Typical Balearic / Mallorca tax bands
Rates below are common planning values used by many travelers. Always verify with your hotel, booking platform, or official sources because legislation can change.
| Accommodation category | High season (€/person/night) | Low season estimate* |
|---|---|---|
| 5★ / 4★ superior / luxury | €4.00 | €1.00 |
| 4★ / 3★ superior | €3.00 | €0.75 |
| 3★ / apartments / rentals | €2.00 | €0.50 |
| Hostels / guesthouses / campsites | €1.00 | €0.25 |
*Low-season values above use a 75% reduction model. The calculator also supports a 50% discount from night 9 onward when enabled.
How this calculator estimates your total
- Step 1: Select your accommodation category (base rate).
- Step 2: Choose season (high season or reduced low season).
- Step 3: Enter taxable guests (age 16+).
- Step 4: Enter number of nights.
- Step 5: Optionally apply long-stay discount from night 9 onward.
Example calculation
Suppose 2 adults stay 10 nights in a 4★ hotel in August. Base rate is €3.00. Nights 1–8 are full rate; nights 9–10 are half rate if long-stay discount applies.
- First 8 nights: 8 × €3.00 = €24.00 per adult
- Night 9–10 at 50%: 2 × €1.50 = €3.00 per adult
- Total per adult: €27.00
- Total for 2 adults: €54.00
Tips for travelers to Mallorca
1) Ask what is already included
Some booking prices exclude the tourist tax and collect it at check-in. Others include it in the total. Confirm before arrival.
2) Budget it per person, not per room
The tax is usually charged per person per night, so family and group trips can add up quickly.
3) Check age rules for your children
Traveling with younger children can significantly change the payable amount because under-16 guests are typically exempt.
4) Longer trips may cost less per night after day 8
If applicable, the long-stay reduction can lower the average tax rate for extended holidays.
