Mallorca’s real estate market is a reliable partner in stormy times
Mallorca is a fantastic island with a versatile landscape that is hard to match. Over the years, the island has always attracted big names in the world of culture and media. Adapting to modern trends a cultural shift has taken place and Mallorca now also hosts mega yachts and famous faces of all walks of life. Just to name two: Michael Douglas and Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber both own gorgeous properties here; European royals regularly visit and also contribute to the island’s ever increasing popularity.
Mallorca has certainly proved to be the location for a solid property investment and has so successfully fended of the worst of the Spanish economic crisis. Directors of the island’s major real estate agencies agree: over on the mainland, some properties are selling but only albeit sluggishly and at much lower prices that before Spain’s economy got into trouble. On the other hand, the popularity of Mallorca properties for sale is exceeding expectations and the island did not make the same mistakes as far as excessive construction is concerned as were committed on the mainland.
Wealthy and famous people have always been attracted to the island, expats wanting to better their personal lifestyle
The south-west is definitely the equivalent to Kensington and Chelsea on Mallorca with prices of villas or penthouses for sale that can easily compete with the UK capital. Nevertheless, the south-west attracts many foreigners, the majority being British; these residents like to be close to the island’s cosmopolitan capital Palma which offers a great selection of top restaurants and shopping malls. Foreigners who purchase a villa or an apartment in the south-west are looking for a change in their personal lifestyle before thinking about investment options.
Buyers with endless funds are tempted about 20km away from Palma where the south-west coast beckons, with villas for sale like the stunning five-bedroom one with sea views in Puerto Andratx pictured above. It oozes opulent luxury, listed for sale at €9.8 million. More info about this Villa for sale in Andratx
