Cala Fornells and Costa de la Calma: living next to Peguera
Two residential areas a few minutes from Peguera: Cala Fornells, with sea views and crystal-clear water, and Costa de la Calma, quiet and surrounded by pines.
Anyone looking for a home in Peguera usually ends up looking at its two closest neighbours as well: Cala Fornells to the west and Costa de la Calma to the east, on the way to Santa Ponsa. Both belong to the municipality of Calvià and share Peguera's services, but each has its own character.
Cala Fornells: sea views a short walk from Peguera
Cala Fornells is a small rocky cove with very clear water at the western end of Peguera. On the hillside above, Mediterranean-style apartments and houses step down the slope, with terraces facing the sea and the sunset. It is one of the areas most sought after by German buyers.
Highlights:
- Sea views from many homes.
- Swimming from rock platforms and paths through the pine woods.
- About a 15-minute walk to central Peguera, its beaches and restaurants.
Worth knowing:
- Steep streets and plenty of steps: important for year-round living or older residents.
- Limited parking in summer; a garage space adds real value.
- Homes with open sea views are among the most expensive in Peguera.
Costa de la Calma: peace among the pines
Costa de la Calma is a mainly residential area between Peguera and Santa Ponsa. It mixes villas with gardens, small apartment buildings and several sandy and rocky coves, with plenty of pine forest around.
Highlights:
- A quiet, family atmosphere, in winter too.
- Five minutes by car to the shops and services of Santa Ponsa and Peguera.
- Direct access to the motorway to Palma and the airport.
- More houses with plots than in central Peguera.
Worth knowing:
- There are few shops within the area itself, so you will need a car day to day.
- Front-line homes are scarce and sell quickly.
Which suits you?
- Sea views and everything on foot: Cala Fornells or central Peguera.
- A house with a garden and calm all year: Costa de la Calma.
- Planning to rent: check the holiday-rental rules first; both areas see strong demand for seasonal lets.
When comparing homes here, look at orientation (west-facing means sunsets, south-facing more winter light), how steep the access is, and the community fees, which rise with shared pools and gardens.
