Palma.—According to the result of a survey carried out by the Majorcan Hotel Federation, the majority of hotels were open for seven months this year with 80 percent of the hotel sector open for business since the end of March.
And, looking ahead to next year, according to the federation, five percent more hotels intend to open earlier than usual, at the end of March, than this year, despite Easter not falling until April. The “opening and closing” survey carried out by the federation also revealed that 284,956 beds were available for seven months of this year and that the season is gradually getting longer. The federation pointed out that during last month, October, nearly 50 percent of the island’s hotels were still open. Playa de Palma is where the most hotels remained open followed by Cala D’Or and Cala Millor.
This month, November, will see just 12.4 percent of the island’s hotels staying open with the vast majority being in Palma and along the Playa de Palma.
All of the hotels in Calas de Mallorca, Colonia de Sant Jordi, Porto Colom, Playa de Muro, Can Picafort and Camp de Mar will be closing for the winter.
