Actress and influencer Anne Wünsche has abandoned her plan to move to Zurich and is instead planning a relocation to Palma in the spring. Reasons: city life, climate and proximity to infrastructure.

Anne Wünsche Chooses Palma: Spring Move Planned

The 33-year-old actress and influencer Anne Wünsche has given up her planned move to Switzerland and is instead preparing for a move to Palma de Mallorca. The transfer is planned for spring or early summer; Palma or a suburban neighborhood of the island capital are being considered as the new base.

Anyone strolling through Palma's old town these days will hear the usual mix of bicycle bells, delivery vans and the soft chatter of tourists along the Passeig del Born. For many who live here, this very urban hustle and bustle is the appeal: short distances, cafés, small shops and the ability to combine work and family life. According to Wünsche, the lifestyle, milder climate and the landscape are decisive arguments for her decision.

The decision matured during viewings while she was working on the island. Conversations with acquaintances and property excursions showed her that Palma fits her everyday life better than the Switzerland she had originally considered — despite the initial attraction of Switzerland's proximity to Berlin. A villa had been tempting for a time, but a location outside of the immediate city life ultimately wasn’t the right fit.

Practical Steps and Family Arrangements

Wünsche plans to deregister her children from Berlin and enroll them in schools on Mallorca. Entry formalities for the dogs accompanying them also appear on the to-do list. Regarding tax matters, it is known that she already has a Spanish tax number; she intends to keep her Berlin apartment for now, as professional commitments will still require regular travel to Germany.

Financially, Wünsche has specified her budget for a suitable home: for the right property she would be prepared to spend up to €16,000 per month. The current focus is on a city apartment in Palma — not primarily a villa close to the beach. This matches the description of many newcomers, as described in My Heart Pulled Me to Palma – How a German‑Austrian Couple Is Putting Down Roots Here, who value the urban offerings: good restaurants, shopping, schools and medical care close together.

What This Means for Palma

Celebrity relocations always spark discussions: they bring attention, increase demand in the housing market and occasionally create jobs in the service and creative sectors. From the island's perspective, it is also a sign that Palma is not only a holiday destination but a practical everyday center for families with diverse professional activities.

For neighbors and local businesses this means: an extra café breakfast, one more teaching hour at international schools, perhaps a handful of appointments with real estate agents or moving companies. For parents, moving from a big city like Berlin also means the challenge of reorganizing daily routines — daycare and school systems here are tightly scheduled but also offer flexible options for newcomers.

Everyday Tip from Palma

If you are planning a move to Mallorca yourself: note that viewings often take place in the morning or late afternoon when the island is a bit quieter. Agencies demand complete documentation; international families should think early about school placement and the import regulations for pets. And: a walk through the Mercat de l'Olivar quickly reveals which neighborhoods are lively in the mornings and which are rather quiet.

For Wünsche, Palma is likely to offer much of what she is looking for: proximity to the city, a vibrant scene and short distances. As with any new settlement, it will be interesting to see how quickly the family settles in and which corners of the island they choose as new favorite spots — perhaps a café at the Plaça de la Reina or a school route along the avenue to Génova.

Outlook: The move is a private step, but also a bit of everyday magic for the island: people who want to stay here make Palma more colorful. In the coming months it will be: packing boxes, sorting out formalities — and perhaps enjoying the first espresso in the new neighborhood in between.

Frequently asked questions

Is Palma a good place for families who want to live in Mallorca year-round?

Palma is often a practical choice for families because daily life is concentrated in one place. Schools, shops, restaurants and medical services are close together, which makes everyday routines easier. The city also offers the kind of urban setting that some families prefer over living farther out on the island.

What should you pack and arrange before moving to Mallorca?

A move to Mallorca usually takes more than just packing boxes. School places, pet paperwork, housing documents and tax details all need to be sorted early, especially if children and dogs are moving too. It also helps to keep some flexibility if you still travel regularly to Germany or another country.

Is Palma warmer than Switzerland for people looking to move?

Many people choose Mallorca because the climate is milder than in central Europe and winters are usually less harsh than in Switzerland. Palma can therefore feel like a more comfortable base for everyday life, especially for those who want to spend more time outdoors. The weather is one of the main reasons people consider the island in the first place.

What is daily life like in Palma old town?

Palma’s old town has a busy but manageable city feel, with cafés, small shops, bikes, deliveries and plenty of people passing through. Many residents value the short distances and the mix of work, errands and social life in one compact area. It is a good fit for people who want city convenience without the scale of a large mainland metropolis.

How do international families choose a school in Mallorca?

International families usually start by checking school availability, schedules and the distance from their home in Mallorca. In Palma, many newcomers prefer a location that keeps school runs manageable and daily routines simple. It is sensible to begin the search early, because school placement can affect the choice of neighborhood as much as the property itself.

Why do some people choose Palma instead of a villa in Mallorca?

Some newcomers prefer Palma because they want to live close to cafés, shops, schools and everyday services. A villa farther out can be attractive, but it does not suit everyone’s routine, especially if city life and short distances matter more. For many people, a city apartment in Palma feels more practical than a house near the beach.

What is Mercat de l'Olivar like for people living in Palma?

Mercat de l'Olivar gives a good sense of how Palma works in everyday life. Mornings are especially lively, and the market helps people see which parts of the city are active and which are quieter. For newcomers, it can be a useful way to understand the rhythm of the neighborhood before choosing where to live.

How much can housing in Palma cost for a premium rental?

Premium rentals in Palma can be expensive, especially for people looking for a central location and good space. The market can move quickly, so serious tenants usually need clear documents and a well-defined budget. In some cases, families searching for the right home may be prepared to pay a very high monthly amount for the right property.
