Living here

Built around a church square a few kilometres inland from Cala d’Or, Calonge sits at the north-east edge of the municipality of Santanyí, about an hour from Palma. Some 1,000 people live here all year, with their own primary school and a Thursday market, and Cala d’Or’s coves and marina are about 10 minutes away. It is a good fit for buyers who want village life near the sea.

Calonge lies at the north-east edge of Santanyí, on the boundary with Felanitx, and on that side it almost runs into S’Horta, a village that belongs to Felanitx. The name first appears in 1236, for a farmstead (alqueria). A first church was built in 1801, and the present church of Sant Miquel, in neo-Romanesque style, was designed by Antoni Maria Alcover and finished in 1909. Until the mid-20th century people here lived from almonds, carobs, figs and grain, and fished at Cala Llonga, the long inlet that now holds Cala d’Or’s marina.

From the late 1960s mass tourism on the coast changed the village, as many residents opened tourist businesses or left farming for hotel and restaurant work. Calonge has roughly doubled in size since 1981, to about 1,000 residents. A small market, mostly fruit and vegetables, fills the Plaça de Sant Miquel on Thursday mornings. The patron saint’s feast, Sant Miquel, on 29 September, brings a solemn mass and cultural events during the week, and for Sant Antoni in January there are bonfires and a dance on the night of the 16th and a blessing of animals on the 17th.

The village has a state infant and primary school, CEIP Calonge, a pharmacy and a few bars and restaurants, but few shops. A small public GP unit opens two days a week; at other times patients go to the health centre in Santanyí town, about 15 minutes away, which runs urgent care on weeknights and at weekends. For a bigger shop, Cala d’Or, about 10 minutes away, has several supermarkets, and the nearest sandy coves are there too. Portopetro, Portocolom and the Mondragó Natural Park are each 10 to 15 minutes by car, and the Vall d’Or golf course, towards Portocolom, about 10.

Who buys here

Calonge is home to Mallorcan families, many of whom turned to tourism as the coast was developed. It makes sense for buyers who want a working village with a school, close to the coast but outside the resorts, and for those after a country house a short drive from Cala d’Or.

Property

The oldest houses are in the streets near the church, but cadastral records date most of the village’s homes to after 1980, including several developments of flats or townhouses from the late 1990s and 2000s. Outside the village, the old almond and carob land is dotted with country houses, most built since 2000 and many with a pool. To the north-east the houses almost meet S’Horta, in Felanitx, so check which town hall a property comes under. Santanyí’s 1985 planning rules apply. Out in the country, ask a lawyer to confirm that every building on a plot is legal and registered, and check any holiday-let licence too.

Questions buyers ask

Where does Calonge end and S’Horta begin?

The two villages almost touch on Calonge’s north-east side. Calonge belongs to Santanyí and S’Horta to Felanitx, so check which town hall a property falls under before you buy.

Where is the nearest beach?

The nearest sand is at the coves of Cala d’Or, about 10 minutes by car on the Ma-4013. Portopetro, Portocolom and the Mondragó Natural Park are each 10 to 15 minutes away.

What services does the village have?

CEIP Calonge, a state infant and primary school, a pharmacy and a small public GP unit, open on Wednesdays from 8am to 3pm and Fridays from 10am to 3pm. The municipality’s state secondary school and the health centre, with urgent care on weeknights and at weekends, are in Santanyí town, about 15 minutes away, and the public hospital is in Manacor.

Is there public transport?

TIB line 514 runs all year between Cala d’Or, Calonge, S’Horta and Felanitx, and some trips go on to Porreres. For Palma, change at Felanitx for line 501, or go via Cala d’Or, where line 515e runs direct to Palma from late March to October. Check current timetables first.

When are the village festivals?

Sant Miquel, the patron saint, on 29 September, with a solemn mass and cultural events during the week. For Sant Antoni there are bonfires and a dance on the night of 16 January and a blessing of animals the next day. The market is on Thursday mornings.
