History of Palm-Mar

The village of Palm Mar has existed for many years, yet it became popular in the 80’s when a number of villas were built and the village began to grow.

Popularised by foreign residents, who enjoyed the tranquillity of the quiet location, with its light sea breezes and beautiful natural surroundings. There was a period of intense interest from the local government who saw it as an excellent location for building a new town with quality yet affordable housing for the increasing number of professionals working in the local area.

Palm-Mar in the 80ties

After a number of false starts, Palm Mar finally got underway in the mid 90’s with the thrust of developers Urbis, one of Spain’s biggest Home Builders. Plans were drawn up in 1996 for a purely residential community for this beautiful and very well-situated area.

Several plots were sold at the end of the 90’s to building companies from different European countries. The sale of each plot was irrevocably conditioned with a commitment to build only luxury developments within a very short period of time. These future developments were to have central themes like peace and tranquillity as well as strive to a total relaxation of body and mind. This means that all new residents of Palm-Mar have the privilege to occupy a dwelling finished with first quality materials and to the highest of standards, with breathtaking and eternal sea views, and positioned in an oasis of calm, tropical palm trees and all kinds of indigenous plants and flowers.
