What Makes Mallorca One Of The Best Places To Live In The World?

It’s no surprise that Palma de Mallorca has been voted the ‘The Best Place to Live’ by the Financial Times, and one of the top locations according to Conde Naste Magazine.  With a picturesque and historic old town, beaches within walking distance, a friendly and easy-going community, an affordable cost of living and a great climate with 300 days of sunshine - it has everything one could possibly want for a relatively small and unassuming Mediterranean island. Palma is also only a short drive (10 minutes) from the airport, with plenty of cheap flights taking you to almost anywhere in mainland Europe, with the UK an easily commutable 2-hour flight.  But that´s only part of the story.

Having been awarded the status as a World Heritage Site, Mallorca has a diverse landscape with beautiful mountains, a flat and fertile wine country in the interior and a stunning coastline that stretches for 550km.  Ancient culture and rich traditions, festivities and a wide array of entertainment, intertwine with Michelin-acclaimed gastronomy, fine wines and top-level international sailing amongst a multitude of other exciting outdoor activities.

As an island, Mallorca also offers much more in terms of safety with a low serious or organised crime rate.  Real estate may be more expensive than the mainland, but it is also more exclusive and has proven to be a better and more stable investment, with lower supply and higher demand driving prices up. Its solid position as a high-end holiday destination affords it high-ranking rental potential, whilst easy to resell as a holiday or second-home residence in the sun.

“Mallorca has proven to be a safe and secure investment over the last 20 years, even through the tough times of global financial turmoil” says Amanda Butler. Having arrived on the island to start a new life 17 years ago, Amanda swopped her London career as a regional sales and marketing manager for a 5-star hotel group for a career in luxury real estate.

“It’s more of a lifestyle than a career.” says Amanda “I am passionate about the beautiful island I live on, passionate about property, and very passionate about the service I offer in finding the perfect property and location for my clients”.
