Why buying property in Mallorca is more than an investment
When most people think of Mallorca, they picture turquoise waters, golden beaches and sunny terraces. But behind the postcard views lies something even more valuable: an island with one of the strongest economies in Spain, fueled by record-breaking tourism and a resilient real estate market.
At Isla Homes we believe Mallorca isn’t just a holiday destination, it’s a lifestyle upgrade and a smart property investment.
Mallorca tourism: The powerhouse for growth
The numbers don’t lie. In the first seven months of 2025, the Balearic Islands welcomed 8.99 million visitors, generating €11.62 billion in spending, that’s a 4.8% increase compared to 2024 (source: INE).
Since Mallorca accounts for around 72% of all arrivals, that means approximately 8 million visitors and an estimated €8.3 billion in tourism spending on this island alone.
In July 2025, records were broken again with over 2.56 million international tourists visiting the Balearics and €3.83 billion spent in just one month. The average tourist spent €1.493 during their stay, showing that Mallorca’s tourism industry is stronger than ever.
A strong and stable economy
Tourism represents nearly 45% of Mallorca’s GDP, making it the backbone of the island’s economy. But what makes the island even more attractive is the stability of its real estate market:
The Balearics GDP grew by 4% in 2024, outperforming Spain’s national average of 2.5%.
Mallorca real estate prices in prime areas grew by 5–8% in 2024, with continued growth forecasted into 2026.
Strict building regulations limit new developments, ensuring high demand and scarce supply. It’s the perfect formula for long-term value growth.
For international buyers, this means Mallorca combines lifestyle with secure property investment opportunities.
Why invest in property in Mallorca?
For property buyers, these numbers create real opportunities:
