Living here

Cala Murada is a residential estate among pine woods at the southern end of Manacor’s coast, on Mallorca’s east side, right by the boundary with Felanitx. Laid out from 1956 around a small sandy cove, it is mostly villas and holiday homes, about 70 minutes' drive from Palma. It is a good fit for quiet living among the pines, if you accept that a car is essential.

Building began here in 1956, on wooded coast at the southern tip of the municipality of Manacor, and much of the pine forest was kept between the houses. There is no old village centre. Streets curve through the trees off the main Via Europa, and many are named after regions of Europe, such as Flandes, Bretanya and Escòcia. The estate runs about a kilometre south of the cove, and to the north it merges into Calas de Mallorca, whose beach at Cala Domingos is less than a kilometre away along the coast.

The beach is a small cove of fine sand that faces east. Behind it, the Torrent des Fangar and a smaller stream reach the sea, and a sandbar holds back a pond fringed with reeds, home to a colony of mallards. So the cove has a freshwater side and a saltwater side. In the beach season, which Manacor runs from May to October, there are lifeguards, and the beach has a ramp, a walkway to the wet sand and an adapted toilet. Near the beach is the Cova de Cala Murada, a burial cave cut in the Early Bronze Age.

Shops and services are few: a supermarket, a bank branch with a cash machine and a handful of bars, cafés and restaurants, including a beach restaurant that opens only in season. Calas de Mallorca, next door, has several more supermarkets. There is no school or public health centre. The nearest public GP unit, in Calas de Mallorca, opens on Tuesday and Wednesday mornings. For urgent care at nights and weekends, the health centres in Porto Cristo and Felanitx are each 20 to 25 minutes away.

Bus 416 runs all year between Cala Murada and Manacor, via Calas de Mallorca and Son Macià, and stops by Manacor’s train station, where trains and buses leave for Palma. Even so, most residents depend on a car. Manacor, with its big shops, schools and the public hospital, is about 30 minutes away. Portocolom, the nearest harbour town, is 15 to 20 minutes south, and Porto Cristo and the Coves del Drac are about 25 minutes north along the Ma-4014.

Who buys here

Cala Murada is largely a place of second and holiday homes. Only a few hundred people are registered as residents, and summer brings second-home owners and holidaymakers in rented houses. Couples and retired buyers looking for a quiet base near a beach fit in well, as do owners who come mainly in the warmer months. With children, every school run and most errands mean a drive.

Property

With the first houses built in 1956, there is no historic stock. Most homes are detached villas on garden plots among the pines, some with a private pool, and there are apartments and holiday homes in between. With no compact centre, location matters: houses near the cove are a short walk from the beach, while those on the southern and western streets are further away, and many streets slope. Check the flood risk of anything close to the torrent behind the beach. If you plan holiday lets, look for a house with an existing tourist-rental licence, checked by a lawyer, as new places are scarce.

Questions buyers ask

Is Cala Murada in Manacor or Felanitx?

Manacor. It is the southernmost settlement on Manacor’s coast, and the boundary with Felanitx runs just beyond its southern edge. Portocolom, the nearest harbour town, is on the Felanitx side.

Can I live in Cala Murada without a car?

It is hard. Bus 416 runs all year to Manacor, where you can change to the train or a bus for Palma, but there is no direct bus to Palma or the airport. Some homes are a fair walk from the shop and the bus stops.

What medical care is there nearby?

The nearest public GP unit is in Calas de Mallorca. It is run from the Porto Cristo health centre and opens on Tuesday and Wednesday mornings. The health centres in Porto Cristo and Felanitx, each 20 to 25 minutes away, have urgent care on weeknights and at weekends, and the public hospital is in Manacor, about 30 minutes away.

Is the torrent a flood risk?

The Torrent des Fangar, which reaches the sea at the beach, drains a large catchment and has a history of big floods, notably in September 1989. Part of the wetland behind the beach was filled in when the area was built up, so check the flood risk of any home near the torrent.
