Mallorca: Beyond the Summer Market
The island's most considered buyers now look for houses that work in January as well as in July.
Mallorca has long been read as a summer island. That reading is changing. A growing number of our clients spend the winter here, and it changes what they look for in a house.
Winter light
South and south-west orientations, protected terraces and rooms that hold warmth matter more than proximity to the beach. The Tramuntana villages, quiet in winter, have become as sought after as the coast.
Living, not visiting
Year-round use brings other priorities: a proper study, storage, a kitchen designed for daily cooking, and good connections to Palma and its schools. The best houses answer all of these without losing the island's calm.
