Building work under way on new Magalluf promenade, palms and dunes in four million euro project

The remodelling of the promenade starts at the corner of Nikki Beach and extends to the well-known Pirates Square. The promenade will undergo a complete rearrangement and beautification, with all its infrastructure and services being renewed. This includes updating the lighting, sewage system, rainwater collection with an irrigation tank, drinking water networks, irrigation network, and street furniture. Additionally, a network will be created to harness rainwater run-off for irrigation purposes. The project also entails the partial relocation of existing palm trees and the planting of new palm trees to form small oasis areas, replacing the current aligned arrangement. Artificial dunes will be placed on the beach's sand, and Mediterranean riverside shrubs will be planted on top of these dunes to stabilize them permanently. Furthermore, it is worth noting that the Magaluf promenade will soon be renamed to Gabriel Escarrer Juliá, in recognition of the founder of the Meliá Hotels International group. The initial two-year refurbishment plan has been reduced thanks to the commitment of the contractor, Amer & Sons, to just seven months, between October this year and May 2025.
