The first is Port d'Andratx in the southwest, famous for its multi-million euro villas perched on cliffs and its high-end marina, often frequented by celebrities and tech moguls. The second is Son Vida, often called the "Beverly Hills of Mallorca," a gated community just outside Palma that boasts championship golf courses and some of the most expensive residential real estate in the Mediterranean.
