Winter on Mallorca: you have the beaches all to yourself
Mallorca: the word instantly brings up visions of deep blue, crystal clear water, long golden sandy beaches loaded with tanned bodies, gleaming luxury yachts, a breath-taking landscape, a brilliant blue sky and, of course, sunshine and nothing but! During the past few weeks, the tourist industry has gone into almost melt-down for this year and with it, the trappings of holidaymakers have disappeared off the island beaches. Owners of villas or apartments for sale in Puerto Pollensa or Alcudia on the gorgeous beaches here in the north, are amazed about the visible beach dimensions now that the cluttering sun beds and parasols have gone. Island residents can at last enjoy long strolls by the sea on the golden sand and enjoy the winter sun.
Winter on Mallorca: you enjoy village life
Mallorca also works its magic during these winter months, a different magic but a very special one that insiders and true island lovers appreciate. The island casts a cosy spell over visitors and town houses in Pollensa are the perfect winter retreat, log fires together with central heating in these modernised, traditional houses create a wonderful ambient from where to go out and discover places on the island you still have not visited http://www.balearic-properties.com/en/property/id/693324-House-Pollensa-Mallorca.html During the summer everyone lives outdoors in gardens, patios and pools, the winter brings out the snug, curl-up side of these Mallorca houses for sale and many delighted owners make the most of their Pollensa properties by spending long periods of time on the island. These months bring the communities together, no tourists in town and so the bars and restaurants become the meeting places of the locals once again.
Mallorca winter-wonderland stands for a special time of year yet to be appreciated by more people; the island has much more to offer than just beach life.
Winter on Mallorca: Palma the fashionistas’ sunshine shopping haven
Palma is as busy as ever during the winter months, the numerous designer boutiques and shopping malls in town are displaying the latest “must-buys”, even though fashion over here is somewhat lightweight as the temperatures are not as harsh as in northern regions of Europe. Admittedly, shopping winter gear in the sunshine seems still quite weird to many, however the pleasure of sipping a coffee or a glass of wine in a street café in the city, or even having lunch on a terrace overlooking the sea is very much après shopping!
An apartment or a trendy town house for sale in Palma is just the perfect bolthole for fans of urban life, swapping London or Berlin for a week or two in town is becoming all the latest rage and it is so easy to commute. During the winter months Palma shows visitors that it has a lot more to offer, than fabulous shopping facilities and it becomes clear just why this exciting city is the number one in the Mediterranean.
Discovering that Palma has fantastic art galleries, emblematic and historic buildings to admire, numerous concerts and events to visit is an additional experience that should not be missed.
And just like in the villages, bars and restaurants near your Palma property are now the places to meet neighbours and fellow residents – no need to book a table in your favourite haunt either during the winter!
Winter on Mallorca: the opportunity to adjust to a different, relaxing pace
The island is pure joy for nature lovers! It offers all imaginable landscapes and no wonder that many famous artists found their ultimate inspiration and boosted their creativity whilst living here. The peaceful countryside is the perfect location for people who appreciate the need to wind down and enjoy life at a more relaxed pace. Spending just a few days in such a country haven, like the gorgeous, traditional finca for sale in Pollensa pictured above and listening to the “humming and buzzing” of nature is a delight for career-weary property owners. The quality of country life in the sunshine is hard to beat, where can you go for extensive hikes without an umbrella in the winter – or even feel the need to unpeel some layers of clothing whilst you pick flowers for your table decoration that even have an authentic scent!
