What we know about buying, owning and living in Mallorca.

Most homes in Mallorca have no holiday licence. They can still be let, for a month or more, to people with a real reason to be here. Where the line is, and how we do it.

Palma’s Gothic giant is not just the view from the old town. It is the reason the old town looks the way it does.

The old fishermen’s quarter east of the port, now one of the most wanted addresses in Palma — and a flat walk from the cathedral.

A working European capital of 431,000 people that happens to sit on an island — and why that changes what you are buying.

A 1980 villa stripped to its frame above the bay of Santa Ponsa, permits granted, filmed by drone. Why we show the site before the house — and three ways to own it.

Most homes at this level are sold as projects. Casa Sunshine is sold with the keys. What that changes for a buyer — whole, or one of eight.

The last village on the southwest coast — Sa Dragonera offshore, the Tramuntana behind, and nothing beyond it.

When the light turns gold over the bay, Port d’Andratx becomes a different town. Where to be, and when.

A fjord-like bay at the island’s southwest tip, and the reason so many people who arrive never quite leave.

Olive grove, lemons by the door, a place private enough to disappear into — Casa Son Cabaspre, shared by up to eight owners.

A restored finca where the garden runs into the Serra de Tramuntana. We hold the right to buy it; eight owners will share it.

Five minutes below Casa Son Cabaspre, Esporles is what people mean by the real Mallorca. The town, the market, the rhythm.
