The Inland of Mallorca is a very beautiful, traditional and quiet region.

This is the area covering the foothills to the South of the Serra de Tramuntana and comprises some of the most emblematic villages and towns of Mallorca, including Mancor de la Vall, Alaró and Campanet, as well as the vibrant towns of Alcudia, on the Northeast coast, and Santa Maria, close to Palma.
An ideal distance from the mountains for those who wish to reside all year round, the foothills of the Serra de Tramuntana provide some of the loveliest landscapes of Mallorca and are still completely unspoilt. Because of their elevated position, fantastic sea views are possible, although the beach for the most part a twenty minute drive away,  and temperatures are a little cooler than the plains in Summer. This is the area for nature lovers, star gazers and those who appreciate peace and quiet and the old traditional ways of life.

Pla de Mallorca - Centre of Mallorca

This central plains region is considered to be the most authentic of Mallorca. Oblivious to outside influences, an agricultural way of life continues to dominate the landscape, which is dedicated to grain crops, livestock farming including sheep and pigs, and in certain parts – most notably Sta Maria and Binissalem – to vineyards. Sta Maria: an excellent location, in the town of Santa María. In case you are not familiar with this town, it is the next market town outside Palma, famous for its vinyards and market, with a lively, cosmopolitan feel to it, a number of renowned restaurants, while at the same time being very rural. It has the added advantage of being on the train line, making the city centre of Palma accessible ten minutes away.

The mountains create a picturesque backdrop to the corn-wafted, poppy-blown plains. This is the ideal place for those who appreciate the views of rural life without the winding roads of the mountains, who like the searing heat of Summer or else plan to be absent in August. It is the natural base for business owners who ply their trade all over the island, or for those who wish to savour the delights on offer island-wide and travel to a different beach each day.
Properties in this area still tend to be better value for money than elsewhere, because they are furthest from the beach and have attracted fewer outside settlers, although this is now changing. Access to the capital, Palma, on the other hand, is excellent.
