If you are looking for property for sale in Sineu or considering buying real estate in the heart of Mallorca, Engel & Völkers Mallorca is your trusted local partner. Our experienced team offers expert guidance for buyers, sellers and investors seeking authentic properties in one of the island’s most culturally rich municipalities.

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. This rare railway connection significantly increases the appeal of real estate in Sineu for both permanent residents and second-home buyers.

International schools are accessible within a short drive, as are the pristine beaches of Muro and Alcúdia. For those wishing to buy property in Central Mallorca, Sineu offers the perfect balance between rural tranquility and accessibility.

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. This historical prestige enhances the long-term value of property in the area.

Authentic Living in the Heart of Mallorca

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 — a key factor for international buyers searching for year-round infrastructure rather than seasonal tourism.

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. The weekly market is a major cultural attraction and reinforces Sineu’s reputation as one of the most authentic villages in Mallorca.

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 considered the gastronomic capital of the interior, famous for its traditional cellers — historic wine cellars converted into restaurants serving authentic Mallorcan cuisine.

Our clients consistently highlight the relaxed lifestyle and strong sense of community offered by the centre of Mallorca.
