This is the time of year when the island gently sh This is the time of year when the island gently shakes off its winter coat. The almond blossom may have faded, but the countryside is still lush and green, the days are getting longer, and life slowly begins to move outdoors again.

It’s a wonderful season for hiking in the hills, cycling quiet country roads, or simply sitting in a sunny village plaza watching island life unfold. The beaches remain beautifully peaceful too, perfect for long walks by the sea.

In Palma, Fira del Ram brings lights, laughter and sweet treats, while the Trofeo Princesa Sofía regatta fills the Bay of Palma with sails from some of the world’s best sailors.
With warm afternoons, fresh evenings and the island still moving at its own rhythm, March is one of the loveliest moments to experience Mallorca, just before the summer energy returns.

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.

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

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?
