Campanet is situated at the foothills of the dramatic Tramuntana mountain range. It is a lovely, authentic Mallorcan village with the typical flair and atmosphere that visitors want to experience on Mallorca.

The town has about 2.600 inhabitants, including a small community of ex-pats from various European countries. Campanet is not exactly on the typical beaten tourist track on the contrary, it is an undiscovered little jewel, not an “exciting” village to visit but more for people who are sport and nature-orientated.

For the more active and adventurous, cycling is hugely popular in this region of the island and you will see large groups of cyclists dominating the roads in the spring and autumn months and relaxing in the main village square.

Campanet is only about a 30-minutes’ drive away from the island capital Palma, but you will feel miles away from the hustle and bustle of the busy resorts on the coast, that are only about 15 minutes away by car. This sleepy little pueblo is part of a charming and thankfully undiscovered Mallorca.

Attractions on the outskirts

The Immaculate Conception is not the only house of prayer in Campanet, the delightful 13th century chapel of Saint Michael (Sant Miquel) is on the outskirts near the famous natural springs called “Fonts Ufanes”.
