Mallorca’s Balearic Islands draw 72% hotel interest

Mallorca, in Spain’s Balearic Islands: 72% of European hotel operators surveyed say they have high interest in the island group. Cushman & Wakefield’s Hotel Operator Compass Europe 2026, reported on 12 November 2026, gives the Balearics 3.4 out of 5.

The Balearics come ahead of the Costa Blanca and the Canary Islands, which each score 3 out of 5. Those destinations draw interest from 67% and 66% of operators respectively. Across coastal destinations as a whole, 72% of European operators report high or very high interest. Among chains with more than 50 establishments, that rises to 82%.

The report also ranks cities for hotel expansion. Madrid leads on 3.9 out of 5, followed by Rome and Milan on 3.8. London and Barcelona each score 3.6. The Balearic figure covers the island group, rather than giving Mallorca a separate score.
