Santany\u00ed is one of those villages you fall for at first sight, but only really get to enjoy once you stay.<\/strong> This is our part of the island \u2014 the southeast \u2014 and we know it from walking its streets all twelve months of the year. Golden stone and warm light, sea and unspoilt coves, art and village life all at once. We’ll tell you what it’s like to live here without the postcard gloss: what makes it special, and also the things worth knowing before you move.<\/p>\n Set at the far southeastern tip of Mallorca, the municipality of Santany\u00ed is much more than the village itself: it takes in some of the most beautiful stretches of coast on the island, from Cala Figuera to Cala Llombards. The village proper is built of mar\u00e8s \u2014 that honey-toned stone, the same one used to raise Palma’s cathedral \u2014 which gives its streets an unmistakable warm light, the very light that won over so many painters.<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text] Santany\u00ed doesn’t switch off in winter. It’s one of the liveliest villages in the southeast in its own right: it has services to spare \u2014 shops, banks, a doctor, schools, supermarkets \u2014 and a well-kept, tasteful feel without ever becoming overrun. Its Wednesday and Saturday market<\/strong> is one of the busiest in the area, filling the square and the streets of the centre with stalls of local produce, flowers and crafts. If there’s one weekly plan that never fails in Santany\u00ed, it’s the Saturday morning one: market, a caf\u00e8 amb llet<\/em> and a wander round the galleries.<\/p>\n Day to day, Santany\u00ed covers the essentials without leaning on Palma: a health centre, primary and secondary schools, pharmacies, banks and supermarkets, plus gyms, a sports centre and the usual offering of a large village in the area. For more specific errands or shopping, Campos and Palma itself are a comfortable drive away.<\/p>\n It’s a village where lifelong Mallorcan and Spanish live side by side with a notable international community \u2014 mostly German, settled here for years \u2014 which has brought galleries, caf\u00e9s and a certain cosmopolitan air without the village losing its character. That balance \u2014 an authentic village with cultural life and good services \u2014 is exactly what makes it so appealing to live in all year round, and what sets it apart from the smaller villages around it.<\/p>\n The seasons in Santany\u00ed are an argument in themselves: springs of almond blossom and green countryside, lively summers with the sea fifteen minutes away, golden autumns of perfect light and the almond harvest, and quiet winters when the village is lived at a slower, more genuine pace. It is, in short, one of the villages in Mallorca that holds up best to comparison in every month of the year.<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text] If anything defines Santany\u00ed, it’s being the gateway to the most beautiful coves in the southeast. A few minutes from the village you have Cala Figuera<\/strong>, a lovely fishing village of boathouses and small craft that seems frozen in time; Cala Santany\u00ed<\/strong> and the spectacular natural arch of Es Pont\u00e0s; Cala Llombards<\/strong>, with its fine sand framed by pines; and the famous Cal\u00f3 des Moro<\/strong>, one of the most photographed coves in all of Mallorca.<\/p>\n Close by, too, is the Mondrag\u00f3 nature park<\/strong>, with its protected coves and walking trails, and the small, wild Cala s’Almonia. Cala Figuera is still a working fishing port, with its boats and its escars<\/em>, not a stage set: that’s the kind of authenticity you can still breathe here. Living in Santany\u00ed means having all of this fifteen minutes from home \u2014 the chance to head down for a swim after work, out of season, with the cove almost to yourself.<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text] Santany\u00ed has a reputation as an artistic village, and it shows. Its art galleries, scattered through the old quarter, sit alongside workshops and design shops. The mar\u00e8s stone doesn’t only give colour to the fa\u00e7ades: it sets the character of the place, that warm, serene aesthetic that has drawn creatives for decades. The church of Sant Andreu, on the square, is one of the most imposing in the southeast and a visual landmark of the village. It’s a place to stroll slowly, browse the gallery windows and have something in a shaded square.<\/p>\n The art scene in Santany\u00ed is discreet but real: local artists, contemporary galleries and a community of creators who have found here a setting that inspires. For anyone coming from the art world, or who simply values it, living here means having that sensibility close at hand, woven into the fabric of the village itself.<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text]<\/p>\n [vc_message message_box_style=”solid-icon” message_box_color=”success” icon_fontawesome=”fa fa-sun-o”] [g5plus_space desktop=”35″ tablet=”30″ tablet_portrait=”25″ mobile_landscape=”20″ mobile=”20″] Santany\u00ed is well connected within its calm. Palma airport<\/strong> is around 45-50 minutes away by car, and the capital itself a little more. You have the whole southeast right next door \u2014 Ses Salines, Campos, Col\u00f2nia de Sant Jordi, Cala d’Or, Portopetro \u2014 and the neighbouring villages of s’Alqueria Blanca and Es Llombards. It’s a perfect base for anyone who wants to live calmly without feeling cut off.