SES SALINES TOWN PROPERTY GUIDE
Traditional rural town surrounded by spectacular beaches
Ses Salines is one of the nicest and oldest traditional villages in the south-eastern Mallorca. Located just 7km inland from the coast this small residential town enjoys its own quiet existence. The capital Palma and the Sant Joan International Airport are approximately 46 km east.
Why Ses Salines Town Property?
It is a charming place with the long straight streets built by Romans. Its centre contains some wonderful examples of traditional Catalan architecture, including historical Santanyi sandstone buildings glowing golden in the sun.
The hub of the town is the Plaza de Sant Bartomeu with the elegant parish church, dating back to the early 20th Century. Its spire has for centuries served as a reference point for sailors and fishermen working along the coast.
The village is a nice spot to spend time in the cosy bars and restaurants, where locals and visitors have their “café con leche” while enjoying the sun.
A small market of local produce is held in the town on Thursday’s morning and then again the next afternoon at the nearby Colonia de Sant Jordi. Same markets are also featured in nearby Campos (Thursdays and Saturdays), Santanyí (Wednesdays and Saturdays), and in Felanitx (Sundays).
The coastline around Ses Salines is surrounded by many beaches, boasting white sands and sheltered waters. There are some sandy spots a short stroll to the east, and the farther you go, the better the beaches become.
Less than 8 km away, you’ll find the island’s best, Es Carbó. The Spanish Royal family is said to come here if they want some relaxing beach time.
