Fincas, cliffside villas, Tramuntana estates and production-ready hotels across the island. A curated set of Mallorca film locations with owners who are open to commercials, fashion and content shoots — backed by a local team that can help with ayuntamiento permits and crew logistics.
Lovely Locations is a production-first location agency built around commercial, photo and content production on the Balearics — alongside the shoots, events and brand experiences that use the same properties. We’re familiar with the island’s film locations and how productions and location rentals run here: which properties can carry a crew, where power and truck access tend to work, how the natural light moves across a site, and which owners are comfortable with what a real crew day involves. On a recce we can check those specifics against your rig and shoot schedule.
The brief for film is different from stills. You need consistency across setups, a workable generator lay-down when single-phase domestic power can’t carry the rig, a catering zone that isn’t in-frame, and owners who are comfortable with a production truck on site. Where public-space shots enter the shoot schedule — old-town Palma, a Sóller cove, a Tramuntana pass — we coordinate the ayuntamiento permit and the Demarcación de Costas coastal paperwork in parallel.

Stone fincas, vineyards, olive groves and clastra courtyards across the island’s centre and south. The typical base for a multi-day shoot — space for grip and lighting, a generator corner, crew sleeping rooms and interior sets that already look dressed.
Explore finca locations →
Architect-led cliffside villas over Port d’Andratx, modern Moscari estates, historic Deià retreats. Clean interiors, pool geometry, sea-view terraces and rooftops — for treatments leaning modern, high-end, or boldly art-directed in their framing.
Explore coastal villas →
UNESCO-listed Tramuntana stone houses, former monasteries, beachfront hotels and specialty spaces. Where a story needs mountain, water, or a historic patina the rest of the roster doesn’t carry — with the permit notes to match.
Explore specialty locations →Tramuntana mountains, Pollensa and Alcudia bays, Andratx cliffs, and Palma’s gothic old town all sit within ninety minutes of each other. A single shoot can cover mountain, sea, architecture and countryside with one crew base.
Every municipality runs its own filming process — Palma, Calvià , Sóller, Pollensa, SantanyÃ, Andratx. Standard municipal permits clear in roughly 15 working days; Tramuntana nature sites and heritage buildings sit closer to 30–45. We file where we know the system.
The properties we point you to are chosen because their owners are open to a crew day — tripods indoors, production trucks at dawn, wardrobe in the guest suite, an early call time. We flag what each owner is and isn’t comfortable with up front, so the ground rules are clear before you lock the location.
We shortlist against real bedroom counts, power capacity, parking, truck turning radius and catering footprint — not marketing copy. Small content trips sleep on-location; larger productions get main-unit base plus hotel overflow inside a 20-minute transfer.
Palma is two hours from London, Berlin, Paris and Zurich. The island has an established local-crew pool — grip, gaffer, camera, art — plus the Mallorca Film Commission’s network. Shipping kit and parachuting department heads works without friction.
Mallorca doesn’t have a single island-wide filming permit. Each municipality — Palma, Calvià , Andratx, Sóller, Deià , Pollensa, Santanyà and the rest — runs its own process, fee structure and response window. Standard private-property shoots tend to clear inside fifteen working days; Tramuntana nature sites, heritage-listed buildings and public-space work with road closures sit closer to thirty to forty-five days. Beach scenes fall under the Demarcación de Costas coastal authority plus the local ayuntamiento, which layers the process further. Drones need separate aviation paperwork. We handle filings where we know the system, and flag permit risk against your shoot window before the location is locked, not after.
Our roster scales from eight-person creator units up to forty-plus crew commercial productions. The honest limiter is usually power, parking and the catering footprint, not headcount on paper. Most large fincas and villas run single-phase domestic power and need a generator for lighting rigs of any real size; we confirm generator lay-down space, cable routes and the catering truck turning radius on the recce. Crew sleep on-site at our shoot-and-stay fincas — typically six to thirty in bedrooms — with the main unit base, hair-and-make-up suite, wardrobe room and art department room all inside the property line. Anything larger pairs the location with hotel overflow inside a twenty-minute transfer.
Mallorca works as a year-round shoot base. Summer brings long days and strong light, though heat is worth planning around for wardrobe, hair-and-make-up and continuity, and beaches and permit offices run busier. Winter shoots well for interior-heavy treatments — Tramuntana fincas with open fireplaces, directional low-sun light, quiet Palma streets — and owners are often open on midweek day rates. Whatever the month, plan a weather cover day into the schedule; the Tramuntana gets weather even when the coast doesn’t.
Send us the treatment, a date window and crew size, and we’ll come back with three to five film locations that fit — with real photos, owner notes, power and access detail, and an honest read on permit and logistics risk against your dates. If you’d like us to run the full production layer alongside a local partner, we can; pricing is on request and varies by project and location.
Each Mallorcan municipality — Palma, Calvià , Andratx, Sóller, Pollensa, Santanyà and the rest — runs its own filming permit process. Standard private-property shoots tend to clear in around fifteen working days; Tramuntana nature sites, heritage buildings, public streets and beaches can run thirty to forty-five days. Only Spanish-registered companies can apply, and drones require separate aviation paperwork. We coordinate filings locally and flag permit risk against your shoot dates before the location is locked.
The Serra de Tramuntana is a UNESCO World Heritage Cultural Landscape, which means filming permissions run through both the relevant municipality and the island’s heritage authority. Timelines are longer — plan for thirty to forty-five days minimum — and certain restrictions apply on drone use, vehicle access and crew footprint inside protected zones. We shortlist Tramuntana locations like Finca Son Ru in Deià against the likelihood of getting a permit inside your window.
Varies by property, which is why we document it. Larger fincas and villas usually run single-phase domestic power, so a lighting rig beyond a modest interview package needs a generator — we confirm generator lay-down space, cable routes and catering-truck turning radius on the recce. Hotel and Palma palace properties accept crew loading at specified hours. Every shortlist we send includes a technical note covering power, access, parking and unit-van footprint against your rider.
Yes, most Mallorcan beaches are filmable, but they sit under the Demarcación de Costas coastal authority as well as the local ayuntamiento — so the permit process adds a layer. Small handheld editorial with a two-person crew often clears quickly; full productions with production trucks, lighting, wardrobe tents and catering need a formal permit, public-liability insurance and an island-registered partner. Lead time can be meaningful in peak months; we flag it early and recommend private coves and member-run beachfront properties where timing is tight.
Yes — this is the shoot-and-stay format, and most producers prefer it. Many of our fincas and villas sleep six to thirty crew in bedrooms, so hair-and-make-up take one guest suite, wardrobe takes another, art department uses a third, and the producer doesn’t run a shuttle twice a day. For larger productions we pair the main-unit location with nearby hotel overflow inside a twenty-minute transfer window — typically Palma boutique hotels or Illetas and Andratx properties depending on the base camp.
Send a treatment or mood-board images, your date window, crew size and any non-negotiables — pool, sea view, Tramuntana, historic patina, drone-permit sensitivity, minimum-interior square metres. We come back with three to five film locations — with real photos, owner notes, permit and power detail, and an honest read on logistics risk for your brief. If you’d like us to run the full production layer alongside a local partner, pricing is on request and varies by project and location.
