BY IRIS GRÜNEWALD of Balearic Properties
Discover why Pollensa, Port Andratx, and Palma remain top spots for buyers in Mallorca as Founder of Balearic Properties Iris Grünewald shares her expert insights. Explore her favourite properties and learn what makes these destinations so appealing for those seeking property in Mallorca.
For as long as I can remember, there have been three destinations that have consistently stood out as favorites among property buyers here: Pollensa, Palma, and the South West, particularly Andratx. Looking back at enquiries stretching even 10 years ago - these are the areas attracting all the interest.
Palma is and always will be a classic choice for investment. Its historic charm and lively atmosphere make it a popular spot. The Old Town, with its narrow streets and historic buildings, is particularly sought after. Apart from specific neighborhoods, it’s essential to keep an eye on Palma’s ongoing urban regeneration projects. The city is investing in transforming former industrial areas, such as El Jonquet, into vibrant residential and commercial zones. These projects not only contribute to Palma’s revitalisation but also offer lucrative investment potential as the city expands and evolves. With its plethora of cultural and culinary delights, Palma offers a rich tapestry of experiences for residents and visitors alike.
Port Andratx is where luxury meets exclusivity. This coastal village on the southwest coast boasts some of the island's most lavish properties and its picturesque marina, upscale boutiques and fine dining options are perfect for those seeking something very special. The demand for premium properties in this area continues to soar, making it an attractive option for investors looking to indulge in a lavish Mediterranean lifestyle.

Then there's Pollensa, nestled inland amidst the mountains. It's a peaceful retreat with beautiful scenery. Whether you're looking for a townhouse with original features or a sprawling finca surrounded by emerald farmland, Pollensa has something for everyone. The town's proximity to scenic hiking and cycling routes further enhances its appeal, offering residents the opportunity to immerse themselves in Mallorca's breathtaking landscapes. Whether you're considering purchasing an old property for renovation, building from the ground up, or investing in rental opportunities, Pollensa offers tremendous investment potential. Despite fluctuations in the Spanish property market, investing in real estate in Pollensa, whether for a second home or not, brings the added benefit of being able to offset expenses by renting out your property at lucrative rates throughout the year.
What makes these areas special is not just their beauty, but also the sense of community they offer. Whether you're drawn to the cosmopolitan vibe of Palma, the luxury of Port Andratx, or the tranquility of Pollensa, each destination has its own unique appeal, making it easy to find your perfect slice of paradise. For those looking for some breathtaking investment opportunities, these are my pick of the best:
