Dubai Property from Mallorca: Our New UAE Partnership

Imperial Properties now offers Dubai property to our clients through a strategic partnership with a trusted agency on the ground in the UAE. Moving from Mallorca to Dubai, or the other way round, you now have people you know at both ends of the move.

We have been selling homes in southwest Mallorca since 1985. Over the last few years we have seen the same story again and again: clients who sell here to base themselves in Dubai, and Dubai residents who buy a summer home in Mallorca. Until now we only looked after half of that journey. With our UAE partner, we look after all of it.

Why a two-way partnership matters

Buying abroad is rarely difficult because of the property itself. It is difficult because you do not know who to trust, how the process works or whether the person advising you has your interests at heart. Most of our clients have been with us for years, some for decades. They know how we work, and that is exactly what we wanted to carry across to the UAE.

So we chose a partner we know and have worked alongside, rather than simply passing names on. When you tell us you are looking at Dubai, we make a personal introduction, share what we know about you and your priorities, and stay involved. When a Dubai client of our partner starts looking at Mallorca, they are introduced to us in the same way. One conversation, two markets, no starting from scratch.

Why Dubai is on our clients' radar

Dubai today is a very different city from the one many Europeans remember from ten years ago. It has become a settled home for families, entrepreneurs and business owners from all over the world, with year-round sunshine, international schools, beaches, excellent restaurants and one of the best-connected airports anywhere.

The numbers back this up. According to the Dubai government, the emirate recorded more than 270,000 real estate transactions worth AED 917 billion in 2025, 20% up on 2024. The investor base grew by 24% to around 193,100 people, of whom 129,600 were buying in Dubai for the first time (Dubai Government, 2025 results).

The pace has carried into this year. The Dubai Land Department reported that transactions reached AED 252 billion in the first quarter of 2026, a 31% rise on the same period last year, with 29,312 new investors entering the market in those three months alone.

What you can buy in Dubai

One of the things our clients like most about Dubai is the choice. Through our UAE partner we can introduce you to:

• Beachfront and waterfront homes along Dubai's best-known coastline.
• Villas and family homes in established, low-density communities such as Dubai Hills and Jumeirah Golf Estates.
• Apartments and penthouses in Downtown Dubai, DIFC, Dubai Marina and the districts around them.
• Branded residences linked to international hotel and luxury names.
• New-build and off-plan developments, bought during construction.
• Completed homes for buyers who want a finished property rather than a future one.
• Large villas and limited-supply homes at the very top of the market.

The hard part is not finding property in Dubai. Hundreds of projects are marketed at any one time, many with large advertising budgets behind them. What matters is knowing which areas suit you, which developers deliver, and how one price point compares with another. That is the local knowledge our partner brings, and we are there alongside you while you weigh it up.

Selling in Mallorca, buying in Dubai

For clients who are moving their main base to Dubai, the timing of the two transactions is usually the biggest worry. You want to know what your Mallorca home is worth before you commit to anything in the UAE, and you do not want to be managing two sets of agents in two time zones.

With both sides of the move handled by people who talk to each other, the sale here and the search there run in step. We value and market your Mallorca property, while our partner shortlists homes in Dubai that match your budget and brief. You get one clear picture rather than two separate conversations. Our free valuation form is a good place to start.

Buying in Mallorca from Dubai

It works just as well in the other direction. Many Dubai residents look for a Mediterranean summer base, and Mallorca, a short flight from most European capitals, fits that brief well. Our partner introduces these buyers to us, and we handle the Mallorca side from first viewing to the notary: NIE numbers, lawyers, surveys, and video viewings for clients who are not on the island.

You can browse our current properties across Mallorca at any time.

Residency and the Golden Visa

For many buyers, residency is part of the decision. In the UAE, owning property worth at least AED 2 million is one of the routes to the ten-year Golden Visa, subject to the government's conditions. Rules around eligibility, mortgages and off-plan purchases are specific, so our partner walks you through them for the property you are considering, alongside independent legal and tax advice.

Mallorca and Dubai: not one or the other

Mallorca and Dubai are very different places, but the people who buy in them have a lot in common. They want quality of life, safety, good connections, sunshine and well-built homes. For a growing number of our clients, the answer is both: Mallorca from spring to autumn, Dubai through the winter. We looked at how the two compare in our earlier piece, Mallorca vs Dubai.

Our business has always been built on long relationships rather than single sales. As our clients' lives become more international, our service is growing with them. Mallorca remains at the heart of everything we do, but you no longer have to face an unfamiliar market on your own.
