Mallorca’s luxury property scene is having a moment. In 2025, demand for high-spec new builds has never been stronger, with discerning buyers seeking more than just a beautiful home – they want a lifestyle. Think smart design, sea views, wellness features, and a footprint that treads lightly on the land. With limited supply and growing international interest, the island’s most coveted addresses are reaching new heights of sophistication.

The new blueprint is green, glamorous, and bespoke

Sustainability has become the ultimate status symbol. Today’s luxury new builds are designed to impress not just with style but with conscience – think solar panels, green roofs, and seamless integration with the natural landscape. Many are edging towards net-zero, reflecting a deeper shift towards meaningful, modern living.

Inside, tech takes centre stage. Homes come fitted with AI-powered climate control, spa-like wellness zones, and remote-ready spaces – perfect for buyers blending business with beach life. As remote work continues to reshape how we live, layouts now cater to multi-generational families and long, leisurely stays.

Location remains everything. Prime coastal properties continue to lead the market. In hotspots like Puerto Portals, Port d’Andratx, and Son Vida, prices can reach over €8,600 per square metre, more than double the island average. Above Port d’Andratx, the phenomenal curved Andratx Hills project offers a limited number of contemporary villas with private pools and sweeping sea views—combining privacy, design, and high-end living in one of the island’s most sought-after settings. In Son Vida, a spectacular new-build villa currently under construction promises 870 m² of refined living space, featuring a 14-metre infinity pool, private spa, and panoramic views over Palma Bay.

Palma’s redeveloped Paseo Marítimo, the new Club de Mar superyacht marina, and upgrades to the airport are further enhancing the appeal of nearby developments, while branded projects like the Mandarin Oriental in the southwest are raising the island’s luxury profile.

Meanwhile, the foreign buyer market remains strong, making up 38% of transactions in Mallorca during the first half of 2024, according to Spain’s College of Notaries. Germans lead the international demand, followed by British, Swedish, and Swiss buyers. Demand for high-spec, turnkey properties remains high. Developers are focusing on exclusive homes with cutting-edge design, energy efficiency, and lifestyle-enhancing features. But building here is no free-for-all. Strict planning rules and land scarcity mean each new project is exclusive by default – and increasingly bespoke.

It’s a market fuelled by emotion as much as investment – where the ultimate luxury is not just owning a home in Mallorca, but owning the right one.
