Refined Mallorca

Background: Refined Mallorca, a property development portfolio team that promotes the ‘real Mallorca’, likes to do things on the small-but-perfectly-formed scale. Co-director and part-time viticulturist Klaus Heinemann explained that the business only takes on one very select property a year to renovate and then rents out to its discerning customers. “Our properties are in prime locations,” Klaus tells Barlow Tyrie, “We have penthouse apartments in central Palma with stunning views of the cathedral as well as beautiful houses in the countryside.” He went on to explain the business’ background, “In around 2006, my business partner and I started developing properties in Amsterdam and discovered Barlow Tyrie furniture in the process. We then found there was an opportunity to develop in Spain, but on a larger scale. Now we spend more time here when the weather is good and don’t have to deal with too much of the rain in Amsterdam!”

Solution: Refined Mallorca’s Finca Son Fornes site sits on 50 acres of land and is located in a rural idyll far from the tourist-heavy crowds of Palma. Each property has its own private space, set far back from any roads. The team placed Barlow Tyrie furniture brought over from a previous Amsterdam roof terrace project which included Horizon sun loungers, dining tables and chairs. Klaus and his team were amazed to find that, with a little bit of cleaning effort, the chairs and loungers (now already over ten years old) were made to look like new again. This longevity has given Refined Mallorca confidence to not only complete their current rental portfolio with Napoli parasols and classic London benches but also acquire further Barlow Tyrie ranges for their third upcoming Finca Son Fornes residence due for completion in 2021.
