Real Estate in Alaró

The centre of the island is characterised by authentic villages and small towns with many old customs and traditions. Fields, olive groves, and wine-growing regions dominate the slightly hilly landscape in this region. In popular places such as Alaró high-quality products that are typical of this region are sold at the weekly markets. This is exactly what those who want to buy a property in this region are looking for. The closeness to nature, lively towns, and being able to pick olives or grapes in one’s own garden are all crucial purchasing arguments. A growing trend: buyers often attach value to sustainability, the chance to be self-sufficient, and independence from external supply.

There continues to be high demand for new- builds. German, Swiss, British, and Spanish buyers are Engel & Völkers’ most frequent clients in the centre of the island, often families and middle-aged couples. They do not usually require financing. Many clients work from home; therefore, it is important that properties both for sale and for rent have a good internet connection. This is mostly available, which increases the appeal of locations in the island’s centre. Clients see a chance to either settle permanently on the island, or commute between their home country and Mallorca.

The centre of the island stands out due to its proximity to the capital and the airport, two golf courses (Son Gual and Puntiró), shopping possibilities like the Mallorca Fashion Outlet, weekly markets in nearly all towns, and excellent restaurants. Transport connections are being continuously improved: recently including a motorway exit to Santa Maria and Lloseta.

Fincas with stone façades and spacious outdoor areas, gardens, and a pool are particularly sought-after. High-quality construction and a view of the Tramuntana Mountains are also important factors for clients in making a decision to buy. Investors are particularly interested in properties with a rental licence for prices between 400,000 and 1.5 million euros.
