Divided from the rest of the island by the Serra de Tramuntana mountain range, this coast is not as easily accessible as many other parts of Mallorca, although this situation has been improved in recent years. Being more remote is probably one reason why this part of the island has become so popular with the worlds rich and famous.
Deia is a small, picturesque coastal village and has been famous for many years for its literary and musical inhabitants. More recently, famous owners here include Richard Branson, and Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones.
This is a very desirable little village to own property in, though being small, properties dont become available very often and when they do they are usually snapped up very quickly for the top dollar. So finding a Mallorca property for sale here is difficult, to say the least! The best way to get in with the crowd is to visit the 20 or so restaurants and bars around the village, and do a bit of star-spotting!
For a slightly better chance of finding a Mallorca property for sale, you can try nearby Soller and Port de Soller. Soller is the original town, set back a mile or so away from the coast and has retained some of its old buildings, many of which are art nouveau. Port de Soller is a newer resort village, set around a horseshoe bay though doesnt have much of a beach to speak of. The village is more popular as a base for walking and cycling in the mountains and you can easily journey between Soller and Port Soller via the tramway which links them.
A couple of miles from Soller are the very traditional villages of Fornalutx and Biniaraix. The two villages are pretty much untouched by tourism and are therefore popular for those seeking very traditional Mallorca property for sale. Unfortunately properties dont come onto the market very often here either!
Further south along this coast, at the south west tip of Mallorca youll find the ancient town of Andratx. This is another town where you could find the rich and famous as your neighbour. Until recently the town was just inhabited by Mallorcans but its been discovered by the likes of Tom Cruise and Michael Schumacher over recent years and, like Deia, is a very desirable place to own property. Fortunately it hasnt yet been discovered by the major tour operators so if youre looking for somewhere far from the maddening crowds this could be it! Youre also more likely to find Mallorca property for sale here too.
