Good to know

In Mallorca, terrace and pool furniture is especially sought after. Look for bargains at the end of the season (October/November) when many seasonal residents leave the island.

Furnishing a home in Mallorca is a special pleasure – and a special challenge. In our Home & Garden classifieds you will find everything you need: from furniture and kitchen equipment to garden and terrace accessories, pool gear and tools.

Life in Mallorca revolves around the outdoors. Terraces, gardens and pools are central to island living. Second-hand garden furniture, parasols and barbecues change hands regularly – often in excellent condition, as many residents only live on the island seasonally. Indoor furnishings are also commonly available pre-owned, as fincas are renovated and holiday lets refitted.

Note that large furniture on Mallorca often needs to be moved by delivery service or hired van – narrow streets and stairs in old-town quarters sometimes demand creative transport solutions.

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time to buy garden furniture cheaply in Mallorca?
The best time is October to November, when many seasonal residents leave the island and sell their terrace and pool furniture. There are also bargains at furniture stores in January after Three Kings' Day (Reyes).
What should I look for in outdoor furniture in Mallorca?
Choose UV-resistant and saltwater-proof materials such as teak, aluminium, or high-quality poly rattan. Cheap materials fade and corrode quickly in the Mediterranean sun and salty air. Protective covers during winter months significantly extend the lifespan.
Where do I dispose of bulky waste and old furniture in Mallorca?
You can drop off bulky items for free at your municipality's Deixalleries (recycling centres). In Palma, you can also request a collection through EMAYA. Alternatively, giving items away on mallorca.com is more sustainable.
Which plants are suitable for a garden in Mallorca?
Mediterranean plants like olive trees, bougainvillea, lavender, rosemary, and oleander thrive best. They are adapted to the hot, dry summers. Exotic plants like citrus trees and palms also grow well. Avoid water-intensive lawns — gravel and natural stone gardens are more sustainable.
Do I need a permit for renovation work in my flat in Mallorca?
For major alterations (moving walls, changing facades), you need a Licencia de Obra Mayor from the town hall. For minor works (painting, tiling, plumbing), a Comunicación Previa usually suffices. In communities of owners, you must also inform the Comunidad de Propietarios.
How much does a pool cost in Mallorca?
A basic pool (8x4m) in Mallorca costs from around €20,000-30,000 (prefabricated) or €35,000-60,000 (custom concrete). Annual maintenance adds approximately €1,500-3,000 for cleaning, chemicals, and equipment. You need a building permit (Licencia de Obra) from the town hall. A local pool builder will know the regional regulations.
How do I water my garden sustainably in Mallorca?
Water is scarce in Mallorca – drip irrigation (Riego por goteo) saves up to 70% compared to sprinklers. Water early in the morning or in the evening, never during the midday heat. Use Mediterranean plants (xeriscaping) that need little water. A cistern (Aljibe) collects rainwater for free. Municipal watering restrictions often apply in summer.
