There’s a new energy in the air—can you feel it? Mallorca is evolving, and so is the way people are choosing to live here. Once seen mainly as a place to slow down, the island is now home to a new wave of creators, innovators, and families who are building lives filled with purpose and possibility. It’s no longer just about escaping the fast pace—it’s about embracing a lifestyle that feels aligned.
Every day, I meet inspiring people who are bringing fresh perspectives to the island—entrepreneurs, creatives, families—each one carving out their own unique story. They come not just for the beauty (although that never loses its charm), but for the opportunity to live with intention, to raise their children closer to nature, and to contribute meaningfully to a community that’s both international and deeply local.
This edition celebrates those stories—of people who are shaping Mallorca while being shaped by it. From those reviving heritage crafts to those launching future-facing ventures, there’s a collective momentum towards innovation grounded in tradition. Take the team at Only&Co. (page 106), blending traditional materials with contemporary design to reimagine what Mallorcan furniture can be. And Dr. José Hernández Poveda (page 112), a neurosurgeon and longevity expert, is redefining the concept of ageing here on the island—integrating cutting-edge science with holistic health practices to position Mallorca as a centre for advanced wellness.
In The Last Word, we reflect on this very shift that’s happening across the island—the blend of old and new, of tradition and innovation. It’s a gentle reminder that choosing Mallorca is not just a lifestyle choice, it’s a mindset. One that invites us to slow down enough to listen, but stay curious enough to build something meaningful.
We’ve long been passionate about helping people find their place here. Our hc/ Conscious Business Community continues to grow as a hub for connection and collaboration—bringing people together through events, retreats, and meaningful conversations to support one another personally and professionally. And when it comes to making Mallorca your home, we’re here to guide you every step of the way. To help navigate the often complex property market, our hc/ Property Buyer’s Agency offers trusted, personalised guidance throughout the home-buying process. You can discover more about how a property buyer’s agency works—and how it could benefit your move to Mallorca—on page 130.
Wherever you are on your journey—exploring, settling in, or dreaming of the next step—I hope this edition lights a spark. Mallorca has a beautiful way of guiding us home, in every sense of the word. If you’re ready to take the leap, know that we’re here to walk alongside you.
