Overview
- Mallorca brokers report a surge in high-end booking requests since the Middle East escalation, with demand clustering around Easter and Pentecost.
- Top villas in prime areas such as Son Vida, Puerto Andratx and Santa Ponsa are being marketed at up to €100,000 per week, including a reported €2,800-per-night rental to Swiss clients.
- Industry groups say purchase inquiries are rising for €2–5 million homes, drawing interest from Gulf buyers and Europeans who had shifted their base to Dubai.
- The rerouting is linked to instability around Dubai, with reports of Iranian strikes, temporary airspace closures and affluent residents leaving by private jet.
- Experts caution that the boom may be short-lived given Dubai’s tax advantages, and local voices highlight added pressure on residents’ housing; a Palma–Abu Dhabi direct flight has been reported as a possible connector later this year.
