Home insurance for expats in Mallorca, Spain

Looking for home insurance in Mallorca? We arrange buildings, contents and combined home insurance for expats and foreign owners across Mallorca and Balearic Islands — villas, apartments and holiday homes alike — and explain every policy in plain English.

English-speaking home insurance in Mallorca

Mallorca offers everything from Palma city apartments and southwest luxury villas (Andratx, Santa Ponsa) to rural stone fincas in the Tramuntana and central plain.

Why home insurance matters in Mallorca

Intense autumn storms can cause flash floods (Sant Llorenç, 2018), the Tramuntana brings mountain weather, and rural fincas mean land, wells and outbuildings to insure; many homes are high-value second homes.

Luxury coastal villas, traditional fincas, townhouses and Palma apartments.

Cover options for properties in Mallorca

Whatever you own in Mallorca, we can arrange cover in English:

Setting the right sums insured in Mallorca

The two figures that matter most are the buildings sum insured (what it would cost to rebuild your Mallorca property from scratch, not its market value) and the contents sum insured (the cost to replace your belongings). Under-insuring either can lead to a proportionally reduced payout at claim time, so we help you set both correctly for the local rebuild costs and your home — see buildings & contents insurance.

Holiday homes and non-resident owners in Mallorca

Many properties in Mallorca are holiday or second homes owned from abroad. We arrange cover that continues while the property is empty, and handle everything in English — see holiday home insurance and non-resident home insurance.

Renting out a property in Mallorca?

If you let your Mallorca property long-term or to holidaymakers, ask about landlord and holiday-rental cover — a standard owner policy may not respond to tenant or guest risks.

Making a claim on a Mallorca home

If something happens, report it to us as early as you can, take steps to prevent further damage and keep photographs and receipts. We manage the claim with the insurer in English so you are not negotiating a Spanish process alone. Extraordinary events — major floods, earthquakes, severe storms officially declared — are compensated separately by Spain's Consorcio de Compensación de Seguros, funded by a small surcharge already included in your premium.

Mallorca FAQs

Home insurance in Mallorca — your questions

How do I insure a Mallorcan finca?

With cover for the house, outbuildings and land at an accurate rebuild value — see our finca page.

Are high-value villas hard to insure?

No — the key is the correct rebuild value and good contents limits.

Can I arrange home insurance in Mallorca in English?

Yes. We arrange everything in plain English — the quote, the policy documents and any claim — so nothing is lost in translation, even though the policy itself is a Spanish contract. You deal with English-speaking advisers throughout.

How much does home insurance cost in Mallorca?

The premium depends mainly on your rebuild (buildings) value, the contents sum insured, the property type and the location and occupancy of the home. We give you a tailored figure for your Mallorca property rather than a one-size-fits-all price — any figures shown are indicative only.

Do I legally need home insurance in Mallorca?

Home insurance is only legally required if you have a Spanish mortgage, where the lender requires buildings cover for the life of the loan. Otherwise it is strongly recommended but optional — most owners still insure contents and personal liability.

Can you insure a holiday home or non-resident-owned property in Mallorca?

Yes. We arrange cover for second homes and properties owned from abroad, including the periods when the home is left empty. See holiday home and non-resident home insurance.
