Buying property in Bendinat
Bendinat is a compact, leafy residential enclave between Palma and Puerto Portals, best known for the Real Golf de Bendinat course and the castle that gives the area its name. It is one of the most consistently sought-after addresses on the island: close enough to Palma for a fifteen-minute commute, yet quiet, green and low-density.
The housing stock is a mix of established villas on generous plots, townhouse communities and well-managed apartment developments, many with sea glimpses towards the Bay of Palma. Because the area is small and fully built, supply is limited and turnover is low — properties here tend to stay in families for years.
Life in Bendinat
Bendinat is defined by calm: golf in the morning, the beaches and restaurants of Illetas next door, Puerto Portals' marina five minutes away. Several international schools are within a short drive, which makes the area a favourite of relocating families. Palma's old town, dining and cultural life are close enough to use on any weekday evening.
The property market in Bendinat
This is a premium micro-market with structurally scarce supply. Apartments in the established communities provide the entry level, while detached villas — particularly those bordering the golf course or with sea views — trade at levels comparable with the island's best addresses. Quality of renovation matters greatly here, as much of the stock was built decades ago and commands very different values depending on condition.
Who is Bendinat for?
- Buyers who want proximity to Palma without living in the city
- Families prioritising international schools and a safe, quiet setting
- Golfers seeking a home beside an established course
- Buyers who value scarcity and long-term stability over new-build glamour
Frequently asked questions
How close is Bendinat to Palma and the airport?
Palma's centre is roughly fifteen minutes by car and the airport about twenty to twenty five minutes, making Bendinat one of the most convenient premium areas on the island.
Is there much new construction in Bendinat?
Very little. The area is essentially fully developed, so most opportunities are renovations or replacement builds on existing plots — one reason well-renovated homes command a clear premium.
