Calvià, a prominent town in Mallorca’s western region, has launched an ambitious tourism transformation initiative set to reshape the destination by 2027. With a €20 million investment, the town is focusing on upgrading infrastructure and enhancing its appeal to high-spending international visitors. Regional authorities anticipate that this investment will grow as additional projects are approved.

Major Redevelopment Projects Underway

One of the most significant developments is the overhaul of Magaluf’s Promenade, a key attraction for visitors. The €3.9 million renovation—funded by European grants and the Balearic Islands Tourism Strategy Agency (AETIB)—will modernize a 650-meter stretch, with completion set for May to minimize disruptions during peak travel seasons.

Meanwhile, the transformation of the Bulevar de Peguera is progressing with a €4.15 million budget. Supported by Next Generation funds (€2 million), the Consell de Mallorca (€750,000), and local government (€1.4 million), the project will unfold in two phases during the winter periods of 2025-2026 and 2026-2027, ensuring a seamless tourist experience.

Another critical infrastructure upgrade includes the €5.4 million refurbishment of Avenida Rei Jaume I in Santa Ponça, a joint investment by the Balearic and central governments. The project is scheduled for completion between 2024 and 2025.

Additionally, efforts to enhance natural spaces and pedestrian accessibility are gaining momentum. Next Generation funds have allocated €600,000 to renaturalize Torá Beach, while €6 million is earmarked for improving pavements and walkways, with a 2025 completion target.

Spain’s Mallorca Shifts Focus to Elite Tourism

Calvià’s redevelopment aligns with a broader goal of attracting high-net-worth travelers and extending the tourism season beyond summer. The town’s authorities are keen on luring affluent visitors from the United States, Australia, and South Korea, particularly in prime locations such as Bendinat, Portals Nous, and Illetes.

Reflecting this trend, the average nightly hotel rate in the region has surged to €200 in 2024—an 11% rise from the previous year. With 51,330 rooms available across 3- to 5-star hotels, the majority being in the 4- and 5-star categories, the town is cementing its reputation as a premier luxury destination. During winter, 24 hotels remain operational, offering over 3,300 rooms to counteract seasonality.

Expansion of Luxury Hospitality and Gastronomy

The demand for exclusive accommodations has driven a wave of high-end hotel openings. In 2025, luxury hospitality will see a boost with Aethos converting the Mar i Pins into a 5-star retreat, while Blasson Property Investments will launch the Mandarin Oriental Punta Negra, catering specifically to American travelers.

The Santa Ponça Park hotel is also set for a transformation, rebranding as the Purobeach Resort Santa Ponça. Meanwhile, the Pajarita Group is expanding its fine dining presence, introducing two new upscale restaurants in Palmanova, complementing its already popular venues, Siso Beach and Barbuda Beach.

Through these initiatives, Spain’s Mallorca is solidifying its status as a premier year-round luxury destination, blending modern infrastructure with exclusive experiences to attract the world’s most discerning travelers.
