The neighbourhood
What Son Vida is
Son Vida, located in the hills just outside Palma, is one of Mallorca's most exclusive and prestigious neighbourhoods. It is home to sprawling estates, bespoke villas and private residences, with tree-lined streets, lush green spaces and a golf course in the middle of it.
Living in Son Vida means a peaceful retreat that is still only minutes away from high-end dining, boutiques and the cultural charm of Palma's old town. Both of the properties we hold here are secret listings, which is how this part of the city usually trades.
Who buys here
The buyer this neighbourhood suits
Buyers for whom privacy is the product. Nobody looks for a home in Son Vida on a portal, because the owners who sell here do not advertise. What is bought is a plot, a view and a gate, and the house on it is frequently rebuilt to the new owner's brief.
The homes
What the buildings are
Estates rather than houses. One of ours is a renovation project on two adjacent urban plots, the first of 4.500 m² carrying a villa of 1.500 m² built in an oriental architectural style. The other is a family mansion, one of the largest estates in Son Vida, with a private spa and gym, views over the golf course and room to extend by roughly 250 m².

What it costs
10.000.000 €to26.000.000 €
The lowest and the highest of the 2 homes we are holding in Son Vida today, reference W133 and reference W138. These are asking prices in our own portfolio, not a market average. Transfer tax, notary and legal fees come on top.
Both are secret listings. The area and the reference are all that is public. The dossier, the photographs and the terms follow after a consultation.

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.
