Why Buy Property in Palma Nova?
Palma Nova is a coastal resort in the municipality of Calvià, in the southwest of Mallorca, beside Magaluf, with three beaches and a long tradition of international buyers. It should not be confused with the island capital, Palma de Mallorca. These are the features that matter to a buyer:
- Beaches: three beaches and beach walkways.
- Open all year: many restaurants and facilities stay open all year round.
- Golf: several golf courses within easy driving distance.
- International buyers: a long-standing market among British buyers and expats.
- Variety of properties: apartments, developments, villas and beachfront properties.

Buying Process in Mallorca
The general purchase process is the same as elsewhere in Mallorca. In Palma Nova, buyers should pay particular attention to community rules and fees for apartments, coastal regulations for beachfront properties and, for investment purchases, the existing tourist licence.
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 Palma Nova
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. We do not offer yield promises: income depends on the property, the season and the licence.
Resale Value Drivers
Distance to the beach, views, the quality of the building or development, outdoor space and condition are the main factors that affect resale value.
Things to Know Before Buying in Palma Nova
- Community fees: apartments and developments have community costs and rules.
- Coastal areas: beachfront properties may be affected by coastal regulations.
- 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.
- Properties to renovate: renovation works need permissions and a budget.
- Energy certificate: required for the sale.