<\/p>\n Public transport in the southeast is limited. A car is practically essential for daily life: work, outings and anything beyond the village itself. That said, Santany\u00ed is one of the few villages in the southeast where you can do a fair amount on foot within the centre: the shopping, a coffee, the market, the schools.<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text] The municipality offers everything: mar\u00e8s stone village houses in the old centre, fincas and country homes in the surrounding rural setting, and property more oriented to the sea in the coastal hubs such as Cala Figuera, Cala Santany\u00ed or Cala Llombards. It’s one of the most sought-after areas in the southeast, precisely for that mix of beauty, authenticity and good services.<\/p>\n On price, Santany\u00ed is one of the most prized areas in the southeast, with very strong international demand. The characterful houses in the old centre and the first-line coastal properties carry prices in keeping with their appeal. The outlying parts of the municipality and some of the smaller hubs offer somewhat more accessible options. We live and work here, so we know every street and every cove, and what each house is really like once summer leaves.<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text]<\/p>\n [vc_message message_box_style=”solid-icon” message_box_color=”info” icon_fontawesome=”fa fa-check”] [g5plus_space desktop=”35″ tablet=”30″ tablet_portrait=”25″ mobile_landscape=”20″ mobile=”20″] Yes, it’s one of the most complete villages in the southeast. It has a health centre, primary schools and a secondary school, supermarkets, banks, a pharmacy, a sports centre, shops and restaurants. It’s one of the few villages in the southeast where you can lead a fairly full life without depending on Palma for the everyday.<\/p>\n Around 45-50 minutes by car in normal conditions. In summer it can take a little longer. The capital is a bit further. It’s a reasonable distance for coming and going without losing the day: many residents go to Palma once or twice a week without it being a problem.<\/p>\n On Wednesday and Saturday mornings, in the square and the streets of the old centre. The Saturday one is bigger and livelier, with more stalls of local produce, flowers, crafts and clothing. It’s one of the most worthwhile markets in the whole southeast, and an essential plan for anyone living here.<\/p>\n Santany\u00ed is a prized area, especially the old centre and the properties near the sea. Property prices are higher than in Campos or Ses Salines, but the level of services, beauty and demand justifies it. There are options for different budgets, above all in the outlying areas and the smaller hubs of the municipality.<\/p>\n One of the best in the southeast. It has a primary school and a secondary school, a sports centre, after-school activities and all the municipality’s coves fifteen minutes away for the weekends. The safe village atmosphere, without heavy traffic, makes family life easy. The local and international community living here includes many families with children.<\/p>\n Very little. Cala Figuera, Cala Llombards and Cala Santany\u00ed are 5-8 minutes by car. Cal\u00f3 des Moro is 12-15 minutes. Mondrag\u00f3, 15 minutes. Es Trenc, 20-25 minutes via Ses Salines. Living in Santany\u00ed means having the finest string of coves in the southeast a fifteen-minute drive away, which out of season makes it almost an exclusive luxury.<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text] Santany\u00ed is a particularly good fit if you’re looking for a village with life all year round<\/strong>, a cultural atmosphere, good services and the finest coves in the southeast a step away. It’s ideal for families, for anyone after a setting with charm and good taste, and for those who want sea and nature without giving up the comfort of a complete village. It’s less suited if you’re after the absolute quiet of a tiny hamlet or the lowest prices of the interior; for that, neighbouring villages like Campos or Es Llombards may fit better.<\/p>\n If you can picture yourself living in Santany\u00ed or in one of its coves, get in touch: we live in the area all twelve months of the year and would be delighted to help you find your place. And if you’re still deciding, take your time \u2014 we’ll tell you honestly what it’s really like in February, not just in August.<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text] [vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] Santany\u00ed is one of those villages you fall for at first sight, but only really get to enjoy once you stay.

\nThe trick of those who live here:<\/strong> the Saturday morning market on the square is one of the best plans of the week. And afterwards, a quick fifteen-minute drive to any of the municipality’s coves before the tourists arrive. In May, June or September, a morning like that is the clinching argument for having moved to Santany\u00ed.

\nWhat’s worth knowing before you move to Santany\u00ed:<\/strong> it has its own secondary and primary schools, a health centre, banks and a supermarket within the village; a car is needed to reach the coves and for errands in Palma; the Wednesday and Saturday market is the social hub of the week; in summer the village gets a fair amount of tourism but keeps its character without losing it. It’s one of the best villages in the southeast to live in all year round.
