One-of-a-kind historic Country Estate

The south-west - varied and glamorous

Majorca's south-west is a region of fascinating contradictions. The spectacular mountains of the sparsely populated Sierra de Tramuntana contrast with the modern but romantic villages on the coast. The terraces of the villas and apartments in the hills offer breathtaking panoramic views of both sea and mountains. The coast is lined with turquoise-coloured bays, marinas of all sizes, lively villages and a scattering of offshore islets. This is a paradise, especially for boat-owners. But fans of other sports will also find what they are looking for: golf courses, tennis clubs and diving centres are all to be found here. On top of that, a host of excellent restaurants serving Mediterranean and international cuisine offer delicious meals in a relaxed atmosphere. Very popular too are the seaside towns of Puerto Andratx, Puerto Portals and Port Adriano.

Stylish boutiques, pavement cafés, yacht brokers and gourmet restaurants rub shoulders here. The distinctive charm of the island remains just the same: fishermen carry on doing their jobs, music and a whiff of local specialities drift out of tapas bars. Without any doubt, savoir-vivre is part of everyday life here. Santa Ponsa, Paguera or Illetas are also lively places. The beautiful, family -friendly beaches, the colourful night-life and the vast range of sports, restaurants and shopping give them an irresistible feel. If you are looking for something a little quieter, you will prefer places like Calviá, Sol de Mallorca, Cala Vinyas, Bendinat or Andratx where you can go hill-walking, cycling, play golf or just relax and enjoy nature.

The south-west coast is a modern, developed region offering excellent facilities: schools, doctors and shopping facilities are all within easy reach. Thanks to its location, amenities and the varied range of leisure options available there, the south-west is probably the most popular part of the island, with the highest, most stable property prices. Whether you own a holiday home or live here permanently you can enjoy all the advantages of the pleasant Majorca lifestyle.
