LOFT APARTMENT IN SANTA CATALINA
€3,200,000
A FORMER CINEMA REBORN AS A DOUBLE-HEIGHT LOFT, WITH NATURAL SANDSTONE WALLS AND A PRIVATE ROOFTOP IN THE HEART OF SANTA CATALINA
Built in the early 20th century as a neighbourhood cinema, this building stood empty for decades before being stripped back and reimagined as a residence of rare scale. The conversion preserves what matters: original sandstone block walls, industrial steel roof trusses, and double-height volumes that no new build can replicate. Floors shift between wide-plank oak and large-format porcelain tile, anchoring the different zones without walls. The main living area is anchored by a floor-to-ceiling corten steel fireplace surround and furnished with rattan pendants, reclaimed wood tables, and handmade ceramic vessels that sit comfortably against the raw structure above. A custom live-edge timber dining table defines the eating zone, framed by exposed timber beams on one side and an open view back to the living room on the other. The kitchen is fully fitted in matt dark cabinetry with a large marble-veined stone island, integrated appliances, and a separate utility area. A floating staircase with glass balustrade and backlit oak treads rises to a mezzanine level, which opens onto a generous flat rooftop terrace with views across the city to the Gothic spires of the Cathedral. Bathrooms are finished in full-height marble-effect porcelain with matt black vanity units, rain showers, and double basins. A dedicated entrance hall with skylight and private access from the street gives this property the feel of a standalone home. Parking available separately.

Santa Catalina is one of Palma's most characterful and sought-after neighbourhoods, a former fishermen's quarter just west of the centre that has become the city's most vibrant address for food, design, and everyday street life. Compact and walkable, it pairs the charm of its low-rise streets and historic windmills with a contemporary, cosmopolitan energy.
The neighbourhood is best known for its market and its dining. The Mercat de Santa Catalina anchors daily life, surrounded by a dense and ever-evolving scene of restaurants, cafés, wine bars, and independent shops that draw residents and visitors alike. Behind the bustle, quiet streets of restored townhouses and apartments offer a residential calm, with the seafront and the marina only a short walk away.
Santa Catalina appeals to those who want to live at the centre of Palma's lifestyle: international residents, professionals, and investors attracted by its energy, its walkability, and a rental market among the strongest in the city. It is for buyers who value atmosphere, community, and the everyday pleasure of a neighbourhood that genuinely lives.
