The municipality consists of sixteen towns and some important resort areas, including s’Arenal and Cala Pí. Its central point is the historical town of Llucmajor that is also famous for the lively market and variety of useful shops.

Traditionally, Llucmajor’s economy was based on agriculture and craftsmanship (stone masonry, wood & iron). In the twentieth century, it also developed into an important manufacturing centre specializing in leather goods and footwear in particular.

The scenery of Llucmajor comprises mountains and cultivated fields with orange, lemon and olive groves. Here you’ll also find beautiful coves and cliffs with amazing coastline sea views.

Much of what the region has to offer ties closely with the rural Mallorcan way of life. The area provides relaxation and a variety of facilities for outdoor activities such as golf, hiking, cycling and water sports.

If you wish to relax the days away, the southern coast boasts many stunning calas with turquoise sea and sand or gravel beaches. Here, you’ll find S’Arenal, the last stretch of Playa de Palma, the sandy cove of Cala Pí and many rocky sea accesses.

Along the Llucmajor coastline, there are several sixteenth century defensive stone towers which now serve as excellent viewpoints. Some of the most well-preserved watch towers are found in the areas of Cala Pi, S´Estalella, and Cap Blanc.

In addition, the archaeological settlement of Capocorb Vell is one of the most important remains of the prehistoric settlements in the western Mediterranean.
