Property GuideWest of Mallorca

The largest town in the western region is Sóller. This town sits in a large, semi-circle valley that also includes the villages Fornalutx, Biniaraix and Binibassí. A town house for sale in Sóller is one of the most sought-after property options on the island and they generally have a very handsome price-tag! Little Fornalutx is regularly voted one of the most beautiful villages in Spain, and due to its size, the market for a house for sale here is very limited and they are snapped up immediately when they appear on the sales market. Lovely fincas are dotted along the route between Sóller town and Puerto de Sóller with its gorgeous beach and yacht harbour. Here in the port, many villas for sale are perched on a cliff top and offer spectacular views over the pretty bay and to the open sea. Both the town and the port offer a large selection of shops, restaurants and cafés and there is a pleasant mixture of nationalities in both locations.

Valldemossa and Deià are the other two important villages to visit in the west. Both are dripping with history and culture, famous artists and writers have always taken up their homes in one of these charming traditional places, properties for sale in Valldemossa or Deiá are very expensive and highly sought-after. Chances are that if you decide to have a coffee in one of these village centres, you may spot a famous actor or musician taking a stroll around town!

Properties for sale in the West

The property selection is fantastic here in this region, apart from the lovely stone-faced fincas for sale there are quite a number of historic country estates in the Tramuntana boasting fabulous sea views, some being converted into luxury rural hotels.
