Proximity to the International Airport, fast connections to Palma and good sports facilities has put the southern corner of the island on the radar with potential buyers in the last couple of years.
The main attractions for buyers (the majority are mainly German with growing interest from France, Spain and the Netherlands) is that they can get more property for their money with prices for apartments starting from 280,000 euros in areas such as Cala Pi, rising to 500,000 along the most popular part of the coastline at Son Veri Nou and Bellavista, where the exclusive designer hotel, Cap Rocat is located.;
Llucmajor has top sports facilities including three golf courses; Golf Maoris, Son Antem and Son Gual and it’s also popular with hikers (there are six official hiking routes) and cyclists due to the 400 Km of cycling routes, which makes it popular as a winter training base for international cycling teams. In addition, there are two marinas and sailing clubs in the region at S’Estanyol and Arenal where Olympic medallists, such as Ben Ainslie, have trained and competed.
Llucmajor is the capital of this region which is the largest municipality in Mallorca, located 15 km from the airport with a total of 16 towns and villages plus 45 Km of coastline including the coastal areas of Son Veri, Cala Blava and all the way to S’Estanyol.
According to Christina Deutsch, Managing Partner, Engel & Völkers Central & South: “Over the past five years, sales transactions have doubled and last year we saw an increase in sales of 6.5% over 2017. We also witnessed a marked increase in the average price of property which is mainly due to the limited supply of property along the coast and increased demand."
