Nestled at the foothills of the Serra de Tramuntana, the charming village of Caimari is one of Mallorca’s hidden gems. With a population of just around one thousand residents, it has become a highly desirable place for those seeking an authentic rural lifestyle without giving up modern comforts.
A village full of Mallorcan character
Caimari is known for its beautifully preserved stone houses, narrow streets, and peaceful atmosphere. Life moves slowly here, and every corner reflects the traditional Mediterranean way of living. The village offers everyday essentials: small local shops, cafés, restaurants, a pharmacy, and a school.
Just five minutes away, the town of Inca provides access to a wide range of services—supermarkets, healthcare centers, retail stores, and weekly markets.

A paradise for cyclists and nature lovers
Caimari is a favorite starting point for cyclists thanks to its direct access to Lluc, one of the most iconic routes in Mallorca. The road that leads up to the Lluc Monastery is legendary among professionals and cycling enthusiasts alike.
For nature lovers, living in Caimari means being surrounded by centuries-old olive groves, hiking trails, and rural paths bordered by traditional stone walls recognized by UNESCO.
Olive oil tradition: the soul of Caimari
The historic Tafona de Caimari, a traditional olive oil mill, remains one of the village’s most iconic landmarks. During the annual Olive Fair, visitors flock to the village to celebrate its deep-rooted olive-growing culture with tastings, local products, and artisan markets.
Boutique rural tourism
In recent years, Caimari has become a high-quality rural tourism destination, with charming boutique hotels and agrotourism stays. This has attracted international visitors—and many have chosen to make Caimari their permanent home for its peaceful environment and connection with nature.
Well connected and surrounded by history
Caimari’s strategic location in central Mallorca places it close to:
Lluc Monastery
Binibona, a tiny rural hamlet
Selva and Mancor de la Vall
Inca, famous for its leather craftsmanship
Beaches like Pollença, Alcúdia, and Playa de Muro are only 30 minutes away, making it ideal for those who want both mountain and sea.
Living in Caimari: quality of life at its best
Caimari offers a unique lifestyle defined by peace, authenticity, and natural beauty. Whether as a primary residence or a second home, this village is perfect for those seeking to reconnect with nature and enjoy the real Mallorca.
