Son Servera area guide: things to do, local history and walks
Start at Son Servera’s open-roofed Església Nova, then follow the coast towards Cala Bona or Costa dels Pins. If the group would rather pedal than paddle, there’s always the Via Verda.
What to see and how to plan your visit
Start at the Església Nova in the inland town and check visiting hours. Make the coast a separate outing, with Cala Bona and Cala Millor offering different stops.
Local history and heritage
The unfinished Església Nova, open to the sky, is a distinctive example of the municipality’s architectural heritage. The former railway offers another way to see how the area once connected to other towns.
Suggested walk or outdoor visit
Choose a section of the Manacor–Artà Via Verda starting in Son Servera and plan a turn-back point or return transport.
Regular markets
Friday mornings around Plaça de Sant Joan and the adjoining streets in Son Servera town.
What makes this area special
The open-roofed church is the inland town’s signature sight. The coast and the former railway offer different ways to explore the municipality.

Beaches and swimming spots
- Cala Bona. A harbour and promenade stop with smaller beach areas. A good option if lunch and a walk are part of the plan.
- Cala Millor. Choose the long sandy bay when beach time is the main event. It is shared with Sant Llorenç, so check the access point you need.
- Costa dels Pins. A separate coastal stop north of Cala Bona. Check the facilities at the part of the shore you have in mind.
Check the flag and current conditions on the day. If you need step-free access or specific facilities, use the linked beach information to pick your entrance.
Before you go, see our Mallorca beach etiquette and safety guide for swimming flags, Blue Flag beaches and what to do in an emergency.
For sunrise without a climb, start on the Cala Millor promenade and look out across the bay. See more sunrise and sunset spots around Mallorca.
What to eat here
Try almond cake with coffee, or look for almond products if you’re visiting around the blossom fair. For lunch by the water, Cala Bona is an easy harbour stop.
Good to know before you go
Cala Millor crosses the municipal boundary. Use the exact beach access or promenade stop if you’re checking parking, buses or seasonal services.
