Tourism is by far the biggest industry on the island, it boasts the largest percentage of the economy and contibutes to a significant rise in population during the summer months. This subsequently gives rise to short stay and temporary accomodation. But with thousands of hotels to choose from, the purpose of your stay will no doubt indicate which is the right option for you.

Families looking for a reasonably price holiday are sure to find something suitable in either the North or the East coast of the island. Hotels in these areas offer all inclusive facilites, hotel entertainment programs and kid clubs that lighten the burden on parents wanting time for themselves.

Along the South coast are reasonably cheap hotels that offer guests a great location near the nightlife and near the beach. Hotels in the capital Palma, tend to cater for the 'city break' market and business conferences. However in the old town there are a number of inexpensive hostels that are a haven for backpackers and young travellers.
