Creating the space we live in is a hugely important process, especially in Mallorca where many of us move for the calming Mediterranean ambience. Making sure your home feels as relaxed as possible means hiring an interior designer who can advise on colours, furnishings and positioning.

Die Innenarchitekten auf Mallorca, die Ihr Traumhaus gestalten (Teil 1) ✨👇🏼

Die Gestaltung des Raums, in dem wir leben, ist ein sehr wichtiger Prozess, besonders auf Mallorca, wo viele von uns wegen des beruhigenden mediterranen Ambientes umziehen.

In diesem ersten Teil stelle ich Ihnen einige Designer und Studios vor, die ich aufgrund ihrer Qualität, Kreativität und ihres Verständnisses dafür, was ein mallorquinisches Zuhause wirklich besonders macht, immer wieder empfehle:

Let me introduce you to Anna Lena Kortmann - a des Let me introduce you to Anna Lena Kortmann - a designer weaving tradition, memory, and place into contemporary furniture made slowly and with intention @studiojaia ✨🧶

Rooted in a near-forgotten Mallorcan weaving technique, her handwoven stools and benches blend time-honoured craft with modern, sustainable design. Each piece is tactile, thoughtful, and made to last—storytelling in structure and thread.

There is no rush in her process. Every piece is made to order, created with care and meant to be kept, used, and passed on. A quiet reminder that beauty made slowly will always endure. 💛

The best places to live in Mallorca, starting with The best places to live in Mallorca, starting with the Southwest ✨ (Part 1) When I speak with people considering a move to Mallorca, the southwest is often where the conversation begins - and for good reason. This part of the island offers an exceptional balance of lifestyle, accessibility and long-term value.

From elegant marina living and frontline sea views to peaceful residential enclaves surrounded by nature, the southwest attracts families, second-home buyers and those drawn by Mallorca’s yachting and Mediterranean lifestyle. With strong property demand, modern architecture, established communities and easy access to Palma, it’s one of the most sought-after areas on the island, whether you’re buying a family home, a holiday retreat or a smart investment.

My top places to live in Southwest Mallorca:

• Bendinat
• Portals Nous & Puerto Portals
• Santa Ponsa
• Port Andratx
• Camp de Mar
• Port Adriano
• Illetas
• Cala Major
• Cas Català
• Sol de Mallorca

This is Part 1 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.

Life on Mallorca is more than a change of scenery, Life on Mallorca is more than a change of scenery, it’s a shift in rhythm. 🌿

So many of the people I meet, whether clients beginning a new chapter or guests joining me on the podcast, arrive with the same quiet yearning: to slow down and live more intentionally. Here, time seems to expand. Moments are savoured, simplicity feels luxurious, and presence becomes a way of life.
It isn’t always effortless, but the island has a beautiful way of guiding you back to what truly matters. ✨

I’d love to know — how has life on the island inspired or changed you? 💫

Das Leben auf Mallorca ist mehr als nur ein Tapetenwechsel – es ist ein neuer Lebensrhythmus. 🌿

So viele Menschen, denen ich begegne – ob Kunden, die hier ein neues Kapitel beginnen, oder Gäste in meinem Podcast, kommen mit derselben leisen Sehnsucht: langsamer zu leben und bewusster zu sein. Hier scheint sich die Zeit auszudehnen. Momente werden intensiver wahrgenommen, Einfachheit fühlt sich plötzlich luxuriös an und Präsenz wird zu einer echten Lebenshaltung. Es ist nicht immer mühelos, doch die Insel hat eine wunderbare Art, uns sanft zu dem zurückzuführen, was wirklich zählt. ✨

Ich würde gerne wissen — wie hat das Leben auf der Insel Sie inspiriert oder verändert? 💫

8 things to know about international schools in Ma 8 things to know about international schools in Mallorca 🎓🌿 If you’re moving to Mallorca with children, choosing the right school is one of the biggest decisions you’ll make as a family 🌿✨ The good news is that Mallorca offers an impressive range of international schools for such a small island — with different curriculums, locations and facilities to help your child truly thrive.

A few helpful things to know before you start your search:

1️⃣ School year & holidays – September to June, with around 10 weeks of summer break
2️⃣ Typical school day – 8:55–16:00 (Monday–Friday)
3️⃣ Entry process – usually an entry test + interview
4️⃣ Curriculums – international options, not only the Spanish system
5️⃣ Uniforms – common at many private schools
6️⃣ Languages – many students graduate speaking 3+ languages
7️⃣ School transport – often available, depending on the school
8️⃣ Fees – approx. €5,000–€15,000/year (extras not included)

💬 Comment “schools” and I’ll send you my full guide to good international schools in Mallorca to consider.

Most international schools are based in the southwest near Palma, so it’s worth considering location early on. And if you’d like support finding the right area and home, my team and I would be delighted to help. 🤍

In our recent podcast episode, they reflect on their home search, the reasons behind choosing village life in Alaró, and how the right guidance helped them make a more informed and confident decision.

Wie viele andere waren auch Trevor & Judy Hill fasziniert von der Idee, eine Finca auf Mallorca zu besitzen – doch durch unsere Zusammenarbeit gewannen sie ein klareres Verständnis für die ländlichen Immobiliengesetze, die Anforderungen an Grundstücksgrößen und den Lebensstil, der damit einhergeht. In unserer aktuellen Podcast-Folge blicken sie auf ihre Haussuche zurück, erzählen, warum sie sich letztlich für ein Dorfhaus in Alaró entschieden haben – und wie die richtige Beratung ihnen geholfen hat, eine fundierte und selbstbewusste Entscheidung zu treffen.
