Both! While most are based in Mallorca, 70% of our models regularly work in major international markets like Miami, New York, Hamburg, Milan, and Paris. Many are signed with top agencies like Elite or IMG as secondary representation. They combine the relaxed island lifestyle with global careers – giving you experienced professionals who are camera-ready and worldly. Additionally, our models’ Spanish residency means they can travel cost-effectively throughout Europe. We also have excellent contacts in Barcelona (45-minute flight!), Madrid, and Valencia, with mainland models often combining jobs with island holidays, reducing travel costs. This unique constellation gives you access to local talent and international experience at competitive rates.

Our international clients consistently praise our professional approach and reliability. Recently, Adrian Spóz, Creative Director at Coccodrillo (CDRL S.A.), wrote: “Your proactive and transparent way of working is remarkable and builds a high level of trust. We are very pleased to have found such a committed partner.” This reflects what we hear regularly – clients appreciate our direct communication with models and families, our transparent processes, and our commitment. Many projects that start as single shoots develop into long-term partnerships, with clients specifically requesting us as their “fixed partner for future model shootings” throughout Spain and beyond.

The MALLORCA MODELS international has been the premier address for international fashion productions and commercial shoots in the Balearics for a quarter century. With 300+ professional models and clients like LIDL, we’ve established ourselves as market leaders. Our advantages: 200+ models bookable from Palma de Mallorca (no travel costs!), multilingual team, and models who work regularly not only locally but also internationally. Upon request, we offer complete service – from casting to locations, photographers to permits. Recent example: A New York brand flew in just their Art Director, we handled everything else – result: Award-winning campaign, 50% under budget.

That’s our specialty! Our models are experienced with luxury brands and comfortable in high-end settings. Many have special skills like sailing, diving (certified!), or water sports. We work regularly with luxury hotel chains and international yacht manufacturers.

Smart question! By special arrangement, we offer “weather bookings” – free rescheduling to an agreed alternative date in case of unsuitable weather. With 300+ sunny days, the risk is minimal, but we’re prepared. Our local models are flexible for date changes (no flight rebookings needed!). Rescheduling possible until 12:00 PM the day before.

Important: Cancellations without weather options may incur costs depending on timing (7+ days in advance free, then scaled up to 100% for no-shows). Details in our booking terms.

Fashion and commercial shoots typically range between €850-1,500/day plus our 20% agency commission. Important: We don’t “set” the prices, but match models within your budget whose individual rates fall within this range. Final costs depend on several factors: brand recognition, desired usage rights (buyouts may apply additionally), shoot duration, and model experience. Our rates are approximately 30-40% more competitive than Milan or Paris while maintaining the same professional standards. We always provide transparent quotes including all additional costs like travel time or special requirements.

Absolutely! We have many real couples in our roster – from newly in love to long-term partners. The chemistry between real couples is priceless and can’t be faked. Our real couples are perfect for wedding venues, jewelry advertising, or romantic hotel campaigns. Many are models themselves or a combination of model and partner – giving you professional experience with authentic connection.

Yes, but we have a better solution! We specialize in real families – at least one parent is always booked together. This has enormous advantages: children are more relaxed, no additional chaperones needed, more natural interactions, and significantly fewer complications on set. Our family models range from classic Mallorca families to international families living here. For luxury hotels and family resorts, this is the gold standard – authentic family moments instead of staged scenes.

Yes. UGC (User Generated Content) is authentic-feeling reel and photo material that a model produces themselves in their own setting — vertical for TikTok and Instagram, often with voice-over in German, English or Spanish. Brands use UGC specifically for performance ads, because it converts better on social channels than classic studio material.

Our models are particularly well-suited: photographically professional, multilingual, and able to use the Mallorca setting authentically — beach, outdoor, Mediterranean architecture, boutique hotels, pool lifestyle. We match by brief: send us your requirement (use case, desired hooks, format, usage rights), and we propose three to five suitable models. On request combinable with a classic shoot on the same day — both from one source, one briefing, one day on site.

More about it on our dedicated UGC – Content Creators page.

Yes, with passion. Best Age models from 40+ to 80+ are a dedicated division at our agency – curated, full of character and real stories in every face. Everything about it on our BESTAGE International page.

We’re looking for both new faces (without prior experience) in the Balearics and international professional models! For beginners: No age limit – what matters is discipline, reliability, and enjoying being in front of the camera. Remember: invest in yourself first (professional book), then generate income. For professionals: Current comp card and portfolio highlights are sufficient for first impressions. Especially sought: Local models in Mallorca, Ibiza, or the Canary Islands (preferably from 174cm or at least 180cm for men) who are bookable without travel costs. Application: Meaningful photos, age, height, home airport via email to Rafael: rafa@themallorcamodels.com. All details and benefits of agency representation can be found on our model application page.

May through July is prime time for swimwear, beach editorials, and lifestyle campaigns – stable weather, clear light, empty beaches in the early morning. September and October are ideal for fashion and commercial work with softer autumn light and mild temperatures. Winter shoots for pre-spring collections are increasingly popular because many other Mediterranean destinations are unreliable weather-wise during those months, while Mallorca still delivers consistent shoot days in January and February. With over 300 days of sunshine per year, the island works year-round. We coordinate locations, permits, and models for any season – and book early during the high-demand months because the best spots and models go quickly.

All our models speak at least English, German, and Spanish fluently – multilingualism is standard with us, not a bonus. Many also bring Italian, French, Russian, Polish, or Scandinavian languages. For voice-overs in social media Reels, international commercials, and multilingual campaigns, this is a decisive advantage – the model can record the pitch in the native language without needing a separate voice actor. When briefing, you can filter by preferred language, and we will suggest matching models. Our in-house booking team also works EN/DE/ES – you will be looked after in the language you reach out in.

Founder Silvia de Couët and Managing Director Harald are behind The Mallorca Models international. Silvia built the agency on Mallorca over 20 years ago – first as a photographer on the island, then as a pioneer in international Best-Age and family modeling. Today she lives and works between her Swiss base in Zug and Mallorca, reflecting the international orientation of the company. The ARTE documentary three years ago focused on the boom in Best Age models, featuring our then 80-year-old Renate at its heart – Silvia organized the shoot and was interviewed at length. Before that, a 5-minute segment aired on EuroMaxx, broadcast in 20 countries.

In parallel with the agency, Silvia is also active as an AI pioneer: together with Claude (Anthropic), she writes books and develops the model management platform Model Revolution (live at modelrevolution.ai). She writes about her work at the intersection of human and AI on de-couet.com – in March 2026 she was a guest on the Investment Babos podcast on this very topic, with two hours of recording time the longest episode in the show six-year history.

Day-to-day booking on the island is led by Head Booker Rafael; industry leaders such as Gitta Saxx (Playmate of the Century) contribute model-management expertise for our Best-Age and New-Face development. More about our entire team here.
