Mallorca was consistently strong throughout. Knight Frank also categorised according to three genres: the entrepreneur, the family and the retired couple. Mallorca scored best for retirement.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am not surprised that Mallorca\u2019s ranked strongly for retirees,\u201d says Daniel Chavarria Waschke, Managing Director of Mallorca Sotheby\u2019s International Realty. \u201cAs the Review outlined, chief drivers for this age group are quality of life, cost of living and personal security, alongside leisure pursuits and accessibility for visiting friends and family. Healthcare is also a concern. Mallorca offers 300 days of sunshine a year, 24 golf courses, endless watersports, a variety of theatres, five Michelin starred restaurants and excellent medical facilities. For this reason retirees always make up a large portion of our client-base at Mallorca Sotheby\u2019s International Realty \u2013 around 20%.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Anna Batizi, Head of International Sales for Moscow Sotheby\u2019s International Realty (a city which ranked joint tenth in the Review) agreed on Mallorca\u2019s appeal. \u201cSpain is most definitely among the top five countries where Russians choose to go on holiday or buy a home. In Mallorca, good build quality and a developed infrastructure from shops to schools, there are ten international schools within a 50km radius of capital Palma, all add to the appeal. Spain\u2019s new Golden Visa scheme has also piqued Russian interest.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Traditional locations such as London, Paris and New York scored well in the Knight Frank Review, but only London made the top ten (in sixth) with the others lacking consistency across the spectrum. The city that ranked the highest was Geneva (joint second with Mallorca) and another city that performed well was Hong Kong in seventh.<\/p>\n<p>Dubai achieved its top spot thanks to a vast number of international schools, variety of leisure pursuits on offer and 350 days of sunshine a year. The Emirate also had the cheapest fuel over the past 12 months and a raft of beneficial tax factors to take into account. Meanwhile, accessibility is at a premium with the Airport being a central hub for global aviation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere are some aspects, in my opinion, where Dubai falls short in comparison to Mallorca,\u201d argues Daniel. \u201c350 days sunshine a year is great, but in the height of summer temperatures can soar to 50 degrees Celsius and it\u2019s almost impossible to be outside of an air-conditioned building, even at night. Traffic can also be a headache with more than a million cars in a place that had just a handful only a few decades ago. Some expats may also find rules on alcohol, dress sense and behaviour take a while to get used to. Summer temperatures in Mallorca are perfectly bearable, traffic doesn\u2019t feature in the dictionary and society is very liberal.\u201d<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Property consultancy, Knight Frank, has just placed Mallorca at an impressive number two spot in its Global Lifestyle Review.
