Luxury homes and villas in Menorca
Menorca is the last of the Balearics bought out of conviction rather than fashion. A UNESCO Biosphere Reserve since 1993, with planning laws that deliberately protect its coastline, the island offers what Mallorca and Ibiza no longer can: genuine scarcity. Quality inventory is limited by design, tourist rental licences have become an increasingly rare asset, and the finest properties seldom reach the portals.
I work Menorca with local insight and a private network — from Mahón's harbour and S'Altra Banda to the historic centre of Ciutadella and the country estates of the interior. Part of my portfolio is never published. If you are looking for something specific, tell me.

Buying in Menorca as an international buyer
The Spanish purchase process is straightforward when properly prepared. You will need an NIE (foreigner identification number), obtainable through a consulate or in Spain, and a Spanish bank account for completion payments. The usual sequence is reservation, private purchase contract (typically with a 10% deposit), and completion before a notary — six to twelve weeks in total.
Acquisition costs in the Balearics run between 10% and 13% on top of the purchase price, mainly transfer tax (ITP, charged progressively) on resale properties, or VAT plus stamp duty on new builds, along with notary and registry fees.
I accompany every transaction with lawyers specialised in foreign buyers, full due diligence — charges, licences, planning status — and tax coordination where the purchase is structured through a company. Where a property holds a tourist rental licence, I verify its validity and transferability before exchange: in Menorca, it is a decisive component of value.
Frequently asked questions
Menorca offers a less saturated market, comparatively reasonable prices per square metre, and territorial protection that guarantees the island will never be overdeveloped. For buyers seeking long-term value and genuine privacy, Menorca speaks for itself.
Decisive. Tourist licences are capped and new grants are scarce, so a property with a valid licence carries significant additional value and the option of premium holiday-rental income.
It depends on your profile. Mahón harbour and S'Altra Banda for sea views, moorings and amenities; Ciutadella for historic character; Sant Lluís and Es Castell for residential villas close to everything; the interior — Alaior, Es Mercadal, Ferreries — for country estates with land and absolute privacy.
Budget an additional 10% to 13%: progressive transfer tax on resales (or VAT plus stamp duty on new builds), notary, registry and legal fees. I prepare an exact breakdown before any offer.
Yes. You only need an NIE and a Spanish bank account, both obtainable within weeks. I handle the entire process remotely if needed, including video viewings and completion by power of attorney.
Yes. Part of my Menorca portfolio is off-market at the owners' request. Tell me what you are looking for — area, budget, requirements — and I will present options privately.
