The West
The picturesque town and village of Sóller and Deiá can be found in the west of Mallorca, surrounded by many other tranquil and beautiful areas, all of which are characterised by high demand. The landscapes in this region of Mallorca offer a stunning contrast between mountains and sea underlining the appeal of property here. Easy accessibility to the capital Palma and the airport also contribute to the region’s appeal.
Deia is an idyllic village of green-shuttered, honey-coloured houses that has become a millionaires’ hideaway perched in a ravine at the foot of the Teix mountain, with views out to the Mediterranean Sea below. Deià is part of a landscape awarded World Heritage Site status for the way in which nature, culture and traditions triumphantly merge. Much of the Deià’s appeal lies in its laid-back vibe and blissful surroundings, making a stay here highly conducive for rest and relaxation amidst some very impressive views of the blue sea and stunning mountains.
There are a few interesting small boutiques, galleries and shops in the village, and plenty of places to eat and drink – including the Michelin-starred Es Racó d’Es Teix.
It’s worth taking time to stroll around, admiring the sympathetically restored old stone houses nestled in narrow alleys. Foodies will love the village’s little central grocery store Es Forn, crammed to the rafters with local produce and gourmet treats.
A 30-minute stroll from the village takes you down to Cala Deià – a small rocky cove with a shingle beach and two beach restaurants famous for their fish.
Heavenly restored farmhouses, classic ochre-hued village homes, and beautifully-presented renovated villas are some of the types of property on offer this once-humble village that is now something of a millionaire’s hideaway. However, Deià has kept its sense of local charm.

Its family-friendly environment and atmosphere, cobbled streets, delightful citrus groves and beautiful architecture capture every imagination.

The main square, Plaça Constitució is Soller’s beating heart and has plenty of cafes and bars where you can enjoy a fresh orange juice (or something stronger), and the area comes alive on Saturdays when the local market takes place.
The town lies a couple of miles inland from its port, Port De Soller, and found here is a vintage tram that runs from the town to the port. You also have the option of a vintage train, dating back to 1912, that connects Palma to Soller. The train journey is an experience in itself as it passes through some wonderfully scenic countryside.
Its proximity to Palma is another feature that attracts people of different nationalities to set up home here. Country dwellers enjoy fine views and tranquillity. The real estate extends from modern apartments to Art Nouveau townhouses, to rustic golden-hued stone fincas. Strict enforcement of building regulations has prevented overdevelopment, and you’re more likely to find an old property to restore – or that’s already been restored – than a plot on which to build your own place.

Port De Soller is a picturesque little coastal village situated in a large horseshoe bay which has become well known and popular particularly due to its historic tram and scenic surroundings. Surrounded by the imposing peaks of the Tramuntana Mountains, Port de Soller is one of the few towns that can claim both magnificent mountain scenery and breath-taking sea views. Being on the west coast, it also affords some of the best sunsets in Mallorca.
As an old fishing harbour, it is also a great place to eat fish and seafood and the well-equipped marina is the perfect starting point for yacht and sailing trips to neighbouring bays such as Sa Calobra.
The bay is bordered by a sandy beach, lined by a pedestrianised promenade where visitors flock to admire the port’s unwavering beauty. Here resides an endless stretch of cafes, restaurants and shops with the odd hotel in between. Remaining true to its traditional fishing harbour roots, seafood restaurants are in abundance. At the same time, there are several contemporary places popping up in the area, including top-notch restaurants and trendy cocktail bars. This has coincided with the world-renowned Jumeirah Group opening a super-luxury hotel on the hills above Port de Soller, a 5-star hotel which prides itself as being one of the most luxurious places to stay in Europe, let alone Mallorca. As a result, the town has undergone a bit of facelift in the last few years, with the seafront being tastefully redeveloped and the tram line that runs to Soller re-routed.
The improvements made to the port in recent years have added value to real estate in and overlooking Port Sóller and country-dwellers enjoy fine views and tranquillity. The real estate extends from modern apartments to Art Nouveau townhouses, to rustic golden-hued stone fincas. Strict enforcement of building regulations has prevented overdevelopment, and you’re more likely to find an old property to restore – or that’s already been restored – than a plot on which to build your own place.

