Poland consolidates as one of the key emerging markets for luxury real estate in the Balearic Islands

The purchase of property in the Balearic Islands by citizens from Eastern Europe has experienced remarkable growth since the outbreak of the war in Ukraine in March 2022. Poland leads this wave of acquisitions on the islands, driven by the desire to have a secure home or a luxury second residence to rely on in the face of regional instability. Mallorca and Ibiza have thus established themselves as preferred destinations alongside the Canary Islands, Andalusia and the Valencian Community, especially among Central European buyers with high purchasing power seeking properties in the luxury and upper-luxury segments.

Poles arriving on the islands are predominantly self-employed or entrepreneurs. Twenty years ago they were mainly concentrated in the hospitality sector, but today many run SMEs dedicated to construction, real estate and other services. This professional profile ensures a significant capacity for investment in luxury properties, contributing to the dynamism of the Balearic real estate market.

Although Valldemossa previously held a special allure due to its association with Chopin, today Polish buyers do not show a preference for specific areas, with the possible exception of Palma. What is observed, however, is a growing desire for integration into local life and the community, reflecting a more stable and long-term approach to their investments.

An increasing number of Polish residents and tourists

In 2024, the Balearic Islands had 3,381 Polish residents, a figure that continues to grow. Additionally, more than 373,000 Polish tourists visited the islands in the same year, according to IBESTAT and Turespaña. This flow of visitors often leads to property acquisitions.
