Property buyers have long been seduced by Deia and Valldemossa, along with the towns of Soller and Port de Soller. Less well-known are the picturesque villages of Estellencs, Banyalbufar, Biniaraix and Fornalutx, though they too have their share of foreign property owners.

A long line of writers, composers, poets and painters have woven themselves into the history of the west, having been seduced by the area and settling here, buying a rustic finca or a townhouse. More recently, a score of actors, models and musicians have added themselves to the list, securing the region’s reputation as a haven of peace and tranquillity. In this area we can find some of the most luxurious properties for sale on the island, where families like Swarovski have also a frontline residence.
