Once the hotel has been demolished the 2,000 square metre site will be transformed into a park area, giving the main area of Magalluf a lift. Hotel Teix is right in the centre of the "main party area" of the resort so popular with British tourists. It is all part of the council's plan to rid Magalluf of its "bad boy" image.
An additional three million euros has been earmarked for Phase 2 of the Magalluf promenade. Building work on Phase 1 is already under way with the council stating that building work will be completed before the start of the holiday season.
Additionally, one million euros has been earmarked for further improvements in the Torrenova area. Over the last decade millions of euros has been invested in Magalluf by both the private and public sector.
The Calvia council will have a total of 122 million euros next year. A sizeable chunk will be spent on improvements in the municipality.

It's the usual contradiction with the goverment. Not enough housing and now they spend 4 million euros to demolish a building! Maybe better spend the money to convert it etc for housing. It's the same attitude to limit the tourists and then advertise to get more Americans to visit. The usual incoherent approach.
Sounds like the continued killing off of the party resort which I know I'm probably alone in saying it's such a shame. That clientelle has been loyal to Magaluf for milenia, I go there rarely but I like the fact there is somewhere a bit more wild to go on occassion but like the rest of Mallorca its just getting more and more expensive. The noise is mostly about rental costs and PP say its all about replacing cheap tourism with 'quality' tourism but all that creates is the gentrification that exacerbates the problem they need to resolve. As I say I know I'm probably alone and its a bit of a dirty secret of mine but I'll be sorry to see Magaluf die.
Sound´s like a Great project if every thing goes ahead at a relatively speedy pace it will take at least 3 ,4 year´s to get permission and organise contractor´s to do the work as has been said the DARK PARK seem´s a great attraction for prositiution and Pharmasutcal business looks like super social housing but not good enough , well good luck and Merry Christmas .
No doubt it will take the Council five years to get the necessary demolition “permissions”, so why not take over the running in the meantime - and offer only fixed, five year leases? Plenty of takers, I’m sure.
My initial thought on reading this headline was to convert the Hotel to Apartments. But it may not be a sound enough building etc. So to put a Park Area in its place, will become a suspect area at night.
