🌅 Living Where Others Come to Escape
Mallorca isn’t just a place — it’s a lifestyle.
Imagine waking up to golden light, walking to the local market for fresh fruit, or sipping your morning coffee while the sea sparkles nearby.
For many, this isn’t just a dream; it’s a goal. But before making it reality, there’s one question everyone asks:
How much does it really cost to live in Mallorca in 2025?
🏡 Housing: The Heart of Your Lifestyle
The cost of living in Mallorca largely depends on where and how you want to live.
In Palma, expect to pay between €1,500 and €2,500 per month for a stylish two-bedroom apartment.
In Pollença or the island’s north, where life moves more slowly, you’ll find charming houses starting around €1,200.
And in the island’s peaceful interior villages, you can still find authentic homes from around €900 per month.
If you’re planning to buy, property prices range from €4,000 to €7,000 per square meter, depending on the location.
Restored fincas in rural areas remain highly sought after — offering space, privacy, and that timeless Mediterranean beauty.
💬 “In Mallorca, luxury isn’t measured in square meters, but in views, light, and tranquility.”
🍷 Food, Flavor, and the Joy of Living
Mediterranean life is about savoring moments.
A coffee with an ensaïmada by the sea may cost around €5, while a local lunch menu costs €15–20, and a gourmet dinner in Palma can reach €60 per person.
Groceries for one person average €400–500 per month, though local markets tempt you to spend a little extra — for the smell of fresh bread or the taste of olive oil made just a few kilometers away.
🚗 Getting Around the Island
Most residents prefer having a car to explore freely.Fuel costs about €1.70 per liter, and annual insurance ranges from €400–700.Public transport in Palma is efficient, with monthly passes around €45, and electric bikes are increasingly popular in coastal areas.
🌞 The Hidden Cost: Wellbeing
What can’t be calculated is the feeling of waking up surrounded by sea and sunlight.
Mallorca’s greatest value lies in its lifestyle: safety, climate, culture, and the rare luxury of time.
It’s not just where you live — it’s how you live.
💶 Estimated Monthly Cost (for a couple in 2025)

🌿 More Than a Destination — a Way of Life
Living in Mallorca isn’t just a financial decision — it’s an emotional one.
Here, days are slower, food tastes better, and life feels richer.
When you find the home that matches who you are, the numbers fade, and what remains is the feeling of belonging.
