Luxury Properties In Camp De Mar

Camp de Mar belongs to the municipality of Andratx and is located in the southwest of the beautiful Balearic island of Mallorca.  The classic holiday resort is particularly popular for families with children.

The picturesque village of Camp de Mar has a dream beach with fine sand, flanked by two rocky headlands and surrounded by turquoise waters.  The “Playa de Camp de Mar” is about 180 meters long and 60 meters wide. Part of the seabed is rocky. The restaurant Illeta is located on a small island opposite the beach  which is connected to the beach by a wooden plank bridge. From the mainland, the restaurant seems to float on the sea.

The coastal village is also considered a hotspot for golf fans. The 18-hole course “Golf de Andratx” can be played all year round and has become a meeting place for international golfers and local celebrities.

Properties in Camp de Mar – Villas & apartments with sea views

The small coastal town is characterized by real  estate, residential complexes, terraced houses to villas of the middle and upper price segment. Located between Port de Andratx and Paguera, Camp de Mar has emerged as a popular alternative to these two places for property buyers. Properties on the golf course, villas with sea views, Mediterranean apartment complexes with pool and beautifully landscaped gardens characterize the townscape of Camp de Mar.

With only about 230 inhabitants, Camp de Mar is one of the smaller residential areas in Mallorca and is a typical holiday resort, which is mainly well visited in the summer months. Property buyers in Camp de Mar are often families, golfers or people who value proximity to the beach.

Also one has to point out the Steigenberger Hotel, the golf course and the fact that top model Claudia Schiffer owned an absolute luxury villa in a top location until 2005 and some filmmakers also used Camp de Mar as a filming location.  For example, the village served as the setting for the film  “Long Way Down” with Pierce Brosnan. The Spanish Netflix production “Mentiras (Lies)” was also filmed there. 

In addition to properties in the middle price segment, Camp de Mar also offers a wide range of properties in the luxury class or in the premium segment. Properties with sea views usually cost more than 1.5 million euros, new buildings are usually only available from 3 million euros.

In Camp de Mar buyers are searching for all different types of real estate, such as apartments, penthouses, terraced houses, apartments and houses directly on the golf course.  For this reason, project developers such as Taylor Wimpey and Zinnia have built very attractive residential complexes near the sea in Camp de Mar in recent years. Some of these properties have stunning sea views..

Only a few building plots are available. Despite all this, there are still buildable plots in the second and third sea line, – occasionally even plots in the first sea line with panoramic views.

Architecture in Camp de Mar

Due to the tourist character of Camp de Mars, the properties available here are rather recent and have a corresponding standard. Apartaments, terraced houses and villas dominate the townscape alongside holiday hotels and the golf course. Communal or apartment complexes and apartments characterize the center of Camp der Mar. Houses and villas are located east and west of the town center. In addition to the “Mediterranean” architectural style, there are also rather minimalist villas.

Architecturally particularly noteworthy are the buildings of Alberto Rubio, who built a unique villa in Camp de Mar.  This is a property  reminiscent of a seagull: “White roofs and curved lines in harmony with nature, the sea, the sky and the coast” are Rubio’s artistic trademarks.  

The star architect was inspired by the breathtaking landscape of Mallorca when designing his “seagull villas”. Flowing, undulating lines from the center to the wings create curved curves.  These form spacious, open interiors and an intricate mesh of beam-vaulted ceilings.

The outdoor areas of these unique properties offer arched terraces, large infinity pools, and outdoor dining and kitchen areas. Buyers of such luxury properties are not only proud owners of fantastic Mallorca properties, but also of unique architectural masterpieces.

Golfing en Camp de Mar

Golf de Andratx is one of the most beautiful and challenging golf courses in the southwest of Mallorca. The course is beautifully landscaped with old olive groves, almond trees, traditional Mallorcan stone walls, seven ponds and lakes. In addition to narrow fairways, there are a total of 60 bunkers. Located directly on the sea, the golf course blends seamlessly into the surrounding landscape between the mountains and the bay of Camp de Mar.

Some very high tees offer great views of the sea and coastline. Its renowned honorary members include Claudia Schiffer, Otto Waalkes and Franz Beckenbauer.  You might even see Hollywood stars Michael Douglas and his wife Catherine Zeta-Jones teeing off.

The partly steep and rocky nature of the golf course was already a challenge for the team of architects during the planning phase. With its narrow fairways, the  golf course is one of  the  most difficult courses on the entire island. This course demands absolute precision from the players;  Beginners with a high handicap often have their difficulties. A special challenge is the “Green Monster”, common   is hole 6, which is the longest par 5 in Spain at 609 meters.

On the golf course there are also: A high-quality   equipped pro shop with the latest golf equipment and equipment, a 300-meter driving range with pitching, chipping and putting greens and 3 practice bunkers.  

The “Campino” clubhouse of the golf club spoils with high-quality Italian cuisine. From the terrace, visitors enjoy not only the culinary food, but also an excellent view of the 18th hole, the sea of Camp de Mar and a spectacular sunset in the evening.

The history of Camp de Mar

Camp de Mar has a relatively short history. The entire coast between Port d’Andratx and Paguera was the target of numerous pirate raids in the Middle Ages. The rugged coastline offered these North African buccaneers enough protection to hide. As a result, numerous fortresses and watchtowers were built in the 16th century to protect the coast. The municipalities of Andratx and Calvia alone  have  built 12 watchtowers that have survived for centuries.

Camp de Mar established itself as a holiday resort in 1932 with the construction of the first hotel. British secret agent Thomas Harris was one of the most famous residents after World War II. In 1949 he bought a property there and has since devoted himself to painting. The spy died under mysterious circumstances in a car accident.

Camp de Mar later developed into a luxury destination. Small, exclusive hotels were built near the beach, which attracted mainly wealthy holidaymakers.

The many properties such as villas, penthouses and apartments in exclusive residential complexes, some of which are home to renowned businessmen, celebrities and film stars, also speak for the upscale lifestyle of Camp de Mar.

Activities in Camp de Mar

Camp de Mar is located at the foot of the Tramuntana mountains, making it an ideal starting point for hikes and a hotspot for explorers.  On the outskirts of the village are the remains of a 16th century watchtower, once built to protect the coast from pirates. The historic ramparts can be reached with a short hike.

From the beach there are boat trips to, for example, Sa Dragonera – a magical place for nature fans. The uninhabited dragon-shaped island is a nature reserve, home to the endemic Balearic lizard, the Balearic shearwaters and Eleonora falcons.   Older gull species also choose the island as a breeding area.

The village of Sant Elm is very close to Camp de Mar and offers numerous hiking trails such as the famous “La Trapa”, the name of the ruins of a former Trappist monastery. The former monastery is located in the remote  “Valley Val de Sant Joseph” between Sant Elm and Estellencs on the southwestern edge of the Serra de Tramuntana.

Another popular hiking destination is the mountain village of Es Capdella, which belongs to the municipality of Calvia.  The headland that borders the beach of Camp de Mar is called Cap Andritxo.

The location to the island’s capital Palma and the airport is ideal, the place is about 25-30 minutes by car from the bustling metropolis.

Camp de Mar itself also has some shops, good restaurants and a small, picturesque bay surrounded by rocks to relax. In addition to small supermarkets, the village has some nice boutiques and shops.
