Things to do in Son Servera

A Llevant town with Cala Millor, Cala Bona and Costa dels Pins: long beaches, golf and a square full of terraces.

Son Servera: the essentials

  1. The roofless Església Nova

    Joan Rubió designed this neo-Gothic church in the early 20th century and it was never finished: arches, columns and rose windows open to the sky. Today it hosts concerts and events, and outdoor masses in summer.

  2. Friday market in the square

    Every Friday morning, all year round, there is a market in the centre of town, around Plaça de Sant Joan. Locals mix with people coming up from Cala Millor and Cala Bona.

  3. Cala Bona's fishing harbour

    Cala Bona keeps its small harbour with fishing boats and a seafront promenade. From here a cycle and walking route follows the coast north towards Costa dels Pins.

  4. Costa dels Pins and Es Ribell beach

    North of Cala Bona, Costa dels Pins has rocks and pines almost down to the water, good for snorkelling. A short walk takes you to Es Ribell, a natural beach with no buildings.

  5. Climb the Puig de sa Font

    A hill next to town with views over the bay of Cala Millor and, on clear days, Menorca on the horizon. Go early or late in the afternoon, when the sun is gentler.

  6. Cycle the Vía Verde

    The Vía Verde from Manacor to Artà follows the old railway line and has a stop at Son Servera. It is flat and car-free, an easy ride towards Artà or Sant Llorenç.

  7. Tapas on the village square

    For a village-style meal, a terrace on the square serving Mallorcan tapas. It is a change from the coast restaurants and stays open when Cala Millor shuts for winter.

Son Servera is a Llevant town with a coastline facing east, towards Menorca. In town, the most striking sight is the Església Nova: a neo-Gothic church designed by Joan Rubió, a disciple of Gaudí, which was never finished and has no roof, its arches and rose windows open to the sky; today it hosts concerts and events. Around it, the square has terraces like La placita for tapas in the shade.

Down on the coast, Cala Bona keeps its small fishing harbour, Cala Millor (shared with Sant Llorenç) has one of the longest sandy beaches in the area, and Platja de Sa Marjal and the Costa dels Pins are quieter, with pines almost down to the water. For a walk, the Puig de sa Font gives views over the bay. It is golf country too, with Pula Golf and Golf Son Servera a few minutes from town. A comfortable place for anyone who wants an easy beach, flat walks and a real town close by.

Getting there

From Palma or the airport it is a little over an hour by car on the Ma-15 towards Manacor and then on to the coast. TIB buses link Palma's Estació Intermodal with Cala Millor and Cala Bona. Parking is easy in town; on the coast in summer, spaces near the beach are harder to find.

When to go

May to October for the beach, and spring and autumn for golf and walking, once the heat eases. The market is on Friday morning in town. In winter most of the hotels and restaurants in Cala Millor close, while the town carries on with normal life.
