Why Buy Property in Calvia?
Calvià is the municipality with the longest coastline in Mallorca, along the southwest of the island from the cliffs above Andratx to the beaches of Palmanova. It is not a single location: it includes more than a dozen communities, each with its own character, price level and buyer profile. These are the features that matter to a buyer:
- Access: within 20 minutes of Palma Airport, with direct motorway access to Palma.
- Marinas: Puerto Portals and Port Adriano are two of the most established marinas on the island.
- Variety of communities: from the inland old town to coastal villages, golf areas and residential enclaves.
- Year-round infrastructure: several international schools and the amenities that rural parts of Mallorca lack.
- International demand: consistent international demand across the municipality.

- Plots: see plots for sale in Calvià. Check what can be built before buying.
Market Trends
Apartments are growing faster than houses in the last 12 months, while house prices are almost flat at an already high level. Because the municipality is so varied, it is more useful to compare properties within the same community and type.

Buying Process in Mallorca
The general purchase process is the same as elsewhere in Mallorca. In Calvià, buyers should first decide which community they are buying into, as prices, buyer profiles and rules differ, and pay attention to the legal status of villas, pools and extensions.
Legal Steps
- Obtain an NIE (foreigner identification number).
- Make an offer and sign the reservation agreement.
- Carry out due diligence: ownership, charges, licences and building status.
- Sign the private purchase contract and pay the deposit.
- Sign the deed in front of a notary and pay the remaining amount.
- Register the property in the Land Registry.
Taxes and Fees
Buyers must budget for transfer tax (ITP) on resale properties, or VAT and stamp duty (AJD) on new builds, plus notary, registry and legal fees. Rates and thresholds change, so confirm the current figures with your lawyer before making an offer.
Financing
Non-resident buyers can apply for a mortgage in Spain. Banks usually finance a lower percentage than for residents, so check the conditions before signing the reservation agreement.
Timeline
The time between the reservation agreement and the deed depends on the documentation and the financing, and is normally a matter of weeks to a few months.
Investment Potential in Calvia
Rental Yields and Tourist Licence
Holiday rental requires a tourist licence (ETV), and new licences are difficult to obtain, so investors look for properties that already hold a transferable licence. Demand is stronger on the coast than in the inland old town. We do not offer yield promises: income depends on the property, the season and the licence.
Resale Value Drivers
Location within the municipality, views, proximity to the sea, a marina or a golf course, plot size and condition are the main factors that affect resale value.
Things to Know Before Buying in Calvia
- Choose the community first: Calvià is not a single market: prices change a lot between areas.
- Legal status: make sure that houses, pools and extensions are legal and match the registry.
- Tourist licence (ETV): check that it exists and that it is transferable.
- Community fees: apartments, townhouses and urbanisations have community costs.
- Running costs: pools, gardens and large plots need regular maintenance.
- Coastal areas: properties close to the sea may be affected by coastal regulations.
