Best of Mallorca: Santanyì

Updated June 2025
Santanyí feels nicely balanced:
A bi-weekly market, excellent restaurants, cute shops + some of the island’s most beautiful beaches only a 10-15 minute drive from town.
A charming town designed for pedestrians, park on the outskirts, and stroll into the centre of town.
Santanyí Market days are Wednesdays and Saturdays from 9am - 2pm. Here, you will find both produce + artisan goods.
