There is no central town in the municipality; instead, it is an agglomeration of the villages of Pont d'Inca (16,518), Pla de na Tesa (3,304), Pòrtol[3] (2,640) and Sa Cabaneta[3] (5,748) - where the district council buildings are located.
The local economy is dominated by agriculture; however, significant employment is provided by traditional pottery manufacture and the large shopping complex at Pont d’Inca.
Marratxí's population has increased rapidly since the mid-1990s due to the proliferation of new developments around the historical villages, since the municipality has good road—and to a lesser extent rail—links to nearby Palma.

Marratxí Church dates to the early 18th century, built during the Cotoner era.[4][5] The Caulles Festival Park lies to the south.
