Living here

The Southeast is Mallorca’s southern corner: three municipalities, Campos, Ses Salines and Santanyí, running from Sa Ràpita and the long white sands of Es Trenc round to the coves of Cala d’Or. Market towns, farming villages, fishing harbours and low-rise resorts lie 40 to 70 minutes from Palma. Choose it for beaches, boats and village life all year, as long as an hour’s drive to the city suits you.

Inland, the zone is low farmland, flat or gently rolling, given to almond groves, cereal fields and market gardens and dotted with old estates and windmills. The coast has two faces. From Sa Ràpita to Colònia de Sant Jordi it is low, with Es Trenc’s long beach, its dunes and the Salobrar salt pans behind, and the island of Cabrera offshore. Beyond Cap de ses Salines, the island’s southernmost point, Santanyí’s rocky coast is cut by narrow inlets: Cala Llombards, Cala Santanyí, Cala Figuera, the Mondragó coves, Portopetro and Cala d’Or. About 30,800 people were registered across the zone in 2025.

Life runs from three towns with town halls: Campos, by far the largest with about 11,000 residents, Santanyí, with about 3,700, and Ses Salines, with about 2,200. All three keep going all year, with schools, public GP care and weekly markets. On the coast, Cala d’Or, with about 4,200 residents, and Colònia de Sant Jordi, with about 3,000, keep a GP unit and a primary school open all winter, and the villages of S’Alqueria Blanca, Calonge and Es Llombards have their own primary schools. Cala Santanyí and Cala Llombards are mainly summer places, and Sa Ràpita and Ses Covetes, which began as summer retreats, are much quieter out of season.

The Ma-19 is the zone’s main road: dual carriageway from Palma to Campos since 2021, then a single road through Santanyí and S’Alqueria Blanca to Portopetro. The Ma-14 runs north from Santanyí to Felanitx and Manacor. The railway closed in 1964, so there is no train. From Campos, buses run all year to Palma and the airport, and Sa Ràpita has its own all-year bus to Palma; most other places mean a change at Campos. The health centres in Campos and Santanyí provide urgent care at night and at weekends, and the public hospital for the whole zone is in Manacor.

Outdoor life is about the sea and three protected areas. The Es Trenc-Salobrar de Campos natural park, declared in 2017, covers the beach, dunes and wetland between Sa Ràpita and Colònia. The Mondragó Natural Park, protected since 1992, keeps 785 hectares of coves, dunes and pine woods near Portopetro, and in season boats leave Colònia for the Cabrera National Park. Sa Ràpita, Colònia, Portopetro and Cala d’Or, whose marina has over 500 berths, have leisure moorings; Cala Figuera is mainly a fishing harbour. Salt is still harvested the traditional way at the Salobrar and Colònia, and the Vall d’Or golf course is a few kilometres north of Calonge, in Felanitx.

Who buys here

Germans have long lived around Santanyí: in 2022 they were the largest foreign nationality there, and the countryside between Calonge, S’Alqueria Blanca and Cas Concos is jokingly called the Hamburger Hügel. In Ses Salines, Moroccans and Germans were the largest groups. Colònia de Sant Jordi has many second homes owned by people from Palma, Campos and nearby towns, and Sa Ràpita began as the seaside retreat of Campos families. Buyers include families wanting a village school, retired couples, boat owners and second-home owners happy to be an hour from Palma.

Property

The towns and villages have older houses around their churches and squares, in Santanyí built of the honey-coloured local stone, and Campos keeps several grand family houses (casals). Country houses and old estates (possessions) are spread across the farmland. Cala d’Or is low-rise and mostly white, in an Ibizan style dating from the 1930s. Cala Figuera and Cala Santanyí grew mainly from the 1960s with villas, apartments and a few hotels, and Cala Llombards with detached houses. Colònia mixes terraced houses, small blocks of flats and detached houses, and Sa Ràpita grew from summer houses. Near the shore the coastal law applies, and rural plots need a lawyer’s check.

How the Southeast breaks down

  1. The zone’s largest town, with about 11,000 residents, 40 to 45 minutes from Palma on the dual carriageway. It has the town hall, a health centre with night and weekend urgent care, primary and secondary schools and markets on Thursday and Saturday mornings, with grand family houses in the centre and country estates on the plain around it.

