Puigpunyent is located in a valley of the same name. It is a small town surrounded by the Puig de Galatzó, Mola de la Planícia, and Fita des Ram mountains which range from 833 metres to 1035 in height. The area is heavily forested, mostly with pine but also some old oak trees. It is without doubt an area of exceptional beauty.
Aside from the scenery the key attractions of Puigpunyent to property buyers are its proximity to Palma and the unspoiled traditional nature of the town. Puigpunyent is a friendly and tight-nit community with a mixture of local farm workers and people who commute daily to Palma and other larger towns on the southwest coast.
The church of la Assumpció de la Mare de Déu is the main architectural attraction and there are many pretty stone cottages in the town and dotted around the surrounding mountains. Overlooking the town is the luxurious 5 star Gran Hotel Son Net, one of the most well-known and highly reputed hotels in Mallorca.
Puigpunyent is not a major tourist destination and for those that visit or buy homes here this is undoubtedly a major part of the attraction. Other beautiful mountain towns such as Esporles and Bunyola are within easy reach making this a great location for walkers and cyclists.
For days out by the sea, golfing or participating in other leisure pursuits, the resorts of the southwest coast of Mallorca are also within easy reach. Furthermore the capital Palma de Mallorca is just 15 to 20 minutes away by car making this an unusually convenient place to reach for such a mountain location.
