South-west Mallorca
Exclusive luxury yachts in the marina, glorious beaches along the coast and idyllic old towns against a breathtaking backdrop: no wonder property in the south-west of Mallorca is so sought after. The region, which stretches from Andratx to Palma, has a great deal to offer. Whether you are looking for pure luxury or attractions for the whole family, on the mild coast of the island and in the traditional hinterland everyone finds exactly what they are looking for. If you would like to buy a house on the Spanish island, the south-west with its international character is a promising option.
Are you looking instead for a luxury home among an upmarket clientele? Then you should buy a house in Son Vida. Traditional fincas or houses by the beach, on the other hand, are what you will find if you buy a house in Santanyí.

Life on the coast

From glorious beaches to mountain landscapes
As regards nature, the south-west of the island has a great deal to offer. Here you have the choice every day between the coast with its beautiful sandy beaches and small coves and the gently rising Tramuntana mountains. Alongside numerous walking and cycling routes, breathtaking views of the blue and turquoise shimmering sea await you.
Shopping and the marina
If you are looking for luxury and exclusive experiences, a stroll around marinas such as Puerto Portals or Port d’Andratx is worthwhile. Here you will find genuine hotspots for glamour, shopping and fine dining. You can charter a yacht or unwind with a treatment in an exclusive spa.
Everyday needs, schools and transport
If you acquire a property in the south-west of Mallorca you are moving to a region that is a pleasure to live in. You will be among expatriates from Germany, Britain and Scandinavia and benefit from short journeys to all your everyday destinations — whether you are taking your children to one of the international nurseries and schools nearby or want to shop in the centre of Palma. Golf is also possible at any time of year on various courses if you buy a house in the south-west of Mallorca. Do you travel a good deal for appointments in Europe and the rest of the world?

Experts assume that prices for property in south-west Mallorca will continue to rise. Because of the strong demand the increase in 2025 is expected to be around seven to ten per cent. Bear in mind that you also have to fund the taxes and purchase costs yourself. Otherwise you may not obtain property financing in Spain.
Important to know: prices for property in the south-west of Mallorca depend on numerous factors. Besides the location, the fittings, the size and the condition also play an important part.
If you would like something more exclusive, you can buy a house in Son Vida, on the edge of Palma. If you are looking for more affordable offers, you will find property in Santanyí and the surrounding area for under a million euros as well. Here it is worth combing through the relevant property portals.
Properties with potential
Property for letting
If you buy a house in south-west Mallorca, letting to holiday guests is worthwhile too. Thanks to the mild climate they come to the region all year round and pay from 3,000 to over 10,000 euros a week. The clientele includes well-off holidaymakers, retired people and golfers, who usually book the available properties out completely in season. Are you planning to spend part of the year on the island? Then a combination of letting and personal use is worthwhile.
It is essential, however, that you buy a house with a rental licence. The coveted ETV licences required for lawful letting are no longer being issued by the authorities on the island for the time being. One reason is the overtourism that the Balearic Islands have to reduce.