  2. Campos’s coast: Sa Ràpita, a quiet village that grew from summer houses, with a yacht club marina, a part-time GP unit and no hotels, and the hamlet of Ses Covetes, where Es Trenc begins. About 1,400 residents between them, many more in summer, and an all-year bus to Palma.

  3. The municipality of Ses Salines. Colònia de Sant Jordi, with about 3,000 residents, is a harbour village with Es Trenc on foot and boats to Cabrera in season; Ses Salines, with about 2,200, is the calmer inland town with the town hall. Both have a primary school and a GP unit. In Colònia, building work stops in July and August.

  4. The stone-built market town and seat of Santanyí’s town hall, with about 3,700 residents, 50 to 55 minutes from Palma. It has the health centre with out-of-hours care, the state secondary school, a Wednesday and Saturday market that gets very busy in summer, and the coves about 10 minutes away.

  5. Three working villages of about 600 to 1,000 people, each with a primary school, a part-time GP unit and a weekly market, in farmland where foreigners, many of them German, have long bought country houses. Summer traffic squeezes through S’Alqueria Blanca, and Es Llombards' land reaches the villa area of Cala Llombards and Cap de ses Salines.

  6. Two small places on the coast about 10 minutes south of Santanyí town, with no school or GP unit. Cala Figuera, with about 740 residents, is a working fishing harbour in a deep, narrow inlet with no proper beach. Cala Santanyí, with about 400, is a small resort round a sheltered sandy cove, very quiet in winter.

  7. The north-east end of the coast, 60 to 70 minutes from Palma. Cala d’Or, the largest coastal town with about 4,200 residents, has low white Ibizan-style villas and flats round small coves, a marina, a GP unit and a primary school. Portopetro, with about 800 people, is a harbour village 10 minutes away beside the Mondragó Natural Park.

Questions buyers ask

Which places does the Southeast include?

Three municipalities. Santanyí takes in Santanyí town, Cala d’Or, Portopetro, Cala Figuera, Cala Santanyí, Cala Llombards and the villages of S’Alqueria Blanca, Calonge and Es Llombards; Ses Salines has its inland town and Colònia de Sant Jordi; and Campos has its market town, Sa Ràpita and Ses Covetes. Nearby S’Horta, Cas Concos, Cala Ferrera and Cala Serena belong to Felanitx, in the East zone.

Should I look near Es Trenc or among the coves?

The south coast from Sa Ràpita to Colònia de Sant Jordi has long sandy beaches and the Es Trenc natural park, 45 to 55 minutes from Palma, and has long been a summer retreat for Mallorcan families. Santanyí’s coast has small sandy coves in rocky inlets, fishing harbours and Cala d’Or’s marina, 55 to 70 minutes from Palma. The inland towns of Campos, Ses Salines and Santanyí are lived in all year, 10 to 20 minutes from the sea.

Where are the schools, and is there an international school?

State primary schools are spread across the towns and larger villages, with secondary schools in Santanyí town and Campos; Ses Salines pupils go to Campos. None of the schools listed for the three municipalities is international. The Rafa Nadal International School in Manacor, tied to its tennis academy and now teaching from pre-nursery through secondary, is 30 to 45 minutes away, and Eurocampus, the German school on the Palma side of s’Arenal, is 25 to 30 minutes from Campos and 40 to 45 from Santanyí town and Colònia.

Can I get to Palma and the airport without a car?

From Campos, yes: line 501 runs to Palma and the A51 to the airport all year, and Sa Ràpita has line 508 to Palma via Llucmajor. Elsewhere, lines 515, 516 and 517 run all year to Campos, where you change, line 514 links Cala d’Or and Calonge with Felanitx, and line 515e runs direct from Cala d’Or to Palma via Santanyí from late March to October. Outside Campos, a car makes daily life much easier.

Can I let my property to holidaymakers?

Only with a tourist-rental licence, and new ones are hard to get. No new flats can be registered for holiday lets in Mallorca, and the Consell de Mallorca releases only a limited number of places for houses; its March 2026 round was allocated by public draw. If rental income matters, buy a home with an existing licence and have a lawyer check it.
