Living in Mallorca: All the benefits of buying a property at a glance

Mallorca, the largest of the Balearic Islands, is known as the feel-good oasis of the Mediterranean. Around 170 kilometres east of the Spanish mainland, you can find a magnitude of features in Mallorca, which make living there a pleasure. The sun shines on more than 300 days of the year, there are delightful Mediterranean temperatures for most of the year and with more than 200 beaches, buying a flat, a house or a luxury property in Mallorca is interesting for anyone desiring idyllic surroundings full of variety and ever new inspiration. 

Maintaining regional traditions and customs plays an important roll in Mallorca, which is hardly surprising, as the island’s history goes back centuries and has seen various cultural influences. If you buy a finca in Mallorca, you will still experience the unique and authentic identity in the fascinating way of life in many places: the numerous festivals and colourful parades, which regularly take place in some parts of the island, bear witness to this and highlight Mallorca’s originality. Primarily in countryside regions, small towns and villages in most parts of Mallorca, there are weekly markets where you are able to buy fruit, vegetables, meat and fish as well as other local produce – it’s hardly possible to find fresher food for the kitchen in your villa or house! 

At the same time, Mallorca has a rich culinary culture, which is maintained by a series of first-rate restaurants serving local and international cuisine across the whole island – also near to you if you buy a property in Mallorca. There are even 9 restaurateurs, who have been awarded with Michelin Stars! At Engel & Völkers, we have comprised an overview of the best restaurants in Mallorca for you!

In connection with buying and selling properties, Mallorca is acknowledged worldwide for its excellent sports and leisure opportunities due to which no two days are alike. There is a network of more than 400 kilometres of hiking trails across the whole island, which enable you to hike through impressive scenery on routes with varying degrees of difficulty. The 1,250 kilometres of cycle paths both on tarmac and cross-country are equally popular – thanks to the diverse terrain and various gradients, Mallorca has become the place for training camps for many successful cycling teams. 

Despite the rural impression made by many places, Mallorca has a well-developed infrastructure. This makes living in a flat, house or villa not only harmonious, but also comfortable and functional. In many property locations, you are able to buy the basic necessities in the local shops. If you take a trip to Palma de Mallorca, you can buy anything else you might need in its shopping streets, boutiques and flagship stores.
