These are the 7 best places to buy property in Mal These are the 7 best places to buy property in Mallorca’s northwest 🌿

The northwest of Mallorca is defined by its unspoiled natural landscape and is a favourite for buyers seeking authentic island living. Areas such as Deià and Valldemossa, particularly on the outskirts, are home to some of the island’s most beautiful fincas and grand estates, set within the Serra de Tramuntana. Properties here often come with land, ideal for those dreaming of space and gardens. Modern new builds are rare — architecture is rooted in natural stone, and as a UNESCO World Heritage area, development is carefully protected.

Key northwest locations:
• Deià
• Valldemossa
• Sóller & Port Sóller
• Fornalutx
• Esporles
• Banyalbufar

This is Part 2 of a new series where I’ll be sharing my recommended areas across the island — helping you understand where you might feel most at home in Mallorca.

💬 Comment “living” and I’ll send you my complete guide to the best places to buy property in Mallorca.

✨ Let us help you find the perfect place and make your new life in Mallorca a reality. Head to the link in my bio to learn more or reach out to me directly via Instagram DM - we’d be delighted to guide you every step of the way. Helen x

🎙️ New episode now live. In this conversation, I s 🎙️ New episode now live. In this conversation, I speak with Fernando Martínez Comas, Senior Partner at KPMG Abogados(@kpmg_es)  in the Balearic Islands and Head of Tourism for KPMG Spain, about what international buyers, investors and relocating families really need to understand before moving to Mallorca.

Fernando shares first-hand insights from advising high-net-worth clients and explains why integrated legal and tax planning is essential.

We also explore quality of life on the island — security, schools, healthcare, connectivity — and Mallorca’s shift from holiday destination to full-time living base.

✨ If you’re considering buying a home, starting a business, or relocating your family, this episode offers practical guidance to navigate the process with clarity.

Das sind die innovativsten Architektinnen und Architekten auf Mallorca 📐✨
Im Laufe der Jahre hatte ich das Privileg, viele herausragende Architektinnen und Architekten auf der Insel persönlich kennenzulernen. Diese Studios empfehle ich immer wieder — für ihre Kreativität, Professionalität, nachhaltige Arbeitsweise und ihr tiefes Verständnis für das Bauen auf Mallorca.

Jedes dieser Studios verfolgt einen eigenen Ansatz — alle eint jedoch der Anspruch an Qualität, durchdachtes Design und Häuser, die wirklich zur Insel passen.

Alaró is one of those towns where everything seems Alaró is one of those towns where everything seems to have fallen naturally into place. Its rich history is reflected in beautiful old buildings and peaceful plazas, creating a strong sense of character. Set in the foothills of the Serra de Tramuntana, the village enjoys mountain views and direct access to some of Mallorca’s finest hiking and cycling routes.

Many international residents have been drawn here for a slower pace of life closer to nature, integrating respectfully into local traditions while bringing fresh creative energy. Above all, Alaró stands out for its strong, welcoming sense of community.

Comment ALARO to receive my in-depth guide to the village. And if you’re considering a home here, feel free to get in touch, I’d be delighted to help guide you.

Alaró ist ein Ort, an dem alles stimmig wirkt. Die reiche Geschichte, schöne alte Gebäude und ruhige Plätze verleihen dem Dorf viel Charakter. In den Ausläufern der Serra de Tramuntana gelegen, bietet Alaró herrliche Bergblicke sowie direkten Zugang zu einigen der schönsten Wander- und Radwege Mallorcas.
Viele internationale Bewohner schätzen hier den ruhigeren Lebensstil nahe der Natur und die starke, offene Gemeinschaft.

Kommentieren Sie ALARO, um meinen ausführlichen Guide zum Dorf zu erhalten. Und wenn Sie darüber nachdenken, hier ein Zuhause zu finden, begleite ich Sie sehr gerne mit Erfahrung und lokaler Expertise.

Here are the top cycle routes you will not want to Here are the top cycle routes you will not want to miss on Mallorca 🚴↓

Cycling has always been one of my favourite ways to experience Mallorca and I always come away inspired. These are the routes I keep coming back to — each one different, but always rewarding:

• Tramuntana Coastal Road — dramatic mountain passes with endless sea views
• Cap de Formentor — iconic lighthouse ride with sweeping coastal scenery
• Coll de Sóller — calm, winding climb on the old road through pine forests
• Sa Calobra — legendary hairpins leading to a spectacular bay
• Orient & the Central Region — quiet country roads through traditional villages
• Palma Seafront — an easy ride with wonderful coastal views

Do you have a favourite — or one still on your list?

When I asked @nina.moons what advice she would giv When I asked @nina.moons what advice she would give young families moving to Mallorca, her answer was simple: patience. The excitement of a new beginning is beautiful — but true belonging takes time. Routines, friendships, language, community… it all unfolds slowly. And often, it’s around the three-month mark that something shifts — and you start to feel at home.

A gentle reminder that building a life here is a journey, not a sprint.

Als ich @nina.moons fragte, welchen Rat sie jungen Familien geben würde, die nach Mallorca ziehen, war ihre Antwort ganz klar: Geduld. Die Aufregung eines Neuanfangs ist etwas Wunderschönes — doch echtes Ankommen braucht Zeit. Routinen, Freundschaften, Sprache, Gemeinschaft… all das entwickelt sich Schritt für Schritt. Und oft ist es nach etwa drei Monaten, wenn sich etwas verändert — wenn man beginnt, sich wirklich zuhause zu fühlen.

Eine sanfte Erinnerung daran, dass sich ein Leben hier aufzubauen ein Weg ist — kein Sprint.

What smart buyers in Mallorca are doing differentl What smart buyers in Mallorca are doing differently in 2026 ✨ Mallorca’s property market is entering a more considered phase, and international buyers are responding with clarity and strategy.

Rather than chasing headline appeal or rushing decisions, today’s most confident buyers are prioritising micro-location, long-term liveability and properties that truly work day to day. Proximity to Palma, access to schools and healthcare, reliable infrastructure and legal clarity now matter more than ever.

We’re also seeing a shift towards smarter timing and informed negotiation, as pricing becomes more grounded and discreet off-market opportunities play an increasingly important role. Many of the most interesting homes never reach public portals, access and local insight make all the difference. Buying in Mallorca today is no longer just about finding a beautiful home. It’s about choosing a property that supports lifestyle, stability and value well into the future.

If you’re thinking about buying a home in Mallorca and would like experienced, independent guidance, my team and I at hc/ Property Buyer’s Agency are here to help you navigate the market with confidence.

Take the first step today! Comment “PROPERTY” & book a consultation with me.

🌸 Mallorca is in full bloom right now, and it’s o 🌸 Mallorca is in full bloom right now,  and it’s one of the island’s most magical moments of the year 🌿

The island’s countryside is dusted in soft shades of white and blush pink, a fleeting spectacle that feels almost dreamlike. Every year, people travel here just to witness this magical moment when nature gently announces that spring is on its way.

The heart of the blossom can be found in the island’s central region, around 📍Marratxí, Bunyola, Santa Maria, Sencelles, Lloseta and Selva — where the microclimate creates perfect conditions for the trees to flourish. But truthfully, almond trees are scattered all across Mallorca, so you may find yourself stumbling upon them unexpectedly on a countryside walk or scenic drive.

Have you ever seen Mallorca during almond blossom season — or is it still on your list? 🌸
