Real Estate in Puigpunyent and Galilea

The picturesque mountain village Puigpunyent sits at the foot of the Tramuntana Mountains to the northwest of the Balearic capital Palma de Mallorca.

From Palma, it is a comfortable 20-minute drive through pine and evergreen oak forests and past olive, almond, orange and carob groves.

Puigpunyent´s valley is believed to have been one of the first inhabited areas on the island. This is apparent with the number of historical sites in its proximity, including the famed former country mansion turned luxury hotel Gran Hotel Son Net.

The picturesque village of Galilea slumbers in the sunshine under the mythical Galatzó Mountain and is part of the UNESCO Sierra de Tramuntana world heritage site. Situated at an altitude of 460 meters, it belongs to the municipality of Puigpunyent.

Offering the basic necessities, it is the perfect place to relax in the sunshine or eat tapas in the village square while taking in the mountain and distant sea views.

​"Frequented by just a few tourists, Galilea is a privileged spot away from the stress of modern life, with a spectacular view over the Calvià coast, fresh mountain air and peaceful streets."

The traditional houses in Galilea are all constructed around the Immaculada Concepció church, which was built in 1810. The views and tranquillity everywhere are impressive features of this tiny, sleepy village.

The mountain roads can be a challenge during the winter months which means that properties in Galilea are a little more affordable than in other villages nearby. Although beautifully remote, Galilea is not far from all daily amenities and the beaches around Calviá can be reached in 30 minutes, Palma and the airport are 20 km away.
