Andratx is the westernmost municipality of Mallorca, where the Serra de Tramuntana meets the sea. This guide looks at property for sale in Andratx: the inland town and its countryside, the coastal villages, the type of homes and the checks to make before buying or selling.
What Andratx is like
The town of Andratx lies inland in a valley of almond, olive and carob trees, with the mountains rising behind it. It keeps the character of a working Mallorcan town, with a weekly market and local shops.
The municipality also includes the harbour of Port d’Andratx, the bay of Camp de Mar, the village of Sant Elm facing the island of Sa Dragonera and the small village of S’Arracó. The Ma-1 motorway from Palma ends near the town, and the Ma-10 mountain road starts here on its way north along the coast.
Types of property in Andratx
In the town there are traditional townhouses and village houses. In the valleys around it you will find country houses and fincas on rural land, and on the coast a mix of apartments, townhouses and villas, many with sea views.
Whatever the type of home, the condition of the property, its orientation, its outdoor space and the state of its documents make a real difference to its value and to how easy it is to sell. Before you compare properties for sale in Andratx, it is worth knowing what to look out for.
What to check before buying in Andratx
- Rural land around the town and in the mountains: licences and legal status of every building.
- Part of the municipality is within the protected Serra de Tramuntana area, which can limit works.
- Coastal properties: possible Coastal Law limitations.
- Holiday rental licences and their registration.
- The nota simple from the Land Registry, the IBI receipt and, if there is one, the community of owners’ certificate of no debts.
Never sign an arras contract or pay a deposit before these points have been checked. It is much easier to solve a problem, or walk away, before you are committed.
