Wintering in Mallorca: Enjoy the Mild Climate and Sea Breeze

Why is Mallorca ideal in winter? The reasons for choosing Mallorca as a winter destination are as diverse as the colors of the Mediterranean island itself. While Central and Northern Europe is often characterized by gray skies and icy cold during the winter months, Mallorca welcomes its visitors with warm sunshine and mild temperatures. Here are some reasons why Mallorca in winter is a haven of well-being: Bask in the Sunshine: Mallorca continues to enjoy an average of 300 days of sunshine per year, allowing you to escape the cold season and feel the warm Mediterranean sun on your skin.

Legalisation of illegal buildings in Mallorca: possibilities and conditions

Legalisation of illegal buildings in Mallorca: possibilities and conditions

In Mallorca, it is (once again) possible to legalise certain illegally constructed buildings in the countryside retrospectively. The regulation is controversial. Illegal buildings on Mallorca are often in a legal grey area, as they were built or extended without permission but can no longer be demolished due to expired limitation periods. On the other hand, owners do not receive authorisation for conversions or renovations. This year, the conservative Balearic government launched a procedure for the legalisation of such buildings, which is subject to numerous conditions. The property market has already reacted: Prices for such properties that can be legalised retrospectively have already risen. For property owners on the island, however, the question arises as to whether they should ...

Golf in Mallorca – 24 golf courses fascinate golfers worldwide

Mallorca is an A-destination, because one seat on the plane and you land on the golf island in two hours. This in turn offers a delicious selection "a gusto" of 24 "campos de golf". Each of these golf courses can be reached from anywhere on the island within an hour by car. Another advantage of the Mallorcan golf courses is that on most of them you can see the Mediterranean flashing in the sunlight in the far or near distance. Golf courses without a sea view usually compensate by offering a mountain panorama and picturesque Mediterranean fauna. Mallorca is a golfer's paradise The reasons for this are as crystal clear, but also as diverse as the Mediterranean: Mallorca offers a warm Mediterranean climate with mild temperatures all year round, allowing golfers to play almost all year r...

Mallorca Real Estate Market Study 2024: In Mallorca, prices continue to rise.

Mallorca is booming. Visitor numbers are at an all-time high and the property market is also unaffected by the global challenges. In Mallorca, the average price per square metre for a holiday property in January 2024 was around 5,800 euros. This is 1.7 per cent more than in the previous year and shows a high degree of stability, for example, compared to the German property market. The luxury segment remains the price driver with an increase of 13 per cent. Top sea views can even cost up to 18.8 per cent more. The most expensive region continues to be the south-west, closely followed by the increasingly popular Palma city. While prices are rising, the number of properties for sale continues to fall. In the luxury segment, the market is almost empty and experts do not see an end to the price...
