The new Mandarin Oriental hotel in Costa d'en Blanes will open in June. | Majorca Daily Bulletin reporter
The new Mandarin Oriental hotel in Costa d'en Blanes will open in June this year giving tourism in Calvia a major luxury lift. It is one of three five star hotels to open in Calvia this year, the others being the new Puro resort in Santa Ponsa and the Greek Aethos boutique hotel.
Mallorca heads to the Madrid tourism fair
The 45th Fitur tourism fair starts in Madrid on Wednesday. Where the Balearics are concerned, it is one of the three most important fairs along with Berlin and London; the Spanish tourism market is the third largest in the Balearics. For Spain as a whole, as with the Balearics specifically, the latest Fitur is being held against a background of record tourist numbers and record tourist spending. When the final figures are presented for 2024 in early February, it is anticipated that Spain will have attracted 94 million tourists, an increase of ten per cent. The expectation for the Balearics is more modest, a rise of five per cent to around 18.7 million.

JimP, can I borrow your time machine please? Would love to be able to stay at a hotel that hasn't even opened yet!!
Is that next to the new Weatherspoons?
Just what we need in Mallorca. Right?🤔
Booked in here for two weeks, left after one night. It is/was a "wedding hotel". Fine if you are invited to a wedding, but when there loud music outside your room to the wee small hours - not so much fun. After a day, went to reception to as k if there were any more weddings planned for the coming weeks - and there were - many, so check out time for me!
EnzoErm, luxury is the fastest growing tourist segment in the balearics, while "whatever is cheapest" is in decline.
For a Great Number of years the Golden Goose Mallorca has provided investor´s with more than good returns on there investment and ive been all over Mallorca for the last 40 year´s it's not going to be easy to generate 5 star client´s as they are very particular and like to hang with there 5 star friend´s , this adventure will be tricky getting to the beach parking exclusive client´s tricky stuff good personal ? Mallorca heading into unchartered water´s !
Zoltan TeglasLook at the upside, Zoltan; The ones booking these hotels are unlikely to be the all-in, gin tonic swigging, sunburned drunken cheap seekers that nobody really likes much.
More hotels! Just shows how seriously the local politicians are taking residents concerns about overcrowding.
