The Völkers House makes it count
Mallorca is slowly transforming from a package holiday hotspot to a luxury retreat. We like. And what we also like: The Völkers House, which recently opened.
The real (estate) deal
Location: Mallorca, Spain
Take 100 horses, 28 hectares, build 15 suites in four houses, and what do you get? The Völkers House. The new country estate of Christian Völkers, founder of the real estate company Engel & Völkers, and his wife Ninon Völkers cleverly reinterprets what a luxury destination can look and feel like. The math checks out, but more importantly: it just feels right.
Here, heritage is reinvented as Richard Meier’s signature rational architecture meets Mallorcan craftsmanship. It pairs clean lines with the softer textures of wood, rattan, and natural stone, while floor-to-ceiling windows frame the landscape, ensuring a direct connection between the inner and outer premises.
Authenticity and thoughtful luxury dominate, and one can choose between the Polo Master Suite, the Pool Suites, Garden Suites, The Courtyard Collection, and entire Residences. All share a spiritual and spatial proximity to equestrian sports, while tennis and wellness facilities are also present.
The choice of Mallorca is a very deliberate and thoughtful one, as the island has played a special role in both Christian Völkers' personal life and his entrepreneurial journey. After welcoming guests at their own home on the island, Völkers and his wife created a retreat with a team of internationally renowned architects, designers, and hospitality experts, where nature, design, well-being, sports, and especially the art of "time well spent" truly count. And after all, it’s just the beginning: Völkers plans to expand the franchise to other destinations.
The ambition was never to build a hotel. It was to create a setting where guests feel the ease of a friend’s home – only with more space to breathe, and the freedom to fully engage with life.
Each property shall have its own character while sharing the same philosophy: creating places that bring people together and foster meaningful, long-term relationships beyond real estate. Though privately owned by the Völkers family, it follows a long-term commitment to quality, authenticity, and personal hospitality. While operating independently from the Engel & Völkers Group, both worlds remain closely connected through the values that have always guided the company – passion, competence, exclusivity, and trusted relationships. An estate rooted in tradition, dedicated to the art of living well.
