Mallorca: The largest Balearic island continues to be the No. 1 holiday destination for Germans, Britons and … Europeans. The sunny island of Mallorca is located around 170 kilometres from the Spanish mainland in the western Mediterranean. Millions of holidaymakers from all over the world visit the island every year. Demand for property on the largest Balearic island continues to rise, despite high prices.
Are more and more high earners from the D-A-CH region moving to Mallorca?
This is obviously also due to the increasing migration of high earners and the wealthy from Good Old Germany. In addition to hotels, the island’s restaurants also shine with offers in all price categories. A well-known chef from fashionable Geneva recently praised: ‘Mallorca’s good and best restaurants satisfy the demands of even the most discerning palates. This also applies to fincas, boutique hotels and exquisite guesthouses. Everyone will be happy on this great island.’
There were massive slumps during the Covid-19 pandemic, but the island remained very popular
During the pandemic, numerous formerly successful restaurants, hotels, fincas and other relevant service providers have collapsed. Here are a few impressions of Mallorca from October 2020. Things were already slowly picking up again in 2021. Even surprisingly strong in 2022. This continued in 2023. 2024 could be a record year for the Balearic island.
Dr Markus Krall, Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones: the island remains extremely attractive
Majorca also recorded a high celebrity density during the pandemic: Word of the island’s appeal has spread around the world. Many national and international celebrities, such as Dr Markus Krall, actor Michael Douglas and Helene Fischer, have been drawn to the sunny island and even own their own homes there. The tranquillity of the Balearic island during this globally significant health disaster prompted a surprising number of decision-makers to spend the winter here in 2020/2021. Not a bad decision, the author can confirm.
Why Majorca is so attractive?
The island is still the most attractive location for travellers & residents from all over Europe.
Why is Mallorca so popular? We show some aspects of why the island is the perfect place to live and holiday.
The 2900 hours of sunshine per year are just as much an attraction as the mild winters and pleasant spring temperatures, the beautiful summers and pleasant autumnal climate conditions reminiscent of our summer in October & November. Even in winter it is often sunny, but there are a few heavy winter storms.
Is everything going well on this popular Balearic island in 2024?
The 2024 season in Mallorca shows interesting changes compared to 2023. The main season is expected to last longer, with many hotels and restaurants staying open until the end of October or even mid-November. Prices for hotels, flights and car hire have increased compared to 2023.
This is partly due to increased demand and inflation. Nevertheless, there are always bargains to be had. There are new bans and restrictions to protect the environment and reduce pollution on the island. In line with this, disposable plastic, beach fires and large events are no longer permitted in certain places.
The masses of travellers are being stopped:
The images of the past with overcrowded beaches & hotels should no longer exist on the island. Quality before quantity. On 10 May 2024, the German-language Mallorca Magazin published the following momentous headline: ’18,000 guest beds cancelled: Island council sets new upper limit for tourism growth on Mallorca’.
It continues: ‘Just two days ago, the president of the regional government, Marga Prohens, announced the opening of dialogue forums to redesign the islands’ tourism model. ‘The islands have reached their limits,’ said the Balearic leader.’
