Mallorca's 827 million euro budget: nearly half for care

Mallorca's 827 million euro budget plan puts nearly half the money into social services in 2027. The Consell de Mallorca, the island council, presented the draft in Palma on Friday, 13 November 2026. It is 65.2 million euros more than this year's budget, an increase of 8.56%.

Social services take the largest share

The council plans to spend 390.6 million euros on social services, 11.4% more than in 2026. That includes 98.7 million euros for people with disabilities, of which 93.7 million euros is for contracted care. Another 113.3 million euros is earmarked for health and social care, and 57.3 million euros for children and teenagers.

Roads and tourism also gain funding

The territory, mobility and infrastructure department is set to receive 154.3 million euros. Of that, 111.5 million euros is intended for improvements and planned projects. The draft also provides for 31 million euros towards the first section of Palma's second ring road. The Balearic government's pledged contribution for that section is to be added once approved.

Tourism is allocated 23.4 million euros, up 13.4% on this year. That includes 1.7 million euros to tackle illegal tourist offerings.

The draft now moves through the approval process. The council says a new agreement between the People's Party and Vox should allow the budget to take effect at the start of next year.
