The best places to buy property in Mallorca — Part The best places to buy property in Mallorca — Part 3: Northeast ✨

If you’re looking for a balance of coastline, nature and strong investment potential, the northeast of Mallorca is one of the most interesting areas to explore.
Here, you’ll find everything from front-line apartments and sea-view villas to rustic fincas and quieter countryside retreats, often with excellent rental potential and a more accessible price point compared to the southwest.

Some of my recommended areas in the northeast:

💙 Puerto Pollensa — a beautiful, family-friendly seaside town with a strong demand for second homes
💙 Alcúdia / Port d’Alcúdia — ideal for investment, with year-round activity and great rental potential
💙 Pollensa — authentic charm at the foot of the Tramuntana, perfect for nature lovers
💙 Artá — more rural and peaceful, with stunning fincas and a slower pace of life
💙 Canyamel — still relatively undiscovered, offering privacy and beautiful natural surroundings
💙 Formentor — exclusive, timeless and incredibly private, with some of the island’s most sought-after properties

What makes this region so appealing is its versatility — whether you’re searching for a holiday home, a rental investment or a place to enjoy Mallorca more quietly.

💬 Comment “mallorca” and I’ll send you my full guide with more details.

And if you’re thinking about buying here, I’d be delighted to guide you through the process and help you find the right property. Send me a message with what you’re looking for, and we can explore the right options together.

Before & after of Casa P by @glw_architects I al Before & after of Casa P by @glw_architects 

I always enjoy discovering projects where architecture truly reveals the hidden potential of a home, and Casa P is a beautiful example of this.

Hidden beauty by the sea: what was once an abandoned house on Mallorca’s southeast coast has been thoughtfully transformed into a calm and timeless Mediterranean home.

For more than 12 years, this house stood empty on Mallorca’s southeast coast. Time had left its marks, yet the location and structure revealed a quiet potential. Through careful transformation, the former neglected house was reshaped into a calm and timeless Mediterranean home. Spaces were opened, natural light became a guiding element, and the connection to the surrounding landscape was restored. Room by room, the house was rediscovered, turning what once felt enclosed and forgotten into a place defined by light, simplicity and atmosphere.

Casa P
by @glw_architects, a German–Mallorcan architecture and design studio based in 📍Portopetro, Mallorca, specialising in contemporary Mediterranean architecture, interior and lighting design.

Verborgene Schönheit am Meer – Ein ehemals verlassenes Haus am Meer, verwandelt in ein zeitloses mediterranes Zuhause.

Mehr als 12 Jahre lang stand dieses Haus an der Südostküste Mallorcas leer. Die Zeit hatte ihre Spuren hinterlassen, doch die Lage und die Bausubstanz offenbarten ein großes Potenzial. Durch eine behutsame Umgestaltung wurde das ehemals vernachlässigte Haus in ein ruhiges und zeitloses mediterranes Zuhause verwandelt. Räume wurden geöffnet, natürliches Licht wurde zum leitenden Element, und die Verbindung zur umgebenden Landschaft wurde wiederhergestellt. Raum für Raum wurde das Haus neu entdeckt und verwandelte das, was einst beengt und vergessen wirkte, in einen Ort, der von Licht, Schlichtheit und Atmosphäre geprägt ist.

Casa P
durchgeführt von @glw_architects, einem deutsch-mallorquinischen Architektur- und Designstudio mit Sitz in 📍Portopetro, Mallorca, das sich auf zeitgenössische mediterrane Architektur, Innenarchitektur und Lichtdesign spezialisiert hat.

Mallorca may be an island, but once you begin expl Mallorca may be an island, but once you begin exploring it, you realise just how diverse it truly is.

Beyond the beaches and holiday resorts, there are landscapes shaped by mountains, vineyards, historic villages and vibrant coastal communities. Each region of the island offers a different way of life, from peaceful countryside living to creative mountain villages and lively Mediterranean city life.

Here are Mallorca’s 6 distinct regions, each with its own character:

🌿 Central Mallorca — traditional countryside, vineyards and slow village life
🌿 Northeast Mallorca — historic towns, nature reserves and quiet coastlines
🌿 Northwest Mallorca — Tramuntana mountains, artistic villages and dramatic scenery
🌿 Southeast Mallorca — sandy coves, salt flats and charming historic towns
🌿 Southwest Mallorca — glamorous marinas, beach life and international communities
🌿 Palma de Mallorca — vibrant Mediterranean capital with culture, gastronomy and sea views

Each area offers something unique, the key is finding the one that feels like home.

💬 Comment “mallorca” and I’ll send you my complete guide to Mallorca’s regions straight to your DMs, with my personal recommendations for each region.

✨ And if you’re thinking about living or buying property in Mallorca, I’d be delighted to help guide you on your journey.

🎧 In this new episode, I sit down with Ines Herman 🎧 In this new episode, I sit down with Ines Herman, who moved from Austria to Mallorca to create a new chapter for her family.

Having spent childhood holidays on the island, Mallorca always held a special place in her heart. Years later, she made the bold decision to leave her life in Vienna and relocate permanently — building a home from scratch in the Mallorcan countryside. In our conversation, Ines shares what it’s really like to buy land and build a house in Mallorca, navigate language barriers, raise children on the island, and adjust from fast-paced city life to Mallorca’s slower rhythm.

✨ A candid conversation for anyone dreaming of starting a new life on the island.

🎧 In dieser neuen Folge unterhalte ich mich mit Ines Herman, die von Österreich nach Mallorca gezogen ist, um ein neues Kapitel für ihre Familie aufzuschlagen.

Da sie als Kind ihre Ferien auf der Insel verbracht hatte, hatte Mallorca immer einen besonderen Platz in ihrem Herzen. Jahre später traf sie die mutige Entscheidung, ihr Leben in Wien aufzugeben und dauerhaft umzuziehen – um sich auf dem Land Mallorcas ein neues Zuhause aufzubauen. In unserem Gespräch erzählt Ines, wie es wirklich ist, auf Mallorca Land zu kaufen und ein Haus zu bauen, Sprachbarrieren zu überwinden, Kinder auf der Insel großzuziehen und sich vom schnelllebigen Stadtleben an den langsameren Rhythmus Mallorcas anzupassen.

✨ Ein offenes Gespräch für alle, die davon träumen, ein neues Leben auf der Insel zu beginnen.

The Magic of Marrakech Retreat has come to an end, The Magic of Marrakech Retreat has come to an end, and I’ve returned home with a heart full of gratitude.

Over the past few days we shared a beautiful journey together, a small group of wonderful women coming together to slow down, reconnect and experience the magic of Marrakech. We began each day with Kundalini yoga and meditation, creating space to slow down and reconnect 🧘🏼‍♀️✨ From there we stepped into the vibrant energy of the Medina, exploring colourful streets, gardens and hidden corners of the city, before gathering again in the evening to share meals, stories and connection.

On Sunday we left the buzz of the city behind and travelled to the Agafay desert, where the landscape opened into vast stillness and the Atlas Mountains appeared on the horizon. The desert invited us to pause, reflect and simply be present. A very special moment was our sunrise Kundalini yoga session in the desert, moving and breathing together as the first light touched the landscape, a beautiful way to close the retreat.

What stays with me most are the connections we created, the conversations we shared and the sense of calm that comes when we give ourselves the space to step away from everyday life.

Thank you to this wonderful group for making the retreat so special.

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.

What is your favorite month on the island? Let me know in the comments 🤍
