Mallorca, Balearic Islands
Artà
An authentic market town crowned by a fortified sanctuary, deep in Mallorca’s unspoilt northeast.
A genuine Mallorca town
Life beneath the sanctuary
Artà is one of the most genuinely Mallorcan towns on the island — a place where the weekly market still draws locals from across the region, where the streets are largely free of tourist shops, and where the pace of life feels authentically Mediterranean.
Santuari de Sant Salvador
The fortified sanctuary crowns the hilltop above town, with ramparts offering sweeping views across the Llevant hills to the sea.
A town with character
Stone streets, independent shops and a lively Tuesday market make Artà an ideal base for discovering Mallorca’s quieter northeast.
