Where can I go to find an apartment to rent long term in Mallorca (Majorca) in the Balearic Islands?

Question

I'm struggling to find sites that offer rentals other than holiday rentals. My husband and I are planning to move to Mallorca early next year and wish to rent a 2/3 bed apartment anywhere on the island for a maximum of 600Euros per month - any ideas on where's best to look? Or does anyhone have a personal recommendation?

Answer 1

the local newspapers are always a good idea.  The Spanish aren't too up on their websites so the ones that are there are normally set up by expats and they charge UK prices.  Your best bet is to go out and book a hotel for two weeks and sort it out when you get there.  The one advantage to Spanish rentals is that they normally sort them out quickly although if you don't have a job they may ask for proof that you can afford the rent and also at least a months deposit. Also you will pay more in the big holiday resorts than you do out of them.  Palma isn't cheap and also what the Spanish sometimes do is charge you more in summer and then less in winter.  You need to be there to find the bargains and you may not find a real gem straight away but don't give up good luck on your move
