Living here

Son Macià is a small rural village in the municipality of Manacor, about 7 km south of the city in a valley ringed by low hills, and roughly an hour’s drive from Palma. Nearly 960 people are registered here, more than half of them in country houses scattered around the village. Country quiet, a village school and Manacor 10 minutes to the north are the draw.

The village lies at about 140 m in a valley between the two southern ridges of the Serres de Llevant, ringed by low hills. It grew from a scattered rural population that gathered around a church, a school and an old group of houses. The first stone of the church was laid in 1919, Son Macià became a parish in 1938, and today’s modern church of the Sagrat Cor was blessed in 1973. A rural school opened in 1931, and the present CEIP Mestre Pere Garau, named after the teacher who worked there from 1933 to 1971, dates from 1976.

Village life is quiet. A public health unit on Carrer Central opens on Tuesday and Friday mornings. Manacor, about 10 minutes north, has the supermarkets, the Monday market, the secondary schools and the out-of-hours medical service. Old customs are kept up. Sant Antoni is celebrated in January, and the Ximbombada around carnival brings a bonfire, a supper and improvised sung verses. The summer festes in August keep alive estràngol, an old local game of knocking coins off a stone with a piece of iron.

The coast is about 7 km away. Calas de Mallorca and Cala Murada are 15 to 20 minutes by car, and Cala Varques, one of the least developed coves on the island, lies on the same stretch of coast. Prehistory is close by: the walled Talayotic settlement of s’Hospitalet Vell, beside the road to Calas de Mallorca, is a listed monument, and a dolmen and ancient burial caves lie in the surrounding countryside. Es Fangar, the largest estate in the municipality and documented since 1323, lies south-east of the village.

Who buys here

Son Macià is a small rural community that keeps its own festes and customs. For buyers, it offers a quiet country base with a village primary school and a health unit, Manacor’s shops, hospital and trains 10 to 15 minutes away, and the east-coast coves 15 to 20 minutes away. Plan on driving for nearly everything.

Property

The village core is small. It grew up around the church, the school and the old group of houses known as ses Cases Grans or ses Cases Velles. More than half of the residents live outside it, in country houses scattered among dryland fields and scrub. Many of the old estates (possessions) in the area have their own chapels, and the buildings of es Fangar carry Manacor’s highest level of heritage protection. With any country house, have a lawyer check that the buildings are legal, and check the official flood maps for anything close to a torrent bed.

Questions buyers ask

How many people live in Son Macià?

In 2025, 957 people were registered, but only 366 of them in the village itself; the rest live in scattered houses around it. Son Macià has no council of its own; it comes under Manacor, with the town hall about 7 km north in the city.

Is there a doctor in the village?

Part-time. A public health unit on Carrer Central opens on Tuesdays and Fridays from 8am to 2pm. It belongs to the Sa Torre health centre in Manacor, whose urgent-care service covers nights and weekends, and the Hospital de Manacor is about 15 minutes away by car.

Is there a bus to Manacor?

Yes. TIB bus 416 links Son Macià with Manacor, where it stops near the hospital and the train station, and with Calas de Mallorca and Cala Murada. From Manacor, trains and buses run to Palma. Check the current timetable before relying on it.

Where would my children go to school?

The village has a state primary school, CEIP Mestre Pere Garau. For secondary school, pupils go to Manacor, which has two state secondary schools, and the Rafa Nadal International School there takes pupils aged 10 to 18.

Can I let a country house to holidaymakers?

You would need a tourist-rental licence, and new ones are scarce: the limited places for houses that the Consell de Mallorca sold under the 2025 rules went to people who had owned the home for at least three years. A country house bought for rental income should already be licensed, and a lawyer should check the licence before you sign.
