We build custom-designed villas and chalets throughout Mallorca, turnkey projects from initial design to final handover. Our construction company, based in Inca and founded in 1967, has completed over 1,500 projects. In 2026, building a new villa on the island will cost between €1,500 and €3,500/m² depending on the quality and location. We work with fixed budgets and ensure transparent execution.
Some clients arrive with a plot of land in Calvià and a clear idea in mind. Others have the architect's plans and need someone trustworthy to execute them precisely. In both cases, they're looking for the same thing: a villa construction company in Mallorca that meets deadlines, doesn't inflate the budget mid-project, and understands how construction is done on this island. That's what we've been doing since 1967 at Armalutx, your construction company in Mallorca.
What does building a turnkey villa in Mallorca include?
A turnkey villa construction project means we deliver a finished home, ready to move into, without you having to coordinate half a dozen trades on your own. One point of contact, one quote, one responsibility.
In practice, the service covers:
- Earthworks, foundation and structure of the villa
- Enclosures, roofing and waterproofing
- Complete installations: plumbing, electricity, air conditioning and basic home automation
- Masonry, flooring, tiling and interior and exterior carpentry
- Finishing, painting and delivery with certificate of completion
- Coordination with the architect and management of municipal licenses
Anything not included in the standard price—pool, garden, rockery, furniture—is quoted separately so you can see each item clearly. No fine print.
What types of villas do we build in Mallorca?
We build everything from single-story family homes to luxury beachfront villas. Each type of property has its own technical requirements, and that affects the budget and deadlines.
| Villa type | Typical profile | Technical feature |
|---|---|---|
| Traditional detached house | Resident family | Cost-quality balance, marés and arabesque tile |
| Modern new build villa | Second home / investment | Large lights, XXL windows, flat roof |
| Villa on a hillside or slope | Plots in Andratx, Pollença | Retaining walls and stepped structure |
| Luxury turnkey villa | International client | Complete home automation, infinity pool, premium materials |
We respect traditional Mallorcan architecture—marés stone, porches, patios—and combine it with modern techniques. We didn't build a house that could be anywhere; we built one that belongs to Mallorca.
How much does it cost to build a villa in Mallorca in 2026?
Building a new villa in Mallorca costs between €1,500 and €3,500 per square meter of construction in 2026, and exceeds €4,000 per square meter in exclusive areas such as Son Vida, Andratx, or Portals. For a standard 200-square-meter villa, this puts the construction investment between €350,000 and €600,000, before adding the cost of the land, architect fees, permits, and VAT.
It's important to understand one thing: to the cost of the actual construction, you must add between 25% and 40% for technical fees, building permits, taxes, and utility connections. Construction costs in the Balearic Islands have risen by nearly 30% since 2020, above the national average, due to the islands' geographical isolation and high demand. We break it down item by item in our Guide on how much it costs to build a villa in Mallorca and in the analysis of price per square meter of construction in 2026.
We always give you a fixed price quote before we start. If anything changes, we'll discuss it beforehand, not after we've invoiced you.
What is the process for building a villa step by step?
- We study the land, the building potential and your needs in a first visit without obligation.
- We coordinated the project with the architect and processed the building permit at the town hall.
- We finalized a detailed budget broken down by item, with deadlines and quality specifications in writing.
- We carry out the work with an assigned site manager who informs you of each phase.
- We deliver the finished villa with its completion certificate and guarantees.
A newly built villa typically takes between 12 and 18 months from permit to handover, depending on the size and complexity of the project. The planning process is often the most time-consuming, which is why we manage it from the very beginning.
In which areas of Mallorca do we build villas?
We build villas all over the island. From our headquarters in Inca, we cover the central and northern areas—Pollença, Alcúdia, Sa Pobla—and we regularly work in Palma, Calvià, Andratx, Santanyí, and Manacor. If you are looking for a villa builder in Palma or in any municipality of Mallorca, we arrive.
Knowing the area matters more than it seems. Building on urban land in Palma is not the same as building on a rural plot in Pla, where the regulations of the Urban Planning Law of the Balearic Islands indicates what can and cannot be built. Before you buy the land, we'll tell you what's feasible.

When is it NOT advisable to build a house from scratch?
Building isn't always the best decision, and we prefer to tell you that beforehand.
- If you already have a house with a good structure, Sometimes it's more cost-effective to comprehensive renovation or an extension to demolish and start from scratch.
- If the land is rural with no clear building potential, The cost and risk of licenses may not be worth it; it's best to resolve the urban planning issues before dreaming about blueprints.
- If the deadline is very tight (less than a year), new construction rarely fits in: between licensing and execution, more time is taken than people estimate.
Frequently asked questions about building villas in Mallorca
How long does it take to build a new villa in Mallorca?
A newly built villa in Mallorca typically takes between 12 and 18 months from the granting of the building permit to the handover of the keys. The timeframe depends on the size of the property, the complexity of the design, and, above all, the processing times of the local council's planning procedures, which can add several months before construction can begin.
Do I need to have the architect's plans for you to build my villa?
It's not essential at the beginning. If you already have the architect's plans, we'll carry them out. If not, we'll help you coordinate them: we work with registered architects in the COAIB And we make sure the design is feasible on your plot before finalizing the budget.
What licenses are needed to build a villa in Mallorca?
To build a villa, you need a major works permit from the town hall where the plot is located. This requires a certified technical project and payment of the Construction, Installations and Works Tax (ICIO). On rural land, regional regulations also usually apply such as Urban Planning Law of the Balearic Islands. We handle all the paperwork.
Do you build villas on sloping or hillside plots?
Yes. Sloping plots, common in Andratx, Pollença, or the Serra de Tramuntana, require retaining walls, special foundations, and sometimes stepped structures. We've done it many times. We study the terrain before preparing a quote to avoid geotechnical surprises halfway through construction.
