Palma’s hotel sector is poised to remain active throughout the winter, with nearly all establishments staying open during what is traditionally considered the low season.
Projections for this winter indicate a robust period for urban tourism, with visitor numbers expected to increase by 5% to 8% compared to last year.
The steady rise in urban tourism has already made the past summer particularly successful for Palma’s hospitality industry. This upward trend now extends into the winter months, enabling many hotels, especially boutique establishments, to operate year-round. Of the 80 hotels under the Palma Hotel Association, 64 will keep their doors open this winter.
Even among the 20% of hotels opting to close temporarily, most will do so for only a brief period, with January being the typical month for shutdowns.
This strong performance highlights Palma’s growing appeal as a destination beyond the traditional summer season, marking a significant shift toward year-round tourism.
