Living here

Sant Llorenç des Cardassar is a municipality of about 9,230 people in the Llevant, Mallorca’s east. It reaches from the wooded hills around its inland town to the coast at Sa Coma, S’Illot and the southern part of Cala Millor, 65 to 75 minutes from Palma. The choice for buyers is between a lived-in village and a flat near a long sandy beach.

The municipality covers about 82 square kilometres and borders Manacor, Petra, Artà and Son Servera. Much of it lies in the low hills of the Serres de Llevant, with pine and holm oak woods above the farmland. The highest point is the Puig des Pare, at 487 metres, with Calicant close behind. Most of the land drains into the torrent de ca n’Amer, which crosses the municipality and meets the sea at S’Illot. The coast is short: the southern part of Cala Millor, the protected Punta de n’Amer headland, Sa Coma and the northern side of S’Illot.

For centuries all of this belonged to Manacor. Sant Llorenç became a municipality of its own in 1892, taking in Son Carrió inland and the coast at Cala Millor, Sa Coma and S’Illot. In 1948 building plots were authorised at Ca n’Amer and tourist building began, but until the 1960s most people lived from farming, livestock, embroidery and woodwork. Then tourism and building on the coast took over. About 2,500 people lived in the municipality at the end of the 19th century, more than 8,000 by 2011 and about 9,230 in 2025. The largest places are Sant Llorenç town, with about 3,850 registered residents, and Sa Coma, with about 2,800.

The town hall is on Plaça de l’Ajuntament in Sant Llorenç. Each of the three main places has a state primary school, CEIP Mestre Guillem Galmés in the town, CEIP Sant Miquel in Son Carrió and CEIP Punta de n’Amer in Sa Coma, and a public nursery for under-threes. There is no secondary school. All three also have a public health unit, attached to the Llevant health centre in Son Servera, which provides urgent care out of hours, and the public hospital is in Manacor. Markets run all year on Thursday mornings in Sant Llorenç and Friday mornings in Son Carrió, with evening markets in Sa Coma and S’Illot in the tourist season.

The Ma-15, Palma’s main road to the east, passes Sant Llorenç on its way from Manacor to Artà. Manacor, with its hospital, bigger shops and trains to Palma, is 15 to 25 minutes' drive away. Buses 411 and 412 link Sant Llorenç with Manacor all year, and 412 also serves Son Servera and Cala Millor. Line 417 runs from Son Carrió through Sant Llorenç to Manacor, and line 401 from Cala Millor through Sa Coma and S’Illot to Manacor and Palma. The old Manacor to Artà railway, closed in 1977, is now a greenway, and the island’s railway museum opened at Son Carrió’s old station in 2025.

Who buys here

Sant Llorenç and Son Carrió are working villages, lived in all year. On the coast, the town hall says much of the growth has come from people who moved there to work in hotels and services, often temporarily. Buyers from abroad usually want either an old town house or country home inland, with school, market and health unit nearby and beaches 10 to 20 minutes away, or a holiday flat or retirement base by the sand in Sa Coma, Cala Millor or S’Illot, with a quiet winter.

Property

Inland, the two villages have older houses in their centres and newer streets at the edges, with farmhouses and country homes across the fields and wooded hills. On the coast nearly everything is modern: hotels and apartment blocks from the 1960s onwards in Cala Millor, mostly 1980s hotels, flats and second homes in Sa Coma, and summer houses and holiday apartments in S’Illot. Planning still rests on the town hall’s Normes Subsidiàries, amended piece by piece, but Cala Millor and S’Illot are split with other councils, so check which applies. Have a lawyer check what is allowed on rural land, and look at the official flood maps near any torrent.

How Sant Llorenç breaks down

  1. The municipal seat, with about 3,850 residents, the town hall, a Thursday market, a primary school and a health unit, just off the Ma-15 between Manacor and Artà. It was hit hard by the 2018 flood, and its bypass is being rebuilt. Cala Millor is about 15 minutes away.

  2. A village of about 1,180 people on the plain towards the coast, with a 19th-century core, a Friday market, a primary school, a health unit, a church with a Gaudí link and the island’s railway museum. Sa Coma and Porto Cristo are 10 to 15 minutes away.

  3. The largest place on the municipality’s coast, with about 2,800 registered residents behind a long sandy beach and the protected Punta de n’Amer headland. Mostly built from the 1980s, it has a primary school, a library, a weekday health unit and the all-year 401 bus to Palma.

  4. Sant Llorenç has the southern part of this big hotel resort, towards Punta de n’Amer, and Son Servera the northern part, towards Cala Bona. Expect about 1.8 km of sand, a promenade, hotels and apartment blocks from the 1960s onwards, and a quiet winter.

  5. A small seaside village split by the torrent de ca n’Amer. Sant Llorenç has the smaller northern side, about 470 residents, which runs into Sa Coma and holds the prehistoric settlement. The larger southern side, with the school and GP unit, belongs to Manacor.

Pros and cons

  • All-year markets in Sant Llorenç and Son Carrió

Against

  • Roughly an hour or more from Palma and the airport
  • The torrents flooded in 2018; check flood maps before buying
  • No secondary school: teenagers go to Artà or Son Servera
  • The coastal resorts are very quiet in winter
  • Sant Llorenç bypass closed for flood works until early 2027

Questions buyers ask

What does the municipality of Sant Llorenç des Cardassar include?

Two inland villages, Sant Llorenç itself, where the town hall is, and Son Carrió, plus a short stretch of coast: the resort of Sa Coma, the southern part of Cala Millor and the northern side of S’Illot. Between them lie farmland, wooded hills and the protected Punta de n’Amer headland. About 9,230 people were registered in 2025.

Village or beach resort: how do I choose?

Inland, Sant Llorenç and Son Carrió are working villages with all-year markets, schools and festes, and the beaches are 10 to 20 minutes away by car. On the coast, Sa Coma, Cala Millor and S’Illot put the sand on your doorstep, but they were built for tourism and are much quieter in winter.

Is flooding still a risk?

Near the torrents, yes. On 9 October 2018 more than 200 litres of rain fell on every square metre in a few hours, and the torrent de ca n’Amer burst its banks at several points; Sant Llorenç, Son Carrió and S’Illot were among the worst-hit places, and 13 people died across the area. The bypass crossing in Sant Llorenç is being rebuilt with ten openings instead of four, due to reopen early in 2027. Check any property against the official Balearic flood maps.

Where would my children go to school?

There are state primary schools and public nurseries for under-threes in Sant Llorenç, Son Carrió and Sa Coma; in Son Carrió the nursery became part of the primary school in September 2026. There is no secondary school in the municipality: pupils from the two inland villages go on to IES Llorenç Garcias i Font in Artà, and those from Sa Coma to IES Puig de sa Font in Son Servera.

Can I let a home to tourists here?

Only with a tourist-rental licence, and new ones are hard to come by. Mallorca no longer registers flats for holiday lets, and the few new places for houses go to owners who have held the home for at least three years. Inland or on the coast, buy a property that already has a licence and ask a lawyer to verify it.
