Mallorca remains an attractive place for a secondary residence
Because of the mild climate and the benefits of a Mediterranean lifestyle, Mallorca attracts a lot of people from the German-speaking countries, United Kingdom and Scandinavia to buy themselves a secondary residence on the island. Especially sea view properties are preferred as holiday homes or retirement residence. While the potential buyer from the German-speaking countries and United Kingdom primarily focus their real estate search on the southwest of the island, many Scandinavians are still very interested in Palma. Here, it is especially the Santa Catalina district in the old town of Palma, which is preferred by Swedes.
