How much does it cost to rent in Mallorca?
Two flats advertised at €1,100 a month can cost very different amounts to move into. Before comparing towns, separate the advertised rent, the cash needed for the keys and the bills you’ll pay every month.
What the October 2026 listings show
Idealista’s October figures for advertised rent were €23.90 per square metre in Calvià, €22.00 in Andratx, €19.60 in Palma, €16.60 in Llucmajor and €14.10 in Manacor. A simple 60-square-metre illustration comes to €1,434, €1,320, €1,176, €996 and €846 respectively. These are calculations from advertised rates. Actual availability, rental type, size and neighbourhood will affect what you find.
What to budget before you collect the keys
Ask for an itemised total covering the first rent payment, the statutory deposit and any additional guarantee. For example, €1,100 for the first month plus a €1,100 deposit gives an illustrative move-in total of €2,200 before any other agreed amounts. Ask when each payment is due and for written terms if a reservation payment is requested.
Compare the monthly cost of living there
Ask whether water, electricity, internet and parking are included. If a cheaper flat means driving to work every day or paying for a second car, add those costs to the comparison. In winter, ask how the property is heated and whether the owner can show recent bills.
How to use the figures on your own search
Compare listings with the same number of bedrooms and the same type of contract. Keep the price and date alongside each listing. If the advert disappears quickly, that still tells you little about the rent ultimately agreed. Use the figures as a starting point for your search.
