Mallorca has the longest usable season of any Mediterranean island and the most balanced. Rates are lower than Ibiza but the villa sells far more nights, and the annual arithmetic often lands in the same place.
May to October. April and November work for the right property with the right heating.
A heated pool. It genuinely extends the season by two months here, and it is the highest-return improvement on the island.
These figures benchmark a well-maintained, premium 4-bedroom villa, Mallorca. Deliberately not the ultra-prime staffed estates that inflate every published average and make owners believe things that are not true. Rates are then adjusted for bedroom count, condition, and amenities.
Bigger, better, or better-staffed villas earn more, sometimes several times more. Tired properties with a static price and a passive listing earn considerably less. That gap is not luck. It is management.
A well-maintained four-bedroom villa in Mallorca grosses roughly €72,700 to €96,900 a year. That figure comes from 80 nights actually sold at €950 in high season and 55 nights at €380 outside it. The top of the range is not the average. It is what an owner reaches with active pricing, fast replies and consistently good reviews.
About 135 nights, in our benchmark. We deliberately do not quote an occupancy percentage. Occupancy multiplied by 365 flatters seasonal markets by a factor of two, because the villa is not on the market for most of the year and nobody is trying to sell it in November. Nights actually sold is the only honest unit.
Gross is what the guest pays. Net is what reaches your bank account. After a typical 15.5% platform commission, €72,700 to €96,900 gross becomes roughly €61,400 to €81,900. Then subtract cleaning, laundry, pool and garden maintenance, utilities and local taxes. If you use a rental agency instead of a platform, expect them to take 20 to 30%, and in the ultra-premium segment sometimes more.
On the numbers we hold, Mallorca sits 19 out of 29 markets we benchmark, against a median of €101,000 gross a year. That says nothing about the purchase price, which is the other half of any yield calculation. A high gross income on a very expensive property can be a worse investment than a modest income on a cheap one. Get both numbers before deciding.
Because a nightly rate is set by the view, the finish, the address and the level of service included, and almost never by the bedroom count. We have seen two four-bedroom villas in the same town, one at roughly 1,170 euros a night and one at roughly 9,376, and the difference was a sea view and a concierge. Any benchmark built on price per bedroom is meaningless, and most published ones are.
They are our regional benchmark for Mallorca, built from comparable markets and public rate data. They have not yet been confirmed by an operator working this market directly, and we say so rather than pretend to a certainty we do not have. If you own here, tell us what you actually earned and we will fix the number.
Four questions. An honest estimate, and a free report on what would raise it. We are paid by our partners, never by you.
