Why buy a front-line property in Mallorca North?

If your dream is to own a home directly overlooking the glittering Mediterranean Sea, the experts at Engel & Völkers Mallorca North recommend that you don’t wait too long.

Offering an exceptionally high quality of life, the Mallorca North region is the perfect destination to buy a seafront property. In this busy and non-stop world, there is no better place to switch off than having your own perfect frontline villa or apartment to escape to where you can wake up to the sound of waves rolling onto the beach and the sight of the sea stretching out to the horizon.

The reasons why now is the time to buy a frontline property in Mallorca North

Beautiful scenery: We boast two of the largest bays of white-sand beaches on the island with the majestic outline of the UNESCO-protected Sierra de Traumuntana rising behind. It doesn’t end there. We offer luxurious frontline houses for sale on the exclusive peninsular of Formentor—a haunt for celebrities from all over the world, including Grace Kelly and Winston Churchill, since the 1930s—as well as in the idyllic fishing villages at Cala San Vicente and the quiet coves and bays in Malpas and Bonaire.

Limited properties: It’s a landscape that is precious and there’s a limited availability of front-line, high-quality properties. Every summer that goes by, our experienced teams based in our shops in Pollensa, Puerto Pollensa and our recently-opened shop in Puerto Alcudia, see the number of frontline properties in Mallorca North available to buy, as well as plots to build new dream villas, diminishing. The opportunity to buy a dream home right on the beach in Mallorca North is limited—act soon!

Quality of life: Known as “the California of Europe”, the island of Mallorca is regularly named the most popular place in the Mediterranean to own a holiday home. Mallorca North has it all: stunning scenery, fine restaurants, excellent international schools, pretty, authentic towns, and a lively cosmopolitan community. Not only can we boast two of Mallorca’s most popular beach resorts, Puerto Pollensa and Puerto Alcudia, but we also have a clutch of traditional market towns where you can tap into a truly authentic Mallorcan lifestyle. They boast pretty market squares, cafes with tables outside to watch the world go by, attractive small museums and galleries and a lively programme of year-round events—Mallorca North has it all!

Easily accessible: Our family-friendly region is consistently popular with sports and outdoors fanatics as well as yachtsmen and those who enjoy fine dining. It’s easily accessible–just 45 minutes’ drive from Palma’s airport, and half an hour into Palma itself.

Dynamic property market: If a property purchase is all about “location, location, location”, you can’t go wrong with a frontline villa or apartment Mallorca North which comes with direct sea access—a rare luxury available to a lucky few. Time and again, our agents have shown owners that their investments are safe with successful re-sales of properties and a constant stream of interest from would-be buyers.

Better value properties But Mallorca North offers the property buyer another advantage: it’s better value than other areas of the island. According to Engel & Völkers half-year results in 2018, the average price paid for a property in Mallorca had increased from €1.2 to €1.4m. That average is impacted on the high prices paid in the south-west where villas can command as much as €15m or more for those in the prime positions. Mallorca North offers the real estate buyer much better value where you can buy a home overlooking the sea for a fraction of the cost in other areas of the island.

Top-quality advice and easy transaction: Our team of experts will help guide you through the process of buying a frontline property in Mallorca North every step of the way. We have the added advantage that the island has set procedures, laws and routines in place to smooth over the buying process. There are plenty of legal advisors, mortgage consultants and property managers based in and around Pollensa and Alcudia for anyone considering buying a villa, apartment, finca or country estate.
