Overview
- Palma’s published 2026 concession schedule puts a standard lounger at €10 per day and an umbrella at €10, making a two-lounger-plus-umbrella setup about €30.
- Premium seating will rise to €45 per day and balinese beds to €70, while beach safes increase to €5.
- Watersport prices also jump, with jetskis at €55, pedal boats at €15 or €25 for larger models, flyboards at €75, and 15 minutes of waterskiing at €35.
- The city cites a 22.4% consumer price increase since 2019 and reports of roughly 20% lower operator revenues as reasons for the new tariffs, with references to maintaining quality and competitiveness with other Balearic islands.
- Operators warn some rates could go even higher due to staffing, maintenance and licensing costs, while tourists voice frustration and analysts note uncertainty over how demand and revenues will respond in the 2026 season.
