Balearhouse has helped me in a fantastic way with the purchase of my house on Mallorca. Really everything was shipshape but more importantly for me is that if I need so- mething now in or around the house or if I have to arrange anything with the authorities they are always there to help us. Nothing but praise for the personal attention and the good service that Balearhouse offers. Best regards.

Purchasing a property in Mallorca was a dream my family and I have had for a long time however the daunting task of dealing with agents, solicitors and unknown laws and regulations meant we kept it on the backburner for some time. That was until we were recommended Jesus Calvo and his team at Balearhouse. We decided to go on the recommendation and it was a decision we did not regret. From the first contact we felt we were in expert hands. Walking into their downtown Palma office was always a pleasure. The team were so welcoming and we were made to feel special. They carefully listened to our requirements and gave impartial advice that we were so glad to have listened to. We really got a sound understanding of what Mallorca living with a family was like and how to enhance the experience for our whole family. Their advice was invaluable and dealing with Balearhouse certainly came as a refreshing change to any agents we had previously been in contact with. They found our perfect property and exceeded our expectations of the role of a real estate agent. Jesus and his team go above and beyond for their clients and this is not just our experience, it seems everyone who has dealt with them sing their praises for their professional, knowledgeable and unique approach. Thank you so much for making our Mallorca journey an exciting and stress free experience.

I really appreciate the opportunity which in this case gave me the football, to arrive to Mallorca, an incredible and unique place for my family.
It is a pleasure to direct and dedicate these words to Jesus and Ilka who I thank very much for the reception and the treatment we received since we arrived in 2007 until today, today we do not reside there but we have the security and tranquility that our investment is very well looked after and taken care of. Thank you very much for the human touch, for being so professional and making us grow towards you. Today we are living in Argentina but we are always thinking and looking for a date to go visit them in Mallorca. Balearhouse is what a family needs to relax and enjoy this wonderful island that is MALLORCA.

Simply a few lines to express our gratitude to Mr. Jesús Mari Calvo, for his work, professionalism and dedication which he has offered us in every moment from the start to the finish of the purchase process of our property.
During our purchasing process we have obviously been in touch with various establishments dedicated to the sale of properties, and for this reason we believe to be in the position to claim that we have never been in contact with any person as friendly, gentleman like and professional and who would be available in every moment, as Jesús Mari Calvo, representing the company Balearhouse.
Due to what has been mentioned before, we would like to express our most sincere gratitude towards Mr. Jesús Calvo and of course, we will without a single doubt contact Jesús in the future if we plan to sell any of our other properties as much as we are looking forward to communicate to everyone in our close circle to get in touch with him if they have a property for sale or on the other side, are looking for a property to buy or rent; if they want to settle down on the island they will not find on the market more professionalism, responsibility, attention, etc. which this gentleman will offer you with certainty.

Since the first moment I contacted Jesús, I was convinced by his attention to detail, availability and of course professionalism. With the time we spend with him, the treatment could not have been better.
It is very easy to enjoy and talk about an island like Mallorca, it nearly obliges you to fall in love with it; but meeting professionals who make you feel at ease is not quite such a given factor. Trust and loyalty are values which are very hard to find.

Para mi y mi familia, hablar de Balearhouse es hablar no solo de una empresa pero tambien de una de las partes mas importantes de la vida, que es la amistad. Llegamos en 2006 a la isla por motivos de trabajo, y con Jesus e Ilka aparte del trato profesional que se les reconoce, hemos tenido el placer y la fortuna de solventar una amistad que todavia perdura y se mantiene. Por estos motivos, solo puedo recomendar a Balearhouse a todos los que necesitan un trato especial y distinto…

Back in 2008, when our son Mario was signed for RCD Mallorca Football Club, we met Jesus Maria Calvo and a special bond was created between our families. Jesus is Co-Founder and Co-owner of Balearhouse Estate Agents and cherry picked the perfect place so that Mario together with our friends and family could enjoy time in Mallorca.
The other fundamental partner of this successful company is Ilka, Jesus’s wife and joint owner. Ilka is a level-headed and caring person, but most of all not only dedicated to her work but also to her family and certainly a necessary and complementary asset to the company. Jesus is lucky to have her at his side.
Jesus and Ilka, Ilka and Jesus, such a well-paired and inseparable tandem intrinsic to Balearhouse. Jesus is the front man and public relations par excellence and the trustworthy Ilka, responsible for the smooth running behind the scenes.
What’s more with the professional and experienced staff that make up the Balearhouse team, I can highly recommend the wide range of property services that they offer.
In fact, recently we have called upon their services for 3 different property transactions on the Island. As always Balearhouse gave a valuable and professional service.
I sincerely wish Ilka, Jesus and al the team a long life and a lot of success.

