Banyalbufar: Location and surroundings of this property

Banyalbufar is a charming small village located in the Tramuntana mountain range, just a 35-minute drive from Palma. Its name combines influences from both Arabic and Catalan, meaning "nestled in the sea." The origins of Banyalbufar date back to the 10th century when it was inhabited by Arabs. The 13th century and the arrival of the conquest turned this mountain village into a significant place for wine lovers, as this was when they began cultivating Malvasia, a grape variety especially prized by King Jaume I. The medieval spirit is evident in every corner of Banyalbufar. The Torre de Ses Ánimes (The Tower of Souls) is a coastal watchtower dating from the 17th century, built to ward off pirates, and along with traditional Mallorcan architecture, it makes you feel part of a fairy tale. Banyalbufar is an ideal place not only for history enthusiasts but also for hikers. The village offers various trails for all tastes. One of the most recommended is the hiking route that connects Banyalbufar with the fishing port of Port des Canonge, passing through a beautiful path filled with pine forests and rock formations. Thanks to its elevated position on the mountainside, Banyalbufar offers breathtaking views and unforgettable sunsets. Down the road, you can reach Cala de Banyalbufar, a beautiful beach with crystal-clear waters that will be a highlight for sea lovers. Mountains, sea, and medieval architecture make this place, free from mass tourism, a peaceful oasis for those looking to escape the stress of daily life.
