Sea-view villas here often sell for between five and ten million euros, with premium properties regularly exceeding that figure.

Apartments in quality developments start from around \u20ac500,000 and can reach just over \u20ac1,000,000. Detached villas typically range from one-and-a-half to four-and-a-half million euros, while exceptional homes in Port d\u2019Andratx or Bendinat can exceed five million euros. Over the past five years, average property values have increased by around forty-five per cent, driven by robust international demand.<\/p>\n<h3>Where are the best golf courses located?<\/h3>\n<p>The south-west is the main golfing hub of Mallorca. Courses such as Golf Santa Ponsa, the T Golf &amp; Country Club in Calvi\u00e0, the Real Golf de Bendinat and the Golf de Andratx in Camp de Mar are all within a short drive of each other.
