Living here

The East covers the municipalities of Manacor and Felanitx, from the farmland of the Pla to the east coast. Two inland market towns, the harbour town of Porto Cristo, the harbour village of Portocolom, a string of resort coves and quiet farm villages lie 50 to 75 minutes from Palma. Its strength is year-round town life with the sea a short drive away.

The zone covers about 430 square kilometres: Manacor, the island’s second-largest municipality by area, to the north and Felanitx to the south. Inland, the Pla’s farmland rises into the low, pine-topped hills of the Serres de Llevant, whose highest point here is the Puig de Sant Salvador (509 metres) above Felanitx. The coast runs from S’Illot, where a torrent marks the boundary with Sant Llorenç, south past Porto Cristo and Portocolom to Cala Ferrera and Cala Serena, where Cala d’Or begins. Manacor’s stretch is mostly steep and rocky, broken by small sandy coves, and its limestone holds dozens of caves, including the Coves del Drac and Coves dels Hams.

About 68,300 people were registered across the zone in 2025. Most live in the two inland towns, Manacor city (about 33,800) and Felanitx (about 10,400), or in Porto Cristo (about 9,500) and Portocolom (about 4,850). All four keep going all year, with state schools, public health care and weekly markets: Monday in Manacor, Sunday in Felanitx and Porto Cristo, Tuesday and Saturday in Portocolom. The farm villages of Son Macià, S’Horta and Cas Concos each have a state primary school and a part-time GP unit. The resorts fill up in summer and go very quiet in winter, when some businesses close.

From Palma, the Ma-15 dual carriageway covers the 47 km to Manacor, while Felanitx is reached by way of Campos and the Ma-19. Both towns are 50 to 55 minutes from central Palma and 15 to 20 minutes from each other on the Ma-14, and most of the coast is 60 to 75 minutes from Palma. Trains run from Manacor to Palma in about 70 minutes, and buses run to Palma all year from S’Illot, Porto Cristo, Manacor and Felanitx. The Hospital de Manacor is the public hospital for the whole zone, and the health centres in Manacor, Porto Cristo and Felanitx run urgent care at nights and weekends.

Both harbours are still working ports. Portocolom’s sheltered bay is one of the island’s largest natural harbours, with fishing boats moored beside the yachts, and Porto Cristo has a marina, a fishing quay and a sandy town beach. North of Calas de Mallorca, protected and unbuilt coast leads to wild coves such as Cala Varques, and the Vall d’Or golf course lies on the road from Portocolom to Cala d’Or. Inland are the sanctuary of Sant Salvador and the castle of Santueri near Felanitx, and a 29 km greenway on the old railway from Manacor to Artà.

Who buys here

Buyers tend to choose by way of life. Families and people living here all year look at Manacor, Felanitx and Porto Cristo, near schools and health care, and some families with young tennis players come for the Rafa Nadal Academy. Boat owners look at Porto Cristo and Portocolom, and second-home buyers and retired couples at the coves, where many homes are still second homes. Well-off Germans have settled in the countryside between Cas Concos, Es Carritxó and Calonge (in Santanyí), an area jokingly called the Hamburger Hügel.

Property

Housing follows the zone’s history. The two inland towns have townhouses and flats; central Manacor has some grander 19th-century houses, and Felanitx’s older houses sometimes need work. On the coast, Portocolom keeps fishermen’s houses and boathouses in its old core, while Porto Cristo grew mostly from the 1960s. Every resort is modern, with villas, chalets, apartments and hotels dating from S’Illot’s first summer houses in the 1930s to Cala Murada (1956), Cala Serena (1966) and Calas de Mallorca (late 1960s). Country houses and old estates sit among almond groves, cereal fields and vineyards. Check flood maps near torrents, the legal status of any country house and any holiday-let licence.

How the East breaks down

  1. By far the zone’s largest town, with about 33,800 residents. It has the public hospital, two state secondary schools, the Rafa Nadal International School, the train to Palma and a big Monday market. Townhouses and flats in the centre; the nearest beach is Porto Cristo’s, about 15 minutes away.

