Esment

Languages: Catalan, English, Spanish

A little more inclusion. A lot more possibility.

Some organisations make a difference. Others change the way we think about what a community can be. Esment does both.

Rooted in Mallorca, Esment is a social organisation dedicated to supporting people who face additional challenges, creating opportunities for them to live fulfilling, independent lives while building a more inclusive society.

But what makes Esment particularly special is how its mission comes to life across the island.

From welcoming cafés and artisan bakeries to organic wines, locally made products, creative workshops and beautiful event spaces, Esment brings together social impact, local craftsmanship and genuinely good experiences.

Discover their cafés in Palma, Palmanova and Inca, pick up something delicious at Can Pa in Gomila, enjoy a wine tasting or workshop at Casa Esment, or explore their range of locally produced gifts.

Behind every initiative is the same belief: everyone deserves opportunities, dignity and a place in our community.

Why we’re supporting Esment

At The Calendar Mallorca, we believe that discovering the best of our island also means celebrating the people and organisations making it a better place.

Esment represents so much of what we love about Mallorca: community, creativity, local talent and people coming together to make a difference.

That’s why we’re proud to give Esment a place on The IT List and help more people discover, experience and support the incredible work they do.

Because supporting a good cause doesn’t always have to mean making a donation. Sometimes, it’s as simple as choosing where to have your morning coffee, buying a thoughtful gift or booking your next team event.

And when those everyday choices help create opportunities for others? Even better.

A Little History. A Lot of Heart.

It all started in Mallorca in 1962, when a group of families came together with one simple but powerful belief: their children with intellectual disabilities deserved the same opportunities, dignity and quality of life as everyone else.

What began as a small, family-led initiative called Amadip has grown into one of the island’s most inspiring social organisations.

Over the past six decades, Esment has evolved far beyond traditional social support, creating opportunities through education, employment, housing and a whole family of businesses. From its pioneering Cafè Es Pes de sa Palla, which opened in 1996, to today’s bakeries, wineries, workshops and professional services, Esment has made inclusion part of everyday life in Mallorca.

And the name? Esment is a beautiful local word associated with care, attention and doing things thoughtfully.

More than 60 years later, the mission remains the same: building a Mallorca where everyone has the opportunity to enjoy a good life.

A personal note from Nina, founder of The Calendar Mallorca

“One of the things I love most about Mallorca is the sense of community, and Esment is such a wonderful example of what that can look like in practice. I love that their work goes far beyond raising awareness. They’re creating real opportunities, beautiful products and experiences that bring people together.

I’m genuinely happy that we can use The Calendar Mallorca to give organisations like Esment more visibility. Because the best things about this island aren’t always places. Sometimes, they’re the people making a difference.”