For me Balearhouse marked a before and after in my life… I arrived for work at Mallorca 9 years ago and from the 1st day the friendliness and availability of Jesus and Ilka surprised me. They found immediately the house that suited my needs and from there everything went through on their part: a cleaning lady, they looked after the house when I was not there etc , etc … I was two years in Mallorca , but since then I spend all my summers on the island, and of course I have Balearhouse to help me rent a house, boat, etc , etc … ! Already for some time they are special persons for me, great friends and of course, when someone needs something in the Balearic Islands I put them in contact with Balearhouse. A big hug and thank you very much for everything!

Palma and its surroundings are among the most sought-after locations for luxury property in Mallorca. Other areas across the Balearic archipelago also feature regularly in the portfolio of specialist high-end agencies.
The timeframe depends on the complexity of the transaction, property availability and the legal and notarial procedures involved. Working with a team specialised in the local market can significantly speed up the process.
Physical presence is not required at every stage. A legal representative with notarial power of attorney can act on the buyer's behalf, although visiting the property before formalising the purchase is standard practice.
The luxury market in Mallorca attracts both national and international buyers with high purchasing power, interested in primary residences, holiday homes or investment properties across the Balearic Islands.
Mallorca combines a high-quality property offering, an outstanding climate, strong international connectivity and a stable market with sustained demand. These factors make it one of the most established luxury real estate destinations in the Mediterranean.
Yes, mortgage financing is available in Spain for both residents and non-residents, though terms vary depending on the buyer's profile and the lending institution. Specialist advisory support can simplify this process considerably.
Mallorca offers a wide range of luxury rentals, including villas, penthouses, apartments and rural estates, both in Palma and across the island. Options span high-end residential and holiday rentals.
The peak season for luxury holiday rentals in Mallorca runs from June to September. Long-term residential rentals, however, maintain active demand throughout the year.
Properties used for tourist rentals in the Balearic Islands must hold a valid tourist licence. Regional regulations set specific requirements depending on the property type and location.
Mallorca is one of the most sought-after holiday destinations in the Mediterranean, which supports strong rental yields for luxury properties, particularly during peak season. Profitability depends on location, property characteristics and rental management.
Holiday rentals are designed for short-term stays, mainly during the tourist season, and require a specific licence. Residential rentals involve longer-term contracts and are governed by Spanish tenancy law.
Yes, both EU and non-EU citizens can rent properties in Mallorca without specific restrictions. Given the international profile of the market, it is common for the process to be handled in multiple languages.
For residential rentals, proof of financial solvency, official identification and a contract compliant with Spanish legislation are typically required. Requirements may vary depending on the rental type and the landlord.
Pricing is based on location, floor area, quality of finishes, views, included services and season. In the luxury segment, the exclusivity of the area and distinctive property features carry significant weight.
The service covers guidance on buying, selling and renting properties across the Balearic archipelago, tailored to each client's profile and objectives. It includes personalised support throughout the entire process.
The Balearic property market has its own characteristics, including specific tourist rental regulations, high competition in the luxury segment and very active international demand. Local expertise is essential for making well-informed decisions.

Specialist real estate advisory in the Balearic Islands covers guidance on the documentary and tax aspects related to each transaction. For strictly legal or tax matters, working alongside a lawyer or tax advisor is also recommended.
Mallorca is one of Europe's most established luxury property markets, with consistent international demand and limited supply in its most exclusive areas. These conditions support long-term asset stability and appreciation.
Second-hand property purchases in Mallorca are subject to Transfer Tax, while new-build properties are subject to VAT and Stamp Duty. Applicable rates may vary depending on the property value.
The luxury real estate market in Mallorca maintains sustained demand, driven primarily by European buyers. Supply in prime areas is limited, which continues to support prices in the high-end segment.
Palma is home to several high-demand zones for the luxury segment, including the historic centre, the seafront promenade and exclusive residential areas. Proximity to the sea, services and connectivity are the most valued factors by international buyers.
The Balearic Islands have specific regional regulations governing holiday rentals, including licence requirements, designated rental zones and eligible property types. It is essential to verify the regulatory status of a property before purchasing it for holiday rental purposes.
The Balearic Islands face intense international demand, restrictive urban planning regulations and limited supply in the most exclusive locations. These factors make the Balearic market, and especially the luxury segment, operate differently from the broader Spanish property market.
The decision depends on intended use, the time horizon and the client's financial profile. Buying offers stability and appreciation potential, while renting provides flexibility without a long-term investment commitment.
A specialist with local market knowledge provides access to available and off-market properties, along with guidance on legal, tax and negotiation aspects. This reduces risk and optimises the outcome of the transaction.
Holiday rental can generate higher gross yields during peak season but requires a tourist licence and active management. Residential rental offers more stable income with lower management demands and less exposure to seasonal fluctuations.
Mallorca stands out for its international connectivity, the depth of its luxury property market and the stability of its year-round demand. Compared to other Mediterranean destinations, it offers a balanced combination of exclusivity, infrastructure and legal certainty.
