Fincas, design villas, modern estates and production-ready hotels across the island. A curated set of Mallorca locations for photo and fashion shoots, brand experiences and events — with a local team that can help with permits, crew and logistics when you need it.
Lovely Locations is a production-first location agency in the Balearics, working across photo and fashion shoots, events and brand experiences. We know the Mallorca location landscape — the fincas, design villas and Palma properties that work for a shoot or a launch — and how location rentals and productions run on the island. When a booking needs more than a venue, we can take on the production around it.
The roster is weighted toward what shoots actually need: shootable interiors and exteriors under one roof, room for cast and crew on-site, and properties whose owners are open to productions. Where a shoot needs permits, crew or catering, we can coordinate the production layer locally.

Stone-built fincas with olive groves, clastra courtyards and open countryside. Traditional Mallorcan interiors, generator-friendly outdoor runs and owners who are comfortable with tripods and crew vans. The main-unit base for most multi-day shoots.
Explore fincas →Architect-led villas, minimalist white-box interiors and contemporary estates with pools, terraces and sea views. The preferred option when a brief asks for clean lines, considered styling, and rooms that already look like a set.
Explore design villas →
Boutique design hotels and Palma palace properties with the staff, services and indoor square metres that bigger shoots need. Multi-day buy-outs, weather-proof interiors, in-house catering and on-site rooms for 20–30 crew.
Explore hotels →Tramuntana mountains, Alcudia and Pollensa bays, Mediterranean cliffs and the gothic heart of Palma — all within ninety minutes of each other. A single shoot day can cover mountain, sea, architecture and olive-grove countryside without a hotel change.
Each municipality runs its own permit process; only island-registered companies can apply. We can work inside the system — Palma, Calvià, Sóller, Pollensa, Santanyí — so beach scenes, public-road closures and drone work don’t land in the three-month delay queue.
The properties we point you to are chosen because their owners welcome productions — tripods indoors, styling changes, an early start. We flag what each owner is and isn’t comfortable with up front, so the ground rules are clear before you book.
We shortlist on actual bedroom, bathroom and parking counts — not marketing copy. Small creator trips sleep on-site; larger editorial and commercial productions get nearby hotel overflow, a short transfer away.
Mallorca works in every season: long Mediterranean light through spring and autumn, bright high-contrast summer days with full use of pools and coast, and interior-heavy winters — Tramuntana fincas with fireplaces, architectural detail and empty Palma streets. Locations stay open all year, so the calendar follows the brief.
Location scouting, owner negotiation, permits, catering, local crew, equipment rental, airport transfers and accommodation overflow — we can run the full layer around the location, or just hand you the address. Your call.
The brief usually sorts itself into one of three buckets. Traditional Mallorcan — olive grove, stone walls, clastra courtyard, patinaed interiors — means a countryside finca. Clean contemporary — architect-led rooms, minimalist surfaces, pool geometry — points to a design villa. Scale and services — 30 crew, multi-day buy-out, weather-proof indoor square metres, in-house catering — points to a production-ready hotel. Most briefs draw from two of the three; we shortlist across formats so the creative team can compare like-for-like before committing.
Mallorca is a year-round shoot destination, and each season reads differently on the day. Spring and autumn bring stable Mediterranean light and long golden-hour windows; summer delivers bright, high-contrast days and full use of pools, terraces and the coast; winter is underrated for interiors — Tramuntana fincas with fireplaces, architectural detail and directional low-sun light, plus quiet Palma streets. Locations stay open across the calendar, so we shortlist around your dates and the look you’re after rather than a fixed window.
Filming in Mallorca requires a permit from the relevant ayuntamiento; each municipality runs its own process and fee structure, and only island-registered companies can apply. Straightforward private-property work can clear in days; public spaces, beaches, road closures and drone work can take up to three months. We handle the permit layer locally. On-site, confirm three-phase power or generator space, truck access for grip and lighting, catering zone (public-space catering is restricted), and the noise cut-off — typically 23:00 to 00:00 outdoors.
For a one-day still shoot with a crew of six and no permit required, booking a finca direct is often the simplest path. An agency earns its seat when the production layer matters: a curated cross-format shortlist before greenlight, multi-location shoot schedules across the island, permit negotiation with municipalities, catering and crew coordination, or an owner who needs a trusted intermediary to release the property to an international brand.
Send us the brief — the date window, a rough crew size and the look you’re after — and we’ll come back with three to five Mallorca locations that fit, with photos, capacity detail and an honest read on permit and logistics for your shoot.
It depends on location type. Private-property shoots on a finca or villa with a cooperative owner can clear in a few working days. Public-space work — beaches, old-town streets, port areas, plus anything involving road closures or drones — sits inside each municipality’s process and can take up to three months in peak periods. We flag permit risk up front and recommend locations where the process fits your shoot dates.
Yes on both counts — most Mallorca beaches are shootable, but they sit under the Demarcación de Costas plus the relevant ayuntamiento, which adds layers to the permit. Small editorial with a two-person crew and a handheld camera is often cleared quickly; full productions with trucks, lighting and wardrobe tents need a formal permit, insurance and a local partner. We handle both.
Varies by property, which is why we document it. Larger fincas and design villas typically have single-phase domestic power; three-phase needs a generator; we confirm where it sits, cable runs and catering-truck access on the recce. Hotel and palace locations in Palma usually accept crew loading at specific hours. We confirm each location’s technical setup before shortlisting.
A finca is a traditional Mallorcan rural estate — stone walls, olive grove, clastra courtyard, patinaed interiors. A design villa is architect-led and contemporary — white-box interiors, pool geometry, considered styling. A production-ready hotel is a buy-out-capable boutique or Palma palace property with staff, services, weather-proof indoor square metres and on-site rooms for crew. Most shoots draw from two of the three.
Yes — this is the shoot-and-stay format. Many of our fincas and villas sleep 6–30 crew in bedrooms, so hair-and-make-up set up in one guest suite, wardrobe takes another, and the producer doesn’t need a hotel shuttle twice a day. For larger productions we pair the main location with nearby hotel overflow, typically within a 20-minute transfer.
Yes — Mallorca works as a shoot location across the calendar. Spring and autumn give stable Mediterranean light and long golden-hour windows, summer brings bright days and full use of pools and the coast, and winter suits interior-heavy shoots: Tramuntana fincas with fireplaces, directional low-sun light and quiet Palma streets. Locations stay open all year, so we shortlist around your dates and brief.
Send a few moodboard images, your date window, crew size and any non-negotiables (pool, sea view, specific styling, permit-sensitive shots). We come back with three to five locations — with photos, owner notes, technical capacity and an honest read on permit and logistics risk for your brief.
