Mallorca

Palma

Palma is the capital of Majorca and the Balearic Islands. It is the eighth most populous city in Spain with around 500,000 inhabitants. Palma airport is a short taxi-ride away, and the commercial harbours and marinas are found in the city centre. Some well-known landmarks in the old town include the Cathedral, Almudaina palace and Arab baths. There is also a luxury shopping district on the streets of Paseo del Borne and Jaime III. The Santa Catalina district nightlife attracts visitors from its wide variety of bars, restaurants and shops. The weather in Palma de Mallorca is hot and dry for the majority of the year, making it a very desirable tourist destination. 

Southwest

Most of our luxury villas and penthouses in this region are newly built or fully renovated. With regard to property for sale in southwest Mallorca, the demand for apartments is much lower than for villas. As for countryside plots, there are only a few remaining options offering outstanding views. Therefore, developers tend to focus mainly on villas requiring renovation work. We offer luxury houses and villas for sale in the towns of Port d'AndratxNueva Santa Ponsa and Port Adriano. Closer to the capital city of Palma are the small towns of Bendinat and Portals, where we also have a selection of long term rentals and land for sale. This includes the inland village of Son Font. Luxury yacht services and yacht charter companies are available for those who enjoy the peace of the sea. This area is perfect for thrill-seekers, due to the number of water, nature and amusement parks. If you are looking for a family-friendly holiday, this is the place for you.

West

Mallorca's western region stretches from Puerto de Andratx to Pollensa. It is home to the Serra de Tramuntana mountain range, which was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2010. Small towns such as Estellencs, Esporles and Banyalbufar show a much more peaceful side to Mallorca. Here, harmony and nature come together. The waterfalls, pebble coves and valleys stretch down to the rocky coastline. Olive trees are also an important part of culture as they are significant to Mallorca's oil growth. You can find our luxury properties in the mountain town of Deià and in Valldemossa. This region has some of the best beaches and boutique hotels in west Mallorca.

North

The northern region boasts a beautiful coastline with pine woods and calm waters. Beyond the town of Can Picafort lies an unspoiled area with natural flora and fauna. We have luxury villas for sale in the idyllic towns of Colònia de Sant Pere, Cielo de Bonaire and Paraíso de Bonaire. There are residential developments between the bays of Alcúdia and Pollensa. In Pollensa's harbour, you will also find a number of luxury apartments for sale. Our spacious villas inland offer breathtaking views of the mountains. Another of the island’s most select areas is to be found in Formentor. Here, we have properties with direct access to the beach and panoramic views of the Mediterranean sea.

Northeast

The majority of hotels in the north of Mallorca are found in the northeast area, both coastal and countryside. Some long and luxurious beaches include Alcúdia, Costa de los Pinos, Playa de Muro and Can Picafort. There is also an area of untouched beaches, starting at Son Serra de Marina. The town of Colonia de Sant Pere is at the end of this stretch of coast with its beautiful marina. This area is well-known for the best restaurants of the northeast. It is also home to some of the best nudist beaches!

Southeast

This area stretches from Santanyí to the eastern side of Palma Bay, in the municipality of Llucmajor. The most luxurious properties for sale are to be found here. These are mainly country estates rather than grand villas in the town centre. Here you can choose from a wide selection of inland properties that come with flat solar panels for water supply. Ses Salines is another highly aspirational area. It is home to Mallorca's best beaches, including Es Trenc with its fine white sands and crystal-clear waters. There are also some famous nature reserves. These include the renovated marinas of Cala d'Or and Sa Ràpita which overlook the Cabrera collection of islands. Experience the fabulous sensation of owning a luxury home in the island's south-eastern region!

Centre

The central region is the largest in Mallorca, covering more than half of the island. Its charming towns, villages, vineyards and country estates make this a highly sought-after location for both investors and those wishing to settle inland. We offer luxury villas for sale in the towns of Alaró and Santa María. They stand far from the hustle and bustle, yet with easy access to the motorway. Most of our properties have a plot of more than 4,000m2, ideal for anyone looking for a peaceful life in the countryside.

Exclusive real estate as investment property in Mallorca

Mallorca's name comes from the Latin insula maior, and the later form, Maiorica. In 123 BC, the Romans founded a city called Palmaria in Mallorca. During the period of Muslim rule, it received the Arabic name of Madina Mayurqa. After James I of Aragon conquered the island in 1229, it came to be known as Ciutat de Mallorca (City of Mallorca).

From 1950, the island started to become a tourist destination. This surge, which took place between 1960 and 1970, saw the development of many Mallorca hotels and supporting industries.  Other footwear and agricultural industries are becoming less important as tourism is the real drive of the Balearic economy. Son Sant Joan airport has become Spain's third largest by number of passengers. Holidays to Mallorca are of easy access and it has many routes to Europe's leading cities. The number of private planes to the island has also increased a lot.

It is hard to find another tourist destination close to Europe's major cities that offers the same as Mallorca. This includes easy access to the airport and surrounding cities, through public and private travel. Mallorca also has a beautiful natural setting. Almost half of the island, 40%, is protected green areas, where building is controlled.

Mallorca has a Mediterranean climate. High temperatures in summer can reach over 30°c and it is still warm in all other seasons. Low temperatures in winter are rarely below 5 °c. 

The Sierra de Tramuntana protects the whole island from wind and bad weather. These mountains run from Port d'Andratx to Port Pollença and was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 2010. Its highest point is Puig Major at 1,342 metres. This is the part of Mallorca that is most protected from over-development. The Costa Nord foundation was founded by Michael Douglas, in order to protect and conserve the environment. This is based in the mountain region.
