The Locations

Mallorca might be “just an island” but it offers such a diversity in landscape and lifestyle, depending upon in which area you live in. The north is definitely the most peaceful region it also boasts the most spectacular beaches and fantastic scenery on the island. People who buy a property for sale in Mallorca here in the north are not looking for excitement, they want peace, culture and to be able to enjoy their favourite sports and the slow pace of life.

The north offers everything a heart could desire: apart from a spectacular mountain range, where the world’s top cyclists come to prepare for their gruelling season, and hikers can take in the spectacular scenery, the two bays guarantee superb sailing and surfing facilities. Lovely beach front apartments or villas for sale in Alcúdia and Puerto Pollensa have superb views over the sea and direct access to the sandy beaches. A house for sale in the pretty little resort Son Serra de Marina in the middle of the Alcúdia bay will be more economical than a similar one in the more well-known locations. It is always advisable to a property hunter to check out the different towns and resorts in each island region.
