Living & buying in Palma de Mallorca
Palma is the island's capital and one of the Mediterranean's most liveable cities — a walkable old town, a working marina, a buzzing food scene and an international airport on the doorstep.
- Capital city: walkable old town & seafront
- Apartments, penthouses & prestige villas
- Year-round city living & rental demand
- 10–15 min to the airport
What it's like to live here
From the Gothic cathedral and the Renaissance lanes of the casco antiguo to the cafés of Santa Catalina and the seafront at Portixol and Molinar, Palma offers true city living with the sea always close. It's cosmopolitan, year-round and well connected.
It appeals to buyers who want culture, restaurants and walkability rather than a quiet village or a beach resort.
The property market
The range is wide: character apartments and penthouses in the old town, stylish flats in Santa Catalina, seafront homes in Portixol, and prestige villas in Son Vida and the surrounding hills. Old-town and seafront addresses are premium, with strong liquidity and international demand.
As a capital-city market it behaves differently from the north — more apartments, more new-build, and year-round rental potential.
Practical details
Palma airport is 10–15 minutes from the centre, with direct flights across Europe year-round. International schools, hospitals, marinas and shopping are all here, and we have agents across the whole island to help you navigate it.
