The Mediterranean diet and lifestyle are often considered the healthiest in the world. Fresh food, plus sun, sand, and sea are good for the soul and the slow pace is great for our health. The island of Mallorca offers the essence of the Mediterranean, with 300 sunny days and almost as many beaches decorating its 500-kilometre shoreline. At Engel & Völkers, we have a wide range of properties close to the sea so that you can enjoy the coastal way of life everyone dreams of.
Portixol - Seafront luxury close to Palma
Let's start near the island's capital, Palma, in the former fishing village of Portixol, with its beautiful beaches, lively cafés, and excellent restaurants. Portixol and the neighboring Es Molinar, which can be reached on foot or by bike from Palma, are highly sought-after residential areas. Here, you can enjoy pure relaxation with the sound of the waves in the background.
Camp de Mar - Sophisticated seaside living in the Southwest
We continue to the west coast, to Camp de Mar, just before the exclusive marina of Port de Andratx. The crescent-shaped sandy beach is surrounded by beautiful nature and is close to other coves and hiking trails. The most famous restaurant in this area is probably Illeta, which at first glance appears to float on the sea but is actually connected to the shore by a narrow pier. Discover our properties in Camp de Mar, just a few minutes' walk from the sandy beach and the Andratx golf course.
Portals Vells - A maritime Mediterranean lifestyle
Also in the southwest of the island, between El Toro and Cala Vinyes, lies Portals Vells, another stunning cove with a small marina and a beachside restaurant overlooking the turquoise sea. In the Sol de Mallorca area, there are several other beautiful beaches, such as Playa del Mago and Playa del Rei. Properties in this location offer magnificent views over the cove and the vast green area of Portals Vells.
Portocolom - Idyllic beaches and shorefront homes in the Southeast
The former fishing village of Portocolom on the southeast coast of Mallorca is a small paradise with a relaxed atmosphere, an idyllic cove, and a harbor that delights with its colorful boats, traditional fishermen's houses, and the lighthouse. The beach of S'Arenal is one of the most beautiful beaches of this picturesque harbor town, and the slightly more secluded S'Algar beach is also nearby. Properties in this region often feature charming Ibizan style and spacious living areas, with many offering spectacular views of the sea and the surrounding landscape. The peaceful location of Portocolom makes it an ideal year-round residence, while still providing all the daily amenities and a variety of restaurants, cafés, and shops in close proximity. The proximity to the sea and the possibility of direct water access make properties here particularly attractive, both for personal use and investment.
Playa de Alcúdia - Natural beauty in the remote North
Let's head to Alcúdia in the north of the island: here you'll find the largest horseshoe-shaped bay in Europe. Playa de Alcúdia is a family-friendly, 3.5-kilometer-long beach with white sand, awarded the Blue Flag. Just one kilometer inland is the historic town of Alcúdia, which, with its history, culture, and vibrant atmosphere, invites visitors to stay year-round. Then there's the charming harbor town of Puerto Alcúdia, with its marina for boating enthusiasts. Alcanada is an exclusive residential area outside the port, featuring a romantic coastline, private beach, and lighthouse. Engel & Völkers offers everything from traditional townhouses to idyllic fincas and magnificent sea-front villas, whether modern or Mediterranean.
