For foreign investors, the Balearics are becoming increasingly attractive. Traditionally, this investment has been in the real estate and hotel sectors, but a company that specialises in mergers and acquisitions, OnetoOne Corporate Finance, says that investment is now reaching other sectors - medical, pharmaceutical, sport, for example.

This said, the most high-profile examples of foreign investment continue to be in the traditional sectors. For instance, the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority, the third largest sovereign fund in the world, reached an agreement with Meliá to buy seven hotels in Mallorca. Swiss investment company Stoneweg purchased the Be Live Hotel Palace de Muro from Globalia; the US Hyatt Group will manage it.
