Mallorca as the capital of the Balearic Islands features the most sophisticated infrastructure, attracting national and international investors and is the most dynamic in terms of real estate not only in the region but also in the Mediterranean as a whole. Mallorca is regarded as a leading destination for second home investment attracting a new generation of buyers.

The island’s attraction lies in its varied landscape, warm climate, culture and the sophisticated infrastructure it can offer.

Mallorca has also been regarded as a safe haven and is home to many personalities, celebrities, politicians and royals including the Spanish Royal Family who traditionally spend summer holidays on the island. Maintaining the safety and security of the island is key where the authentic Mallorcan traditions and family life are fundamental to the essence of the island’s society.
