Mallorca, the gem of the Balearic Islands, continues to stand out as the preferred destination for foreign property purchases, according to recent reports. An article from the Majorca Daily Bulletin on January 2, 2024, highlights how the island has become the epicentre of international real estate transactions, with British buyers dominating the Spanish market.
The demand for properties in Mallorca has experienced a significant boom in recent years, solidifying itself as an attractive option for those looking to invest in real estate in a paradisiacal setting. With its breathtaking landscapes, Mediterranean climate, and rich cultural offerings, it's no surprise that Mallorca attracts buyers from various nationalities.
According to the report, British buyers lead the list of foreign investors, showing particular interest in luxury properties on the island. Spain's economic stability, combined with Mallorca's unique charms, has turned the region into a magnet for those seeking a second residence or real estate investments.

This is what foreign investment in Spain looks like
Foreigners constituted 31.6% of property transactions in the Balearic Islands during the third quarter of 2023, marking the highest percentage among Spain's Autonomous Communities, as reported by pisos.com.
At the national level, this figure stands at 15.44%, the second highest on record, trailing only slightly behind the third quarter of 2022 (15.92%). Ferran Font, the head of research and spokesperson for pisos.com, highlighted the enduring allure of the Spanish real estate market within the European context.
Font emphasized that, amidst a decline in transaction numbers, foreign investors have emerged as pivotal agents in driving activity. Discussing investor profiles, he noted that British buyers have consistently been prominent in Spain, drawn by property prices, climate, and quality of life.
In the third quarter of 2023, British investors once again led the way with the highest number of foreign transactions in Spain, accounting for 10.11%. They were followed by Germans (7.01%), French (6.72%), Belgians (5.35%), and Moroccans (5.32%).
The Mediterranean coast, and particularly the Balearic Islands, remains a primary attraction for foreign investors, according to pisos.com. The Association of Registrars' latest report indicates that, during the third quarter of 2023, provinces with the highest foreign home purchases were Alicante (43.76%), Santa Cruz de Tenerife (36.58%), Malaga (35.33%), Balearics (31.69%), Gerona (30.85%), Murcia (24.83%), and Las Palmas (20.85%).
The Balearic Islands maintained the highest concentration of foreign property transactions among autonomous communities (31.69%), underscoring its significance in the foreign real estate market landscape.
