Property in Calvià
Calvià stands out for its established rental level. In 2024, its flat existing-contract rent median reached €12.72 per square metre, ranking first among 43 Mallorcan municipalities. The middle level of the island’s municipal flat existing-contract rent medians was €7.14 per square metre that year, leaving Calvià’s flat median 78.1% higher. The difference matters to tenants under existing contracts and to owners assessing the local rental level. Calvià spans 20 localities, including Palmanova and Santa Ponça, and combines a sizeable rental market with an active sales market.
Property sales held close to their previous annual level: Calvià recorded 1,209 transactions in 2025, compared with 1,231 in 2024. The 1.8% decline was modest beside earlier swings in the series, which reached a peak of 2,092 sales in 2021. For sellers, the latest count indicates a continuing flow of completed transactions at a level well below that peak. For buyers, it places current activity within a market that has moved through much sharper changes than the latest annual easing.
Property sales in Calvià
Calvià recorded 1,209 property sales in 2025, down from 1,231 in 2024, a decline of 1.8%. Across Mallorca, sales fell 0.46% over the same years, putting Calvià’s change 1.33 percentage points below the island-wide change. The slight pullback followed 1,180 transactions in 2023. Buyers and sellers therefore faced a broadly steady recent annual volume, although the municipality’s latest movement was somewhat weaker than the island’s.
The longer trajectory was more pronounced. Sales rose from 1,615 in 2016 to 1,785 in 2017, then fell to 897 in 2020. They rebounded to the series peak of 2,092 in 2021 before easing to 1,209 in 2025. Against that contraction and rebound, the latest change represents a much smaller shift in completed annual transactions.

Rental trends
Calvià’s rent index climbed from 100.0 in 2015 to 112.8 in 2019, then slipped to 111.7 in 2020. It resumed its ascent at 114.5 in 2021 and reached 127.3 in 2024. The 2020 decline marks the turning point between the earlier climb and the subsequent run of increases. For tenants and owners following annual changes, the latest reading continues that post-dip rise.
The rent index increased by 3.6% in 2024, after a 3.3% rise in 2023. It stood 27.3% above its 2015 starting level. Following the 0.9% decline in 2020, annual growth reached 3.8% in 2022, moderated, and then edged higher again in 2024. The latest increase was consequently somewhat faster than the preceding year’s, within a sustained upward path since the dip.

Mallorca IBI calculator
Explanation
The municipality sets the rate. IBI is a municipal tax: the same cadastral value costs considerably more in one town than in the next, because each one fixes its own rate in its tax bylaw (ordenanza fiscal).
Explanation
The valor catastral is the official value the Spanish land registry office (Catastro) sets for your property — land and building together. It is not the purchase price, not the market value and not the valor de referencia, and it normally sits well below all of them. You will find it on your last IBI bill and in the cadastral portal.

Calculated from the cadastral value. The bill is calculated on the reduced taxable base (base liquidable); where a revaluation is running, it comes out lower. Reductions and exemptions are not included.
Applies to this one cadastral unit and a full tax year. Not included: apportionment in the year of purchase, co-ownership shares, reductions and exemptions. A garage and a storeroom often have a cadastral reference of their own — then you calculate them separately.
That works out at €75.00 a month
The statutory range for this class of property runs from 0.400% to 1.100%; municipalities may go above or below it in certain cases (Art. 72(3) and (5)).
