Wyndham Portocolom
To meet demand and bring variety to Majorca’s property market, IDILIQ Group, an award-winning developer and operator of branded residences, has now launched Wyndham Portocolom; an exciting project in the South East of the island.
Previously home to an outdated hotel, IDILIQ purchased the site and catapulted the development into the 21st century with an array of amenities as well as 110 modern and fully furnished branded studios, one- and two-bedroom apartments.
James LaVelle, Managing Director of Estates & Developments, “Majorca is one of Spain’s most-visited destinations but offers a surprisingly limited choice when it comes to affordable branded residences. We designed Wyndham Portocolom to provide an adequate solution that caters to the island’s tourism boom and gives investors the opportunity to generate a steady rental income.”
In line with IDILIQ’s philosophy to make branded residences accessible to buyers with various budgets, properties at Wyndham Portocolom start from €198,000 and offer a 5% guaranteed rental return for the first three years.
This has attracted interest from lifestyle buyers and seasoned investors wanting to diversify their portfolio. 40% of the development’s residences have already been purchased by pre-registered buyers which is testament to a strong appetite from investors but also indicates the potential for branded residences in the area.
Over the past five years, IDILIQ has witnessed a growing number of buyers with budgets of €300,000 or less who want to shift their focus from owning a second home abroad to branded properties.
“Tighter home ownership regulations for foreign nationals are a key driver for this trend. Earlier this year, the Balearic Islands government suggested banning Britons from buying property in Majorca, Menorca and Ibiza altogether. As a result, investors are seeking other options which is boosting enquiries for branded residences that form part of a hotel. These properties are categorised as tourist accommodation and won’t be affected by second home regulations, making them an attractive alternative to traditional second homes.”
The Benefits of Hotel Branded Residences
Branded residences come with additional benefits as the property management and general maintenance is taken care of, whilst guests can enjoy first-class hotel services and onsite amenities.
This, and the frequent incentive of guaranteed rental returns, is positioning branded properties as a popular choice for buyers seeking a hassle-free and safe investment.
Wyndham Portocolom is no exception. Residents and guests can take full advantage of the project’s resort-style amenities including its bar and restaurant, gym, mini market for everyday necessities, private cinema, games arcade, teen zone and co-working centre.
Each apartment wows with bright and airy interiors, enhanced by large windows that flood the space with natural light while high-quality finishes add a touch of refined sophistication. This includes the fully equipped kitchens, contemporary bathrooms and spacious bedrooms.
Portocolom: Mallorca’s Best-Kept Secret on the Southeast Coast
Nestled on Majorca’s breath-taking southeast coast in the heart of Portocolom Bay, just 150 meters from the crystal waters of Cala Marçal beach, Wyndham Portocolom further benefits from access to a wide choice of nearby activities.
Nature enthusiasts can explore hiking trails in the stunning Mondragó Natural Park, marvel at the Coves de Campanet or discover iconic landmarks like the majestic Palma Cathedral. Golf lovers can improve their handicap at one of 24 golf courses across the island.
Last but not least, less than 15km from Portocolom lies Felanitx, a region celebrated for its rich winemaking traditions and picturesque vineyards. Palma Mallorca Airport is only one hour away.
The Balearic Islands registered over 19 million tourists last year but Majorca remains the hot favourite with holidaymakers. Data* suggests the island sees 29 visitors for every resident, which underlines the requirement for dedicated tourist accommodation and continues to pique the interest from savvy property investors.
