According to the latest Hotel Price Index issued by the website Hoteles.com, hotel prices by room and per night in the Balearics were the highest of any region of Spain during the first half of this year, with Ibiza having the highest of all. The average there was 173 euros per night, ten euros more than in 2014.
In Majorca, the average price was 136 euros, an increase of 2% over last year, which makes the island the fifth most expensive destination in Spain. Hoteles.com says of Majorca that its wide cultural offer and a great capacity to adapt to an international market have made it the leading global centre of tourism, the most popular destination for visitors from northern Europe.

I visit this beautiful island at least 2-3 times per year almost always alcudia . The last2 years my normal resort has increased so much it is now untenable for us to stay, they have simply priced themselves out the market as far as I am concerned., the only breadwinner in my household due to wife's poor health. This year we took the plunge and hired a villa through a well known company and at half the price of the resort. I understand the need to "turn a profit" I accept that , but clearly repeat business and loyal guests are what keeps the business flowing. I found out this evening that the prices for next year have risen by 165 euro per person per week, the villa.... Same price. Will I ever find somewhere else to vacate to ... Probably not I consider alcudia the greatest place to visit in Europe and I have visited countless places. But thankfully retailers and restaurants are thriving and the prices are competitive and affordable, to them I say thank you . To the resorts a 15 per cent increase may seem attractive to you but if visitors do as I do and go elsewhere , 15 per cent of nothing is nothing .
