Insurance in Mallorca

Insurance for Expats in Mallorca — Generali, in English

Palma de Mallorca is a cosmopolitan European city with a Baroque cathedral, international schools and private hospitals. Port d'Andratx hosts some of the most exclusive Mediterranean property; Alcúdia and Pollença in the north attract a quieter British and German community; the Tramuntana mountains (UNESCO World Heritage) offer dramatic villages and traditional fincas.

About Mallorca

Mallorca offers one of the most complete and diverse expat environments in Spain. Palma de Mallorca — a sophisticated, cosmopolitan city with a Baroque cathedral (La Seu), a thriving old town (Old Quarter), private hospitals, international schools and a lively cultural life — anchors the island. Port d'Andratx in the southwest hosts some of the most exclusive and expensive Mediterranean residential property. The north and northeast — Alcúdia, Pollença, Artà — attract a more permanent and quieter British and German community, often in traditional stone properties.

The Serra de Tramuntana — the limestone mountain range running along the northwest coast — is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, home to dramatic villages (Valldemossa, Deià, Sóller) and traditional fincas. The eastern coast, including Sant Llorenç des Cardassar, Artà and the coastal valleys, is where the October 2018 DANA disaster struck with devastating force.

Local Insurance Considerations in Mallorca

Insuring property in Mallorca comes with a few local factors that are critical to get right:

• The 2018 Sant Llorenç DANA flood disaster: on 9 October 2018, a catastrophic DANA storm killed 13 people and caused devastating damage in Sant Llorenç des Cardassar in eastern Mallorca. This is the defining insurance case study for the island: properties near barrancos and coastal valleys in eastern Mallorca carry genuine flood risk. The Consorcio de Compensación de Seguros covered the extraordinary catastrophic event; private policies covered the resulting water damage, contents loss and repairs. Both must be correctly in place.
• Flash flooding and barrancos: heavy autumn and winter rain across the island funnels rapidly through ravines. Properties near watercourses or in coastal valleys are at elevated risk and need careful policy terms.
• Tramuntana finca rebuild costs: traditional stone fincas in the Tramuntana mountains have very high rebuild costs — specialist materials, heritage elements and construction access make them expensive to reinstate. The regla proporcional is especially dangerous here: underinsurance will mean any claim is proportionally reduced.
• Extreme property values: Port d'Andratx and other premium areas have some of the highest residential property values in Spain. Correct rebuild values and contents declarations are essential.
• Wildfire on forested slopes: pine-covered hillsides across the island carry wildfire risk. This is an insured peril under Generali policies.
• Holiday and rental property market: Mallorca has a very large stock of seasonal and holiday-let properties. The correct occupancy basis is essential — incorrectly declared properties risk claim refusal or reduction.
