Sea view real estate Mallorca

Why are sea view real estates on Mallorca so popular?

Mallorca is one of the most popular holiday destinations in Europe and boasts a unique blend of breathtaking nature, rich culture and first-class infrastructure. The island not only offers fantastic beaches and Mediterranean flair, but also a high quality of life, which makes it a sought-after location for property buyers. Properties with sea views are particularly sought-after, as they not only offer an exclusive living experience, but are also considered a lucrative investment with a stable value.

An unobstructed view of the azure Mediterranean provides an incomparable living experience and conveys a feeling of holiday and relaxation every day. At the same time, sea view properties are experiencing an above-average increase in value, as demand remains consistently high and supply is limited. Owners also benefit from the fresh sea breeze, the sun-drenched location and the immediate proximity to nature, which has a positive effect on health and well-being.

Those who do not wish to use their property exclusively for private purposes also have the option of renting it out as a lucrative investment. Thanks to the high demand for holiday accommodation on Mallorca, sea view properties can generate attractive income through holiday rentals - an aspect that makes them particularly interesting not only for owner-occupiers, but also for investors.

The best locations for a sea view property

There are various locations on Mallorca that are suitable for buying a sea view property. These differ in terms of their character, infrastructure and price level. So there is definitely the right place for every taste for your own sea view property.

Southwest coast: pure luxury

The south-west coast of Mallorca, with hotspots such as Port Andratx, Santa Ponsa and Bendinat, is one of the most sought-after and exclusive property locations on the island. The region is known for its luxurious villas, modern designer flats and exclusive penthouses with panoramic views of the Mediterranean.

Port Andratx in particular is considered a stronghold for luxury real estate. Celebrities, entrepreneurs and international investors reside here in spectacular villas with direct access to the water. Santa Ponsa, with its renowned golf courses and marinas, offers an upmarket quality of living, while Bendinat scores with its historic properties and proximity to the island's capital Palma.

This region is ideal for buyers looking for an exclusive lifestyle, first-class infrastructure, upmarket restaurants and perfect connections to Palma. 

North coast: a natural paradise with breathtaking views

The north coast of Mallorca, with places like Pollença, Formentor and Deià, fascinates with its impressive natural scenery. Dramatic cliffs, hidden coves and deep blue waters characterise this region, which attracts nature lovers, artists and those seeking peace and quiet.

The picturesque artists' village of Deià is known for its romantic stone houses, which blend harmoniously into the landscape. Formentor offers some of the most spectacular views on the island as well as one of the most beautiful beaches in Mallorca. Pollença, with its historic old town and proximity to the bay of Alcúdia, attracts culture lovers who want to combine authenticity with comfort.

Anyone buying a property here will enjoy absolute privacy, tranquillity and one of the most impressive natural backdrops in Mallorca.

North-east coast: exclusive oases of peace with charm

The north-east coast, in particular places such as Canyamel, Cala Ratjada and Artà, has become an insider tip for property buyers in recent years. Here you will find a perfect blend of exclusivity, nature and Mallorcan charm.

Canyamel impresses with elegant villas, manicured golf courses and the exclusive ‘Cap Vermell Estate’, which combines luxury residences with 5-star resort service. Cala Ratjada offers a lively atmosphere with great beaches, a charming harbour and a wide range of leisure activities. Artà, with its traditional old town and proximity to unspoilt natural areas, is ideal for buyers looking to combine authentic Mallorca style with sea views.

This region offers a quieter alternative to the south-west coast, but with excellent value for money and high appreciation potential.

South-east coast: Hidden gems

The south-east coast of Mallorca, with places like Cala d'Or, Porto Colomand Cala Figuera, is still relatively undiscovered, but offers some of the most beautiful beaches and bays on the island.

Cala d'Or, known for its white cubic houses and exclusive marina, is particularly popular with yacht owners. Porto Colom, a charming fishing village, boasts a traditional atmosphere, a picturesque bay and first-class restaurants. Cala Figuera, with its picturesque fishing boats and breathtaking sunsets, is an idyllic retreat for those who love the authentic Mallorca.

