As you can imagine for such a delightful, traditional Mallorcan town, Santanyi has a wide choice of lively cafes, bars and restaurants to be enjoyed, many featuring the work of local artists. (It’s not just with houses for sale in Santanyi that you can find a real bargain, artworks too can change hands at extremely reasonable prices!)

One of the main attractions of Santanyi is the regular Saturday morning market, teeming in delicious local produce from the rural countryside surrounding Santanyi. Although Santanyi is an inland town, it’s just a short distance from some of Majorca’s most beautiful seaside coves, some of them almost fjord-like in appearance. Swimming, snorkelling and nature walks are some of the more popular pastimes to be enjoyed in the Santanyi area.

Santanyi also neighbours the picturesque Mondrago National Park, the second-largest protected wildlife area in the Balearic Islands. Definitely recommended for its fascinating wildlife. What’s more, Santanyi enjoys direct major road links to Palma International Airport.
