Why Brits Love Mallorca

• Established English-speaking community in Pollença, Santa Ponsa, Calvià
• Direct flights from virtually every UK airport (2h15–2h30)
• Familiar lifestyle balance: genuinely Spanish yet internationally equipped
• Post-Brexit: property purchase unaffected, but 90-day stay limit applies

Why Germans Love Mallorca

• Over 200 flights per week from Germany in summer
• German newspapers, radio, supermarkets, doctors, and lawyers
• Deutsche Schule Mallorca offers full German curriculum through Abitur
• Strong investment mentality — Germans view Mallorca property as a store of value

Lifestyle Beyond the Beach

UNESCO World Heritage Serra de Tramuntana hiking. Europe’s premier cycling destination. 40+ marinas for sailing. Michelin-starred dining in Palma. Wine from Binissalem DO. 300+ days of sunshine.

International Schools

British, German, and IB curricula available. Key schools include Baleares International School, Deutsche Schule Mallorca, Agora Portals, and Rafa Nadal International School. Fees €6,000–€15,000/year.

Rental Regulations

ETV licence required for tourist rentals. Moratorium on new licences in many areas. Palma apartment tourist rentals banned since 2018. Fines up to €40,000. Properties with existing licences command a premium.

Investment Considerations

In favour: Supply constraints, consistent international demand, lifestyle appeal, rental income potential (€1,500–€5,000+/week peak season with licence).

Challenges: High transfer tax (8–13% ITP), rental restrictions, Balearic wealth tax, seasonal quietness outside Palma, post-Brexit residency rules for Brits.