The authentic mountain village of Fornalutx is nestled high up the Tramuntana mountain range overlooking Sóller. Often referred to as the ‘Prettiest Village in Spain’, the stone buildings and red-tiled roofs combine with the scent of the surrounding orange and lemon groves to provide a traditional rustic charm.
Not only does Fornalutx claim a superlative mountain backdrop but the number of sought-after walking trails and cycle routes on its doorstep makes the village a top destination for hikers and cyclists to base themselves. For a more laid-back experience, its cafes offer terraces with views of olive and orange groves scaling right up to the pine-clad foothills of Puig Major (Mallorca’s highest mountain).
The village of Fornalutx has a growing international community. The centre of the village is dominated by traditional stone townhouses. There is a wider variety of fincas and villas in the surrounding countryside. The size of Fornalutx and the limited development potential mean real estate can be thin on the ground compared to nearby Sóller. Many of the properties available are traditional stone townhouses and small fincas. Bigger properties tend to be in the surrounding area rather than Fornalutx itself. The desirability of the location combined with the breathtaking views of the valley keeps the market healthy. Prices vary greatly in a small area, largely due to the properties level of modernisation and position in the village. While location adds a premium, the mountain views appear to have less of an effect on the price than a sea view. Transport links from Fornalutx are better than ever. The motorway network is easy to reach, and the cosmopolitan capital of Palma is just 40 minutes away.
If you would like to find out more about Fornalutx and property for sale in Majorca then please do not hesitate to contact us.
Valdemossa is a village steeped in old-world charm, its quiet and picturesque streets are sprinkled with shops, art galleries, cafes and restaurants. The town is only around 15-20 minutes’ drive from Palma de Mallorca into the Tramuntana mountains but feels a world away from the capital. Perched in an idyllic valley, surrounded by terraced terrain, its ancient blonde stone houses contrast vividly against the surrounding green forests of olive, oak and almond trees.
Valldemossa’s fine architecture and environment attracts wealthy buyers searching for prestige properties, and the small selection of homes available for sale do not disappoint.
Historical mansions are picked up by owners of a high calibre, which in the past have included members of the Swarovski family. As one of the most sought-after areas on the island, prices are high in Valldemossa, and the choice of properties is fairly limited.

Pollença (also written Pollenca or Pollensa) is an ancient rural town tucked between two hills and just a few kilometres from Port de Pollensa.
This enchanting town consists of attractive narrow streets and an impressive main square called the Plaça Mayor which is dominated by a Parroquial church dating back to the 18th century. Pollensa town is rich in history and attracts visitors from all over the island but this town doesn’t feel like many others around the island that have surrendered to tourism.
The town’s residents are primarily islanders, making it a popular retreat amongst those looking to escape the more touristy beach resorts in favour of a more cultural Mallorcan experience. Cafe life is the rule here; if you want to join in, it is recommended to visit on a Sunday morning when Plaça Major is filled with market stalls and just sit and watch the world go by – after a good shop around, of course.

It has easy access to the main motorway and is 45 minutes from the airport and Palma centre.

Port de Pollença (also known as Puerto Pollensa) sits in a large horseshoe bay and enjoys splendid sea views with a mountain backdrop. The town is much loved by the British in particular and is an established family-friendly resort in the north of Mallorca.
It features a large marina and because of the prohibitive building regulations on the island, there is rarely a high-rise block in sight; just long swathes of sandy beach, lined by pine and palm trees, a splendid array of cafes and restaurants, and some excellent hotels.
The beachfront is the main attraction and varies hugely depending on which side you are on. On the southern side of the port, you will find a long commercial beach with purpose-built holiday apartments, restaurants and tourist shops lining the road opposite the promenade. As you travel north along the port, the coastline starts to become more tranquil, with traditional style Mallorcan chalets complete with pine trees leaning into the sea – it really is an idyllic setting. The surrounding area of Port de Pollença is scattered with holiday villas of all different shapes and sizes.
The Port has become so popular with the British that many decide to buy second homes here or even make it their main residence. There is a sense of comfort and safety here which is ideal for families with children.
