A country town at the foot of Puig de sa Font, behind it the coastline from Cala Bona to Costa de los Pinos — the quietest villa enclave of the northeast, where the road ends at the golf course.

Son Servera is often overlooked because its coast is better known than the town: everyone knows Cala Millor and Cala Bona, hardly anyone the town behind them. Yet that is precisely the structure of this municipality — a town with everyday life inland, a busy coastline in front of it, and at the end of the bay a villa enclave that has nothing to do with either.
Son Servera sits at the foot of Puig de sa Font, a few kilometres behind the coast. The town lives its own life: shops, schools, a weekly market — everyday routine rather than seasonal trade. Its most striking building is the Església Nova, a church begun in the early 20th century and never finished, whose open shell now serves as an events venue — you stand in the nave and see the sky.
What sells in the town are mainly townhouses and houses with gardens — at prices noticeably below the coastal strip, because the sea view is missing. For anyone looking for a real town with a short drive to the water, that is the equation worth knowing.
Cala Bona is the smaller, older part of the coast — grown around a little harbour, with a promenade running south. Cala Millor adjoins it and is the bay’s tourist centre; its northern part belongs to the municipality of Son Servera, the southern part already to the neighbouring municipality. For that location in detail, see our own Cala Millor page.
At the northern end of the bay lies the location for which many buyers first learn the name Son Servera at all: Costa de los Pinos. A villa enclave under old pines, on the slope towards the sea — and, in traffic terms, a dead end: the road stops here, so there is no through traffic.
Right beside it lies the Son Servera golf course, founded in 1967 and thus one of the oldest on the island. The combination of pines, sea, golf and quiet has kept the enclave a steady, discreet circle of buyers for decades. Supply is small, plots are generous, and sales often happen quietly.
The municipality of Son Servera had 11,752 registered residents in 2022, against 12,195 in 2011 — a decline of four percent. The movement in the registered foreign population is starker: 3,365 people in 2011, 2,074 today — almost forty percent fewer. It is the same post-crisis trace as in the neighbouring municipalities, more pronounced here.
The figures come from the Padrón Continuo and count registered residents — second homes do not appear in them. On the Costa de los Pinos especially, the share of second homes is high; the statistics describe the municipality, not this market.
From our office in Cala Ratjada, Son Servera is around twenty minutes by car — the municipality is part of our daily radius in the northeast. What clients ask us for are two very different things: houses in the town for buyers who want to live here permanently, and villas on the Costa de los Pinos — a small, discreet market in which much changes hands without ever having been listed.
New ETV licences are not currently being issued on Mallorca. What matters is therefore not the location but whether the individual property carries an existing one. Every property of ours states it in the key facts.
