Where to buy a property in Port Andratx

LA MOLA

La Mola is one of the most exclusive areas in Port Andratx marked by its impressive tower ‘Torre de Sa Mola’ dating back to the 15th century. The area that encircles the tower on Carrer Ullastre is one of the greenest areas in Port Andratx and boasts supreme views over the bay and harbour. Properties are largely modern villas with gated entrances and benefit from plenty of hours of sunlight. Some of them even have views of Sa Dragonera.

CALA MARMASSEN

Cala Marmassen is located between Punta Marmassen and Morro des Garrover on the eastern side of La Mola. It is characterised by rocky terrain and high cliffs where you will find luxury villas scattered between pine trees looking out to sea. The stony beach below is not the smoothest of beaches and is quite difficult to access. However, it would appeal to buyers who enjoy deep-sea diving or snorkelling.

MONPORT

Monport has seen an increase in buying interest thanks to yacht enthusiasts looking for residency close to Club de Vela and the port. This is a quiet residential area but does see an influx of tourists in the summer months who stay at hotel Mon Port Hotel & Spa. Properties on this side of the harbour are sought-after for their great views of the entire port – residents can enjoy watching the fishing boats sailing back and forth.

CALA MORAGUES

Cala Moragues is situated 2km from the port and is known for being another exclusive area of Port Andratx. It is quite a rocky area which means that properties are usually staggered into the hillside at varying heights. There are lots of vegetation too around this part which buyers looking for nature will appreciate. Gardens usually benefit from vast areas of shade thanks to a rich canopy of pine trees.

CALA LLAMP

The rocky cove of Cala Llamp is a neighbour of La Mola and Cala Marmassen, located between Sa Punta des Cocó and Morro des Garrover. The beach is the ideal place for swimming and is nice for families with children given its natural shallow pools. Properties here have the best of three worlds: views of the port, sea and mountains. Cala Llamp is known for its much-loved Beach Club Gran Folies.

Types of property in Port Andratx

Port Andratx harbour

IN THE PORT

In the centre of the port properties tend to be luxury apartments in community buildings or complexes. These types of properties fit perfectly within the holiday rental market and usually come with a community swimming pool, terrace and parking. Buyers will find these type of apartments in a gated community just a short stroll from the marina. They are usually well-maintained and come decked out with modern fittings such as stylish kitchen units and en-suite bathrooms. There is of course the odd apartment that might require some renovation work, but the standard of property overall in Port Andratx is quite high. Luxury villas and penthouses share this level of standard too with many being designed by some of the world’s best architects including Alberto Rubio.

IN THE HILLTOPS

Properties located in the hilltops and the surrounding area are where the most exclusive properties are found – expect large sea-front terraces, private pools and crisp architecture. The higher up the property is, the more impressive the view and thus, more expensive to buy. Homes that face west benefit from Mallorca’s most spectacular sunsets and usually come with incredible decking areas – perfect for alfresco dining. Many properties staggered into the rock face are distributed over several floors with rooftop spaces and underground garages not being uncommon. Owning a property in the hilltops of Port Andratx is real estate gold, you’re not likely to lose investment here as long as the incredible views and landscape stay the same.

RULES AND REGULATIONS

There is a limited supply of quality land with sea views around Port Andratx making it very difficult to find your dream plot. If you’re interested in constructing your own home, you should be aware of the very restrictive planning system and the several hoops you’ll need to jump through to obtain permission. There is a lot of red tape around planning on the southwest coastline but this doesn’t mean it’s impossible. The local city council are responsible for issuing permits and the requirements will change differently depending on the nature of your project. Consult with a good solicitor to ensure that you take the correct steps.