Compared to other parts of the coast, sea view property in this region is even more affordable, making it particularly attractive for investors and second home owners.

Palma and the surrounding area: urban comfort with sea views

If you are looking for the perfect mix of city life and Mediterranean flair, Palma and its coastal resorts such as Illetas and Portixol are the ideal choice.

The island's capital offers exclusive flats with sea views that offer the perfect combination of urban comfort, proximity to international schools, luxury shopping and a first-class gastronomic offering. Neighbourhoods such as Portixol, which impresses with its harbour promenade and modern new buildings, and Illetas, which combines a quiet residential area with fantastic beaches, are particularly popular.

Here, buyers benefit from strong value growth, high demand for long-term rentals and excellent connections to the airport.

Prices for sea view properties in Mallorca

Prices for properties with sea views on Mallorca vary considerably depending on location, features and proximity to the water. Particularly exclusive areas such as the south-west or the north coast are known for their luxurious properties with spectacular panoramic views, while in other regions, comparatively cheaper properties can still be found.

As a general rule, the closer a property is to the sea and the clearer the view of the water, the higher the price per square metre. In addition, factors such as infrastructure, the exclusivity of the area and demand play a decisive role in pricing.

While luxurious villas in Port Andratx or Bendinat are among the most expensive properties on the island with prices of up to €25,000 per square metre, buyers can still find properties with sea views at more moderate prices on the south-east and north-east coast. In regions such as Canyamel or Cala Ratjada, for example, modern apartaments are available from €6,000 per m², while in Cala d'Or or Porto Colom charming houses with sea views often cost between €5,000 and €8,000 per m².

Investors looking for a high-yield investment often focus on the greater Palma area, where a mixture of urban comfort, proximity to the international airport and high demand for rental properties ensures stable prices. In exclusive neighbourhoods such as Portixol or Illetas, prices can therefore also exceed €10,000 per m².

As the market for sea view properties in Mallorca continues to be in high demand, a further increase in value can be expected in the coming years, especially in the most sought-after locations.

Tips for buying a sea view property in Mallorca

Buying a sea view property in Mallorca is a stable investment that can serve both as a private holiday home and as a profitable capital investment. But before you decide on a property, there are some important factors to consider in order to make an informed purchase decision and enjoy your property in the long term.

Seek advice from a local real estate agent

The property market in Mallorca is diverse and can quickly become confusing for buyers without local expertise. It is therefore advisable to turn to experienced estate agents such as KENSINGTON Artà. Our team at KENSINGTON knows the market inside out and will help you find the perfect sea view property to suit your individual requirements - be it a luxurious villa, a modern apartament or a charming finca with a view.

Check the infrastructure of the surrounding area

Even if the view of the sea is spectacular, you should make sure that the neighbourhood meets your needs. Make sure that shopping facilities, restaurants, doctors and schools are easily accessible - especially if you plan to use the property permanently. Families should pay attention to the proximity to international schools, while those who travel a lot should not forget good connections to the airport.

Pay attention to wind and weather conditions

Sea view properties are often exposed to strong weather conditions, especially salty air and occasional strong winds. These can damage materials such as metal, wood and window seals in the long term. If you are building or renovating a property, you should therefore choose high-quality materials that are resistant to salt. Also plan for regular maintenance and protective measures such as weatherproof windows and doors. In exposed locations, you should also check whether wind protection on terraces or balconies makes sense.

Pay attention to tax and legal aspects

The purchase of a property in Mallorca is subject to Spanish law. There are various taxes and fees that buyers should take into account:

• Property transfer tax (ITP): 8-11% of the purchase price
• Notary and land registry fees: approx. 1-2 %
• Ongoing costs: community fees, rubbish fees and community costs if applicable
• Additional taxes for non-residents (if the property is used as a second home)

Our experienced estate agents at KENSINGTON Artà can help you clarify all the legal and tax details and put you in touch with competent lawyers or tax advisors.
