Felanitx’s economy has traditionally been based on agriculture, with a focus on vineyards, almond groves, and olive oil production. The area is famous for its wine, particularly the local variety known as Vi de la Terra, which is produced in the nearby Pla i Llevant wine region. Several wineries in the area offer tastings and tours, providing visitors with a chance to experience the local flavors and traditions of winemaking.
Tourism has also become an increasingly important part of the local economy, with visitors drawn to the town’s historical attractions, cultural festivals, and natural beauty. Additionally, pottery and ceramics have long been a key industry in Felanitx, with local artisans continuing to produce traditional hand-crafted items that are sold throughout the region.
The agricultural heritage of the town, combined with its growing tourism industry, has created a vibrant local economy that is still deeply connected to the land. Many small family-run businesses thrive in Felanitx, from local farmers selling produce at weekly markets to boutique hotels and restaurants that cater to the increasing number of tourists.
