A city full of possibilities for your property purchase: the different locations in Palma 

If you wish to buy a flat or apartment in Palma de Mallorca, you can choose from six different location options, each of which has its own characteristics and unique selling points. The old town surrounding the La Seu Cathedral and the city centre represent perhaps the most dynamic part of Palma. In between the traditional Majorcan architecture, diverse cultural facilities such as the Teatre Principal or the Museo de Mallorca are situated just a few minutes’ walk from your new property. The port is also within quick reach. Flats, lofts, duplex apartments and sometimes even townhouses or palazzi are typical property offerings in this part of town. New-build properties are particularly sought-after. 

Portixol and El Molinar in the east of Palma have also become sought-after property locations for flats, apartments and penthouses with balconies and rooftop terraces. The former fishing village has developed into a popular boulevard with fancy bars and restaurants and offers a wide range of offerings for prospective international buyers. Further east, you will find Playa de Palma and El Arenal: Palma’s perhaps most well-known promenade has been upgraded in the past few years by the establishment of several 5 star premium hotels and offers interesting options for purchasing flats and apartments, particularly due to its proximity to the airport.

On the other side of town, in the south-west of Palma, lies the trendy neighbourhood of Santa Catalina with the bordering Paseo Marítimo, which has turned into a hip location. Buyers from Scandinavia and other parts of Europe appreciate the attractive lofts and penthouses, the trendy bars and restaurants and the relaxed atmosphere of this part of town. 

Bonanova is a property location, which is especially notable due to its proximity to the Castell Bellver and is surrounded by green nature within easy reach. Besides attractive apartments, here you have the opportunity to buy exclusive houses in a popular atmosphere. Our real estate agents have noticed in increase in demand for properties in nearby El Terreno, particularly amongst buyers from Sweden. In Gènova an exquisite selection of modern and individual villas and townhouses awaits you. These properties impress with their location outside of the centre and their calm atmosphere, whilst remaining within easy reach. This part of town is an excellent option for families with children in particular, due to its proximity to international schools. When purchasing an apartment in Sant Agustín, you benefit from being close to the sea.

Further north you will reach Son Vida, the premium residential area of Palma de Mallorca. You will find golf courses, first-class luxury hotels and the highest security standards as well as the most luxurious detached houses and villas in town.
