Penthouses and Historic Homes in Palma

Palatial properties in Mallorca are absolute gems! Often featuring period touches or stunning renovations, these cleverly designed buildings were once home to the island’s upper classes and were built to withstand time and the climate itself – walls can be up to a metre thick and hold in cool air whilst keeping the outdoor heat at bay.

And they definitely have the Wow! factor. These homes often weren’t just for the owning family, but also their household and any (and many!) guests. Palace-style properties in Palma de Mallorca and the rest of the island are centred around a grand courtyard, and interior fountains, balconies and gardens are a staple.

What more could you ask for?

Due to it’s desirable climate, trendy neighbourhoods with an abundance of bars, restaurants, shops and galleries, Palma de Mallorca is home to a growing international community from a wide array of nationalities and walks of life, but it goes without saying that it is particularly popular with Brits, Germans and Scandinavians.

Palma de Mallorca’s International Airport has flights to and from over 192 destinations reaching as far as Israel, Iceland and Russia – and connections to Barcelona’s El Prat and Madrid’s Barajas Airports allow for easy travel from as far as Asia and the Americas!

And on the island itself, the city is the central hub for all public transport from buses, to trains and even ferries to the islands of Ibiza, Menorca and Formentera.

In the area surrounding Palma de Mallorca you’ll find the desirable locales of Portals Nous (a favourite amongst yachters for it’s marina and promenade), Puerto Andratx (home to a large natural bay and super-villas galore) and Ciudad Jardi (a trendy, up and coming area to the south along the coast).
