Santa Margalida is a municipality that stretches from the fertile agricultural plains of the island's interior to the magnificent Bay of AlcĂșdia. It is made up of three distinct centres of life: the historic town of Santa Margalida, perched on a hill a few kilometres from the coast; the large and popular seaside resort of Can Picafort; and the quieter, more natural coastal village of Son Serra de Marina, a popular spot for water sports.
The municipality's main asset is its incredible diversity, which means you can choose a lifestyle to suit you. The coast boasts miles of fine sandy beaches, including the famous Playa de Muro, renowned for its shallow turquoise waters. The Mediterranean climate is perfect, with long, sunny summers and mild winters. The hinterland is rural and authentic, offering excellent value for money just minutes from the sea.
The lifestyle in Santa Margalida is a real 'Ă la carte' experience. At Can Picafort, the atmosphere is that of a lively family resort, with a long promenade lined with restaurants, bars and shops. At Son Serra de Marina, the atmosphere is more relaxed, sporty and bohemian, popular with surfers and those seeking a connection with a wilder natural world. In the village of Santa Margalida, life is peaceful, traditional and rooted in Mallorcan culture. This variety makes it an ideal place for families, sports enthusiasts, authenticity seekers and investors.
For foreign buyers, the municipality of Santa Margalida offers many advantages. The main one is flexibility: you can buy a spacious town house at a very competitive price in Santa Margalida, or opt for a holiday flat with great rental potential in Can Picafort. The coast's extensive tourist infrastructure means that services are plentiful and tailored to an international clientele, especially German and British speakers. Access to Palma and the airport is easy, via a good road network.
However, there are two things to bear in mind. Can Picafort is a very seasonal resort; it is extremely lively and busy in summer, but becomes very quiet in winter, when many shops and restaurants close. What's more, as with other towns in the north-east of the island, it takes around 45-50 minutes to drive to the capital, Palma, and its airport.
In short, whether you're looking for the excitement of a large beach, the tranquillity of a wild coastline or the charm of a traditional village, Santa Margalida has it all.
