread out, with newer homes and small residential areas such as Pla de sa Coma. In the countryside of the municipality are old farm estates, known as possessions, such as Son Termens and Biniforani, and scattered rural houses among olive groves and terraces.

Pros and cons

For

  • About 30 minutes to central Palma and to the airport
  • Year-round village with a market twice a week
  • Primary school, nursery and a health unit in the village
  • Mountain walks, Raixa and Alfàbia close by

Against

  • Steep lanes and stepped alleys, with tight central parking
  • Only small shops; a big weekly shop means a drive

Questions buyers ask

Can you commute to Palma from Bunyola?

Yes. Central Palma is about 30 minutes by car outside rush hour, and TIB bus line 205 runs from the village through Palmanyola and Son Sardina to the Estació Intermodal at Plaça d’Espanya. The Sóller train also stops here, but it runs only a few times a day and the first train towards Palma leaves after 9 am, so it is little use for a daily commute.

What schools are there?

The village has a state infant and primary school, CEIP Mestre Colom, whose oldest building dates from 1928; plans for a full renovation were agreed in 2025. The municipal nursery, Ca ses Monges, is also in the village. There is no secondary school: pupils are assigned to state institutes in north Palma, with the institute in Sóller as a voluntary option. International schools are in and around Palma.

Where is the nearest doctor and emergency care?

The village health unit on Plaça Andreu Estarellas opens on weekdays from 8:00 to 15:00. It belongs to the Santa Maria del Camí health centre, about 15 minutes away, which provides urgent care round the clock. The public reference hospital is Son Llàtzer in Palma, about 25 minutes by car.

When is the market in Bunyola?

A traditional market is held in Sa Plaça on Wednesday and Saturday mornings. In November the village also holds the Fira de Santa Catalina, a fair of crafts, local produce and environmental stalls.

Which municipality is Bunyola in?

Bunyola is its own municipality. Besides the village it includes Palmanyola, a residential area closer to Palma, the hamlet of Orient in its mountain valley, and the historic estates of Raixa and Alfàbia.
