Find your ideal home in and around Sineu with the real estate agents of Engel & Völkers Mallorca

In the very centre of the island, nestled in the rolling plains of the "Pla de Mallorca", we find the historic and noble village of Sineu. Sineu is a culturally rich municipality of around 4,000 inhabitants located in a strategic and well-connected area. It is situated approximately 30 minutes by car from Palma city and the international airport, and uniquely benefits from its own railway station, providing a direct and comfortable link to the capital. International schools are accessible within a short drive, as are the pristine beaches of Muro and Alcúdia. It is a town with a profound sense of history; once a royal residence and the capital of the interior under King Jaume II, it preserves an air of medieval grandeur that distinguishes it from other rural villages.

Sineu is not merely a residential location; it is a lifestyle choice for those seeking authenticity. Due to its vibrant community, it remains active all year round. It is world-renowned for its Wednesday market, the oldest and most traditional on the island (dating back to 1306), which transforms the town into a bustling hub of livestock, artisan crafts, and local produce. On its quaint streets, one finds architectural gems, from the imposing parish church of Santa Maria with its iconic bell tower to ancient manor houses. The village is also the gastronomic capital of the interior, famous for its cellers: historic wine cellars converted into traditional restaurants serving the finest Mallorcan cuisine.

Our clients love the relaxed lifestyle offered by the center of Mallorca.

The most sought-after properties in and around Sineu currently include, above all, rustic country estates (fincas) and renovated townhouses. The townhouses here are particularly prized for their historic character, often featuring stone arches, private interior courtyards, and old wine cellars, now modernized for contemporary living. The surrounding rural area offers magnificent fincas with extensive plots, ideal for those seeking privacy, silence, and open views across the cornfields and vineyards. This area attracts a diverse mix of international families, cyclists, and investors who value the "slow living" philosophy combined with the convenience of the train and central services.

Sites to be seen in the area include the Palau dels Reis de Mallorca (Palace of the Kings), a convent that stands as a testament to the village's royal past. For nature lovers, the flat and rolling terrain of the Pla de Mallorca offers some of the best cycling routes on the island, making Sineu a preferred base for professional and amateur cyclists alike.

There are various festivals and celebrations held during the year, most notably the Fira de Maig in May, a massive agricultural fair that attracts visitors from all over the island, and the solemn Easter processions, which are among the most significant in Mallorca.

Nearby villages include Costitx, Llubí, Maria de la Salut, Ariany, Petra, San Juan and Lloret de Vistalegre.
