A large swimming pool and a spacious outdoor terrace are also some of the features of the villa-type houses of Portixol.

Who would not enjoy a flat with a balcony and sea views? Are you thinking of buying a small but beautiful property on the Balearic island of Mallorca? If you want to buy a flat, we recommend the old fishing village of Portixol.
Are you looking for a very exclusive flat? The luxury residential complexes and superb flats on Carrer Joan Maragall are highly recommended. These luxury flats have views of the sea and the beautiful sandy beach of Portixol a few steps away.
The most popular flats have a rooftop pool and fantastic panoramic views, as well as high quality interior design.
For smaller budgets, there are beautiful flats in the heart of Portixol, most of which even have a rental licence. Unfortunately, it is practically impossible to obtain new tourist licences for properties located in the first line of the sea. If you only use your flat as a holiday home or as a second home, you’ll have the opportunity to rent it out profitably in your absence.
Another point in favour of flats as opposed to a finca or a house is the lower maintenance costs. For example, there is no need for gardening, as there is no garden to maintain and cleaning is also quicker than in a finca.