  2. A smaller market town of about 10,400 people, 15 to 20 minutes from Manacor, with Felanitx’s town hall, a health centre with urgent care and the municipality’s secondary school. It has a covered market and a big Sunday street market, town houses in the old centre (some needing work) and fincas among the fields around.

  3. Manacor’s northern coast. Porto Cristo is a harbour town of some 9,500 residents with a sandy beach, a marina, the Coves del Drac and services all year. S’Illot, about 5 km north and split with Sant Llorenç, is a family seaside village with a primary school. Torrents have flooded both.

  4. Resort coves along the coast south of Porto Cristo: Cala Anguila and Cala Mendia, Cala Romàntica, Calas de Mallorca and the pine-wooded villa estate of Cala Murada. Modern villas, apartments and hotels, and quiet winters. Errands involve driving to Porto Cristo, Manacor or Portocolom. In April 2026 planning licences in Calas de Mallorca had long been on hold.

  5. Felanitx’s harbour village, home to about 4,850 people around one of the island’s largest natural harbours, where fishing boats still tie up beside yachts. The old core keeps its fishermen’s houses and boathouses, and the village has sandy beaches and its own primary school, GP unit and market twice a week.

  6. At the southern end of the zone’s coast, Felanitx runs on into Cala d’Or (in Santanyí). Two small coves are ringed by pine-shaded villas, apartments and hotels, with only about 400 registered residents. Cala d’Or supplies the shops and marina; neither place has a school or public GP unit.

  7. Farm villages for country quiet: Son Macià in a valley south of Manacor, S’Horta between Felanitx and the coast, and Cas Concos on the road south to Santanyí. Each has between about 960 and 1,170 registered residents, a state primary school and a part-time GP unit, with fincas and old estates around.

Questions buyers ask

Which places does the East include?

Two municipalities. Manacor takes in Manacor city, Porto Cristo, the southern side of S’Illot, Cala Anguila and Cala Mendia, Cala Romàntica, Calas de Mallorca, Cala Murada and the village of Son Macià, while Felanitx takes in Felanitx town, Portocolom, the villages of S’Horta and Cas Concos, five small hamlets, and Cala Ferrera and Cala Serena. Cala d’Or and Calonge belong to Santanyí, and the northern side of S’Illot to Sant Llorenç.

How do the Manacor and Felanitx sides differ?

Manacor is the larger of the two, with the hospital, the train, more schools, the harbour town of Porto Cristo and most of the resort coves. Felanitx is smaller and more rural: a market town and farm villages inland, with the harbour village of Portocolom and the coves of Cala Ferrera and Cala Serena, next to Cala d’Or, on its coast. The two towns are 15 to 20 minutes apart.

How far can I get without a car?

Manacor city and Felanitx town are manageable without one. Trains run from Manacor to Palma in about 70 minutes, bus 401 runs all year from S’Illot and Porto Cristo through Manacor to Palma, and bus 501 links Felanitx with Manacor and Palma. Elsewhere a car is close to essential: the coves just south of Porto Cristo, from Cala Anguila to Cala Romàntica, have no winter bus, and from Felanitx you change at Campos for the airport.

Where are the hospital and schools?

The Hospital de Manacor, on the northern edge of the city, is the public hospital for the whole zone, and the health centres in Manacor, Porto Cristo and Felanitx run urgent care at nights and weekends. State secondary schools are in Manacor, Porto Cristo and Felanitx, and Portocolom, S’Illot, Son Macià, S’Horta and Cas Concos have state primaries. The Rafa Nadal International School in Manacor takes pupils aged 10 to 18.

Can I let my home to holidaymakers?

Only with a tourist-rental licence, and new ones are hard to get. Flats can no longer be registered for holiday lets in Mallorca, and the few new places for houses go to people who have owned the home for at least three years. If rental income matters, buy a home that already has a licence and have a lawyer check it.
