Palma de Mallorca · neighbourhood guide
Son Armadams
Green, quiet, and a short walk from everything the city is known for.
The neighbourhood
What Son Armadams is
Son Armadams is where our portfolio is heaviest in the city. Our own listings describe it the same way over and over: leafy, quiet and highly sought after, two blocks from Bellver Park, Palma's largest green space.
The Palma Sport & Tennis Club is the landmark the neighbourhood is measured from, and our office is next to it. From there our listings put the Paseo Marítimo and Santa Catalina at a five to ten minute walk, with the school area a short walk in the other direction.
Who buys here
The buyer this neighbourhood suits
Families and buyers who want the city without its noise. San Cayetano, Sagrada Corazón and the Lycée Français are a walk from several of our listings, and the streets are residential rather than commercial. The buyers who come here have usually looked at Santa Catalina first and decided they want the restaurants nearby rather than underneath.
The homes
What the buildings are
Two generations of building stand next to each other. Apartment blocks from the late 1950s to the early 1980s, many in good original condition or ready to be reworked, with lifts, storage rooms and terraces that take the sea. And a new-built residence completed in 2024 with private roof pools, underfloor heating, an underground garage and landscaped communal gardens.

What it costs
The lowest and the highest of the 12 homes we are holding in Son Armadams today, reference WMI104 and reference W145. These are asking prices in our own portfolio, not a market average. Transfer tax, notary and legal fees come on top.

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.
