Majorca Hotel Tax Calculator
Estimate your Balearic tourist tax (eco tax) for stays in Mallorca/Majorca.
This calculator provides an estimate for planning purposes. Final amounts depend on your booking details and local rules at the time of travel.
What Is the Majorca Hotel Tax?
If you are staying overnight in Majorca (Mallorca), you will usually pay a local tourism levy often called the Balearic eco tax or sustainable tourism tax (Impost de Turisme Sostenible). It is charged per person, per night, and helps fund environmental protection, heritage projects, and sustainable infrastructure across the Balearic Islands.
The exact amount depends on your accommodation category, the season, and your length of stay. In many cases, stays longer than 8 nights receive a reduced rate from night 9 onward.
How This Calculator Works
The calculator above estimates your total using four simple factors:
- Accommodation type (higher-category properties pay higher rates)
- Check-in month to determine high or low season
- Number of nights
- Number of taxable guests (typically guests aged 16+)
It then applies a 50% reduction from night 9 onward, which is a common rule for longer stays.
Estimated Rate Bands Used
To keep things transparent, these are the nightly rates used by this estimator:
- 5★ / 4★ Superior: €4.00 high season, €1.00 low season
- 4★ / 3★ Superior: €3.00 high season, €0.75 low season
- 1★–3★ / Apartments / Rural hotels: €2.00 high season, €0.50 low season
- Hostels / Guesthouses / Campsites: €1.00 high season, €0.25 low season
- Cruise ship: €2.00 high season, €0.50 low season
Rates can change, and special situations may apply (for example, package billing, exemptions, or rule updates), so always confirm the final amount with your hotel or booking provider.
Example Majorca Hotel Tax Scenarios
1) Couple, 7 nights, 4★ hotel in July
July is high season. A 4★ hotel in this tool uses €3.00 per adult per night. For 2 adults over 7 nights: 2 × 7 × €3.00 = €42.00.
2) Family, 10 nights, apartment in August
Assume 2 adults and 2 children under 16. Only the adults are taxed in this estimate. Apartment high-season rate here is €2.00. First 8 nights are full rate, nights 9–10 are half rate: (2 × 8 × €2.00) + (2 × 2 × €1.00) = €36.00.
3) Two adults, 5★ hotel in January for 5 nights
January is low season. 5★/4★ Superior low-season rate in this tool is €1.00. Total: 2 × 5 × €1.00 = €10.00.
Tips to Avoid Surprises at Check-In
- Check whether your booking price includes local taxes or adds them at the property.
- Confirm the official property category (for example, 4★ vs 4★ superior).
- Bring a little extra budget for local charges, especially in peak months.
- If staying 9+ nights, verify how long-stay reductions are applied.
