When you live in Mallorca, sooner or later you become a tour guide. The parents arrive, the old friends, the children with their partners, and suddenly it is you who decides what is worth showing of the island. And that is when you discover something: the Mallorca of the excursions — of the monuments, the caves, the viewpoints and the wooden train — is not the Mallorca of the holidays. It is the one...

You can live in Mallorca for years and still be an outsider. Or you can go to a fogueró in January and stop being one in a single night. The festivals of this island are not folklore laid on for tourists: they are the skeleton of the year, the place where a community recognises itself. And they are, by a distance, the fastest and most honest way in. We have been in the southeast since 2010 — Ses...

Eating well in Mallorca is easy. Eating from here is another thing entirely: it is a way of life. And it is probably what turns you from newcomer into neighbour faster than anything else. Because the Mallorcan pantry is not discovered on a restaurant menu, but at the Thursday market stall, at the village bakery, and in the conversation with the person who sells you the tomatoes and tells you, without being...

There is no single "best area" to live in Mallorca — there is the best area for you. The island is not one place but half a dozen very different Mallorcas, and choosing well is the decision that will shape your daily life more than any other. We have had our feet on the ground in the southeast since 2010, so this is not a list of postcards: it is an honest guide, area by area, to how each one really...

Mallorca doesn't have one climate — it has four. Anyone who only knows the island in August goes home with a single image — sun, heat and crowded beaches — that barely tells a quarter of the story. Living here all twelve months means discovering that the same village transforms completely with the seasons, and that the island is really several climates in one: the mild, sun-soaked south and east, the...

You can drive across Mallorca in about two hours, and still spend a lifetime without truly knowing it. This is an island with a mountain range listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the only national park in the Balearics, salt pans with flamingos, one of the cleanest night skies in the Mediterranean, and the roads half the world's professional cycling peloton dreams about. Living here doesn't mean having...

Moving to Mallorca from the USA is more achievable in 2026 than most Americans think, but the rules have changed. Spain closed its Golden Visa in 2025, so the "buy property and get residency" shortcut no longer exists. The good news: the two routes that Americans actually use most, the Non-Lucrative Visa and the Digital Nomad Visa, are alive, well defined, and well suited to retirees, remote workers and...

If you are a US buyer weighing Spain in 2026, the first real decision is not a house — it is a place. Mallorca, Ibiza and the Costa del Sol are three very different bets on lifestyle, rental economics and long-term value, and the brochures rarely tell you where they diverge. We are a boutique agency working the southeast of Mallorca since 2010, so we have skin in this game — but the honest way to make...

If you are an American picturing a home in Mallorca, chances are the images in your head come from the southwest. Port d'Andratx, superyachts, cliffside modern villas, the see-and-be-seen restaurant scene. It is beautiful, expensive and crowded. But it is not the whole island, and for a growing number of US buyers it is not the right fit. We are a boutique agency that has lived and worked in the southeast...

Short answer: for the right buyer, yes — but not for the reasons most headlines suggest. If you are a US buyer weighing whether Mallorca is a good property investment in 2026, you deserve a straight, evidence-based answer rather than a sales pitch. We are a boutique agency working the southeast of the island since 2010, and we sell here because we live here — so we have every reason to be honest about...
