Living here

Son Servera is the main town of its municipality in Mallorca’s northeast, about 3 km from the sea and some 70 minutes' drive from Palma. About 5,500 people are registered in and around the town, which has schools, a health centre and a Friday market, and Cala Millor’s beach is 5 to 10 minutes away. It makes a practical base for everyday town life with the coast close by.

The town grew up at the foot of the Puig de sa Font, around an old defensive tower that now stands over the parish church of Sant Joan Baptista and serves as its bell tower. The church was begun in 1622 on Plaça de Sant Joan. For centuries Son Servera belonged to Artà. It had short spells of independence in the 1810s and 1820s and became a municipality for good in 1837. The plague of 1820 killed more than half of its people, and a sculpture in the town, the Pastoret, recalls the epidemic.

On Carrer Creus stands the Església Nova, a neo-Gothic church designed by Joan Rubió i Bellver, who worked with Gaudí. Work began in the early 1900s and was never finished, and the nave, open to the sky, is now used for cultural events and special religious services. The town hall is on Plaça de Sant Ignasi. Of the municipality’s roughly 12,400 registered residents, about 5,500 live in the town and the countryside around it, so it is lived in all year.

Everyday services are here. The public health centre on Carrer del Pi Gros has urgent care around the clock, and the nearest hospital is in Manacor, about 20 minutes away. The state primary school, CEIP Jaume Fornaris i Taltavull, feeds the secondary school, IES Puig de sa Font, and the town also has a music and dance school. The Friday morning market runs all year, with around 200 stalls spread from the centre down to the old railway station, and the parish church is open to visitors while it is on.

The calendar starts with Sant Antoni on 17 January and Sant Ignasi on 1 February, and in early February an almond blossom fair has been held at Ca s’Hereu, an old estate long held by the Servera family. The patron saint, Sant Joan, is celebrated around 24 June. The railway to Manacor and Artà closed in 1977; the town hall now looks after the old station buildings, and the line has become a greenway. Cala Millor and the harbour at Cala Bona are 5 to 10 minutes by car, Costa dels Pins and its golf club about 10 to 15, and Artà about 15.

Who buys here

Local people are known as serverins, and the town keeps its own year-round rhythm of school, market and festes. Foreigners have been part of the municipality for years: in 2006 about 2,100 residents held foreign nationality, some 650 of them German. Buyers who settle here tend to want shops, schools and a health centre on foot all year, a house in town or a country property, and the beach a short drive away.

Property

The oldest streets grew up around the tower that is now the parish church’s bell tower, on Plaça de Sant Joan. Carrer del Doctor Servera, which runs from the tower towards the Puig de sa Font, began as the boundary between two estates. Planning rules approved in 2014 limited new building in the historic centre to a ground floor and one upper floor, and came with a catalogue of protected buildings. Outside the town, in a basin ringed by hills, old estates and scattered houses sit among farmland, and about 640 people lived in the open countryside of the municipality in 2021.

Questions buyers ask

What is the difference between Son Servera and Cala Millor?

Son Servera is the inland town, about 3 km from the sea, with the town hall and most year-round services. Cala Millor is the beach resort on the coast, its northern part in Son Servera and its southern part in Sant Llorenç des Cardassar. The municipality also covers Cala Bona, Costa dels Pins and Port Verd.

Can I get by without a car?

In the town itself, mostly, as the shops, schools, health centre and market are close together. Bus 412 runs all year, roughly hourly in the day and less often on Sundays, to Cala Millor in about 7 minutes and to Manacor’s hospital and train station in about half an hour. For Palma, change in Cala Millor or Manacor for the 401, or take the train from Manacor.

Are there schools in the town?

Yes. The state primary school, CEIP Jaume Fornaris i Taltavull, and the state secondary school, IES Puig de sa Font, are both in Son Servera, and there is also a state-funded private infant school. The town hall’s education services are based in the Escoles Velles on Carrer de Sant Antoni.

Can I enlarge an old town house in the centre?

Only within the planning rules. Those approved in 2014 limited new building in the historic centre to a ground floor and one upper floor, and some buildings are on the town’s protected heritage list. Ask the town hall’s planning office what applies to a particular house before you buy.

Could I rent my house to holidaymakers?

Only with a tourist-rental licence, and those are now scarce. Since the 2025 rules, flats cannot be newly registered for holiday lets anywhere in Mallorca, and the small number of new places for houses were sold by the Consell de Mallorca to owners of at least three years' standing. If you need the income, buy a home that already has a licence and get a lawyer to verify it.
