So you’re looking at buying a Villa in Mallorca but you’re not sure which Mallorca Villas or more importantly what areas to choose then why not take a closer look at Puerto Andratx and Deia.

PUERTO ANDRATX

Puerto Andratx property does have some advantages over other parts of Spain with its location and lifestyle being some of them.

Puerto Andratx property for sale in Spain is pretty close to the number one location in Mallorca with a magnificent port with luxury apartments and Villas. Realistically you need at least 400,000 to be looking at an apartment and probably more and over a Million for a townhouse or Villa.

Spanish property for Sale in Andratx represents the highest quality of Mallorca life and is not everyone choice of Spanish property. Andratx property tends to be for the very top end of the Mallorca property marketplace with stunning Villas and luxury Apartments. Puerto Andratx (Andraitx) and the town of Andratx are situated in the far south west corner of Mallorca in the municipality of Andratx which has over 7,000 inhabitants. With magnificent mountains either side of the port Andratx has become one of the most sought after areas to live in Mallorca, attracting celebrities such as Claudia Schiffer and others. The town of Andratx is inland and is very picturesque with cobbled streets and you can still see the remains of the old wall which protected the inhabitants from attack from pirates.

So if you decide to buy Puerto Andratx property in Spain the only thing to make sure of is that you choose an agent that will look after your interest and one you can trust because there have been major issues with licenses and the mayor under investigation.

DEIA

Climbing mountain paths to the high peaks of the granite Tramuntana Mountains guided by donkeys wasn’t what I had in mind when I boarded a cheap flight to Majorca. Isabella was the leader of the pack, followed a tail’s length by her young daughters Luna and Alba, with our breathless party in the distance. Donkeys have an advantage when climbing vertically in the rarefied mountain air of this lush Spanish island.

That will be the Deia: This small Mallorcan town is a nugget of mountain charm in the north of the island

Luckily, lunch had been prepared by our hotel halfway up at a scenic spot by an old stonewalled shepherd’s hut, where we could see the Mediterranean glimmering hundreds of feet below. A large table, spread with a snow-white tablecloth, groaned under the weight of local cheeses, ham, fruit and wines. Oxygen might have been more appropriate.

Our lunch had been carried in panniers strapped to saddles across the backs of Isabella, Luna and Alba, so when we caught up with them, they were made a great fuss of. In the intoxicating high altitude of the Tramuntana, exhilarated by the climb (or perhaps the wine), life felt good. I’d imagined a holiday comprising mainly of sand, sea and sangria, but in the end it was all about the donkeys. What a clever idea by La Residencia, our hotel in Deia, to offer this service as an unexpected alternative to more hedonistic pleasures.

La Residencia, or La Res as it’s known to returning guests, was once four separate mansions, all grand fincas, which lorded it over Deia when the village was a remote peasant outpost on the island’s western coast, almost a day’s journey from Palma.

Today the hotel Mercedes glides guests from the airport past the bell towers and lemon groves to Deia in 50 minutes.

Richard Branson turned La Residencia into a luxury hotel and sold it to Orient Express. It’s a sumptuous retreat for celebrities, and I’ve seen many a famous face sinking into the hotel’s heavy Spanish sofas in cool oak-beamed lounges.

Princess Diana famously took refuge at La Res when her marriage broke up, and Andrew Lloyd Webber hired the whole hotel to celebrate his 60th birthday.

With separate villas linked by secretive stone passageways, Spanish arches and tumbling olive terraces, La Res gives up its secrets slowly. It has a private beach, a great spa, three pools, complimentary yoga and tennis courts.

Star spotting: La Residencia in Deia is a luxury hideaway ideal for guests both celebrity and civilian

Deia perches precariously high above the seashore clinging to the Serra de Tramuntana, flanked by pine and cedar forests, olive groves and lemon orchards.

Labyrinthine alleys of stone houses curl up to the 14th century church with its panorama of the coast tumbling down a stream-fed valley to Cala Deia, the town’s shingle beach.

So there you have two options to choose from when it comes to Mallorca Villas. Just make sure you use an agent you can trust and who has the best distressed property sales in Mallorca.
