The neighbourhood
What Cala Major is
Cala Major, also written Cala Mayor, lies on the bay west of Palma, on the road out towards Illetes and Portals, and it has a sand beach of its own. The city is behind it and the coast road runs through it.
We are not holding a property in Cala Major today. The closest we hold are one neighbourhood back along the same coast, above Porto Pi and on the slope of La Bonanova, and a screening reaches every agent who does hold something here.
Who buys here
The buyer this neighbourhood suits
Buyers who want the beach in daily life rather than at the end of a drive, and for whom a short ride into Palma is part of the arrangement rather than a problem. It is a practical address more than a prestigious one, which is precisely why some buyers choose it.
The homes
What the buildings are
Apartment buildings along the bay, most of them with terraces towards the water, and villas on the slopes above them.
What it costs

Three things that apply wherever you buy
- The tax page
The transfer tax
A resale property in the Balearics carries transfer tax, ITP, in bands: 8 per cent up to 400.000 €, rising to 13 per cent above 2.000.000 €, with stamp duty of 1,5 to 2 per cent on top. A new build carries 10 per cent VAT instead of ITP.
- The purchase process
Securing the property
When the terms are agreed the home is secured through an Arras, a private contract between the two parties, usually written by the buyer's lawyer, with ten per cent of the price deposited into the notary account and deducted from the final payment.
- The new rules
The agent register
Law 3/2024 requires every estate agent in the Balearics to be entered in the official register, ROAIIB, and to carry that registration number in every contract. Ours is GOIBE605090/2024.
