Drone Services in Mallorca
Upscale fincas, golf resorts, sailing, and a strong international real estate market. Mallorca is the more upmarket sibling to Ibiza, with year-round drone work.
Mallorca's drone market is broader and steadier than Ibiza's. Luxury finca rentals across the Tramuntana, golf resorts in the south, sailing and yacht photography around Palma and Port d'Andratx, and a strong international real estate market (German, British, Scandinavian buyers) all generate demand. The island's varied geography, from mountain villages to cliff-top homes and the long sandy beaches of the south coast, keeps content varied. AESA's national rules apply, with Palma Airport controlling airspace over much of the south coast.
Top drone services in Mallorca
Luxury Finca and Real Estate
High-end villa and finca listings across the Tramuntana, Pollensa, and the Andratx coast routinely use drone marketing. International buyers rely on aerial video and dedicated drone tours to commit to viewings.
Golf Course Aerial Photography
Mallorca's network of championship golf courses (Son Vida, Pula, Alcanada) commission aerial coverage for marketing and tournament events. Shoulder-season shoots avoid disrupting play during peak tourism months.
FPV Cinematic Videography
First-person-view pilots produce smooth flythrough footage for finca interior tours, resort walkthroughs, and yacht content. FPV has become standard for premium villa marketing because the format conveys spatial scale and finish quality better than static video.
Sailing and Yacht Photography
Sailing schools, charter companies, and yacht brokerages around Palma, Port Adriano, and Port d'Andratx commission constant aerial content. Both still photography and short-form video for social are recurring deliverables.
Tourism and Resort Marketing
Resort hotels and tourism brands across the island commission aerial content year-round, with the north coast (Pollensa, Alcudia) and the south-east beaches dominating the locations list.
Drone regulations in Mallorca
Spain's AESA regulates drone flight under EU Open and Specific category rules. Pilots need operator registration and the appropriate competency certificate. Palma de Mallorca Airport has a large controlled airspace footprint over the south of the island. Tramuntana and other natural parks have their own takeoff/landing restrictions, and beach overflights with bathers in summer require specific clearance. Sa Calobra and other tight-coastline locations are popular but tightly regulated.

Frequently asked questions
Can drones fly in the Tramuntana mountains?
Mostly yes, with takeoff and landing restrictions in some natural park zones. Many of the photogenic mountain villages (Valldemossa, Deia, Soller) sit just outside protected boundaries and offer good launch points. Pilots usually scout permitted launch locations in advance and stay clear of bird-nesting cliffs in spring.
How does Palma Airport airspace affect Mallorca shoots?
Palma Airport's controlled airspace covers most of the south coast, including Palma itself, Magaluf, and parts of Llucmajor. Flights inside that footprint need AESA notification or specific authorisation depending on the operation category. Northern coast and Tramuntana locations are usually outside the airport footprint and easier to plan.
What's a typical Mallorca drone shoot cost?
Finca and villa marketing shoots are usually EUR 400 to 900 for a half day. Golf course aerial coverage runs EUR 500 to 1,500 per project. Sailing and yacht content is typically EUR 500 to 1,500 depending on vessel size. Premium resort campaigns are quoted per project. On Terasor, pilots quote directly and you compare bids.
How do I hire a drone pilot in Mallorca on Terasor?
Three charter types cover most Mallorca work. Quote-Based charters let you describe what you need and compare bids from AESA-licensed pilots before accepting one. Fixed-Price charters mean you set the location, EUR budget, and deadline, and pilots submit footage directly. Livestream charters connect you with a pilot for real-time coverage, priced per minute. Payments are held in Stripe escrow until the work is approved.
Can I hire a drone pilot in Mallorca today?
Often yes. Fixed-Price charters open to pilot submissions within 30 minutes of posting, Quote-Based charters support 'ASAP' and 'Today' timing, and Livestream charters cover real-time work. Same-day flights inside Palma Airport's controlled airspace need AESA notification, which adds time. Most northern coast and Tramuntana locations are quicker to plan.
Can I hire an FPV drone pilot in Mallorca?
Yes. FPV is now standard for premium finca and resort marketing in Mallorca. First-person-view pilots produce smooth flythrough footage that conveys interior flow and outdoor space in a way conventional drones cannot. FPV pilots list their equipment and specialty in their Terasor profiles so you can filter for them when posting a charter.
