Mallorca has long been a popular destination to buy property. The island’s capital city of Palma de Mallorca and the small town and countryside around it are an idyllic location for owning a property, whether it’s a large Finca or just a small apartment.
Because of the popularity of the Balearic islands, particularly Mallorca it’s largest island, prices are relatively high here and so if you are looking for a cheap investment or holiday home this probably isn’t the place to buy.
Mallorca has a mixture of beaches that are either small coves or longer sandy bays that are perfect for families. Prices for beach-side villas and apartments can be extremely high and Mallorca has some rich and famous residents to go with the price tag.
The landscape of Mallorca has a bit of everything from the Serra Tramunta mountain range on the west coast and further east the Sierra de Levante mountains, to the flat plains of central Mallorca. The central part of the island is where most of the agriculture takes place. Here you can find Olive trees, almond trees and fertile land for farming.
The central area is where old Finca’s can be found, some that have been renovated and turned into much larger villas which are rented out to holiday makers and others where locals live all year round.
Palma de Mallorca
Mallorca’s capital Palma de Mallorca is in the southwest of the Island. It has an impressive Cathedral which is difficult to miss called Palma Cathedral, La Seu. Palma has old town houses and narrow streets which gives it a character and feel that is refreshing from the holiday style of property in other parts of the island. In Palma you won’t escape the tourists but you will get a feel for life that goes on in Mallorca away from just serving tourism.
Boat owners and lovers will be able to view boats large and small in the Club der Mar Marina in Mallorca. This can often be full of visiting boats in the peak season and can be quite a sight.
Palma also has some good nightlife and bars that are seemingly undiscovered by tourists.
