Mallorca starts 2026<\/strong> with a strong boost in the residential sector<\/strong>. According to the Economic Overview of the Balearic Islands<\/em>, prepared by the Direcci\u00f3 General d’Economia i Estad\u00edstica, approved housing units<\/strong> in Mallorca increased by 152% between January and February<\/strong> compared with the same period the previous year. Across the Balearic Islands<\/strong>, 1,404 approved housing units<\/strong> were recorded in the first two months of 2026, 109.9% more<\/strong> than in 2025.<\/p>\n

The increase in approved housing units in Mallorca comes in a context of strong momentum in the construction sector in the Balearic Islands<\/strong>, consolidating the upward trend<\/strong> seen at the end of 2025. That year, 4,842 approved housing units<\/strong> were recorded, 29.8% more<\/strong> than in 2024 and the highest level since 2009<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"Approved<\/p>\n

At the start of 2026, this trend intensified, partly as a result of the Law on Administrative Simplification and Rationalisation<\/strong>, which has helped to speed up procedures and reactivate residential projects<\/strong>, the Balearic Government reported in a statement.<\/p>\n

Employment: record Social Security affiliation in the Balearic Islands<\/h3>\n

The labour market<\/strong> also continues to show a positive trend<\/strong>. In March, Social Security affiliation<\/strong> in the Balearic Islands grew by 3.2%<\/strong>, reaching 528,048 people<\/strong>, the highest figure on record<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The increase was recorded both in the general regime<\/strong>, with a rise of 3.4%<\/strong>, and among self-employed workers<\/strong>, who grew by 2.2%<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Tourism: fewer visitors, but higher spending<\/h3>\n

The tourism sector shows a more nuanced picture<\/strong>. During the first two months of the year, total spending rose by 2%<\/strong> to 627 million euros<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

However, the number of tourists fell by 7.3%<\/strong> compared with 2025, with a sharper decline among international visitors<\/strong> (-8.4%<\/strong>) than among domestic visitors<\/strong> (-5.7%<\/strong>).<\/p>\n

Despite this, average spending per person<\/strong> reached 1,051 euros<\/strong>, 10% more<\/strong>, while daily spending<\/strong> stood at 147 euros<\/strong> (+5.7%<\/strong>), pointing to a visitor profile with greater spending power<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Services: recovery in activity<\/h3>\n

The services sector<\/strong> recovered in February from the downturn recorded in January, driven by the momentum of professional and administrative activities<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Turnover grew by 4.4%<\/strong>, almost three times the national average<\/strong>, which stood at 1.6%<\/strong> over the same period.<\/p>\n

Inflation: rise due to the geopolitical context<\/h3>\n

Price trends<\/strong> were affected by the international context<\/strong>. Instability caused by the conflict in the Middle East led to a rise in inflation in March<\/strong>, which reached 3.6% in the Balearic Islands<\/strong>, compared with 3.4% across Spain<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The rise in fuel prices<\/strong> was one of the main factors behind this increase, breaking the downward trend seen in previous months<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
