Esporles is a municipality in Mallorca in the Balearic Islands, Spain. Situated around the zone of the Serra de Tramuntana, it is located approximately 15 kilometres (9 mi) from Palma de Mallorca. The town is divided into Vilavella and Vilanova. It also includes small developments, such as Ses Rotgetes de Canet y Es Verger.
Its economy was traditionally based on agriculture and animal husbandry, which is displayed at the rural estate museum La Granja. Tourism, like in most of the Balearic Islands, is now the base of its economy. The textile industry was historically very important economically, but in the present day, only traces of the factories remain. Some to this day remain empty but most have been transformed into housing. One of the biggest factories was turned into the local library Sa Fabrica, which opened in 2010.
