The autonomous community of the Balearic Islands is comprised of four main islands – the largest and most populous of which is Mallorca, which had a population of over 966,000 inhabitants as of January 2025. Meanwhile, the second island on the list, Ibiza, was home to roughly 163,000 inhabitants. With its crystal-clear beaches, the autonomous community of the Balearic Islands attracts millions of domestic and international visitors each year. Which Balearic Island receives the most tourists? Mallorca received the lion's share of tourist arrivals in the Balearic Islands in 2022. That year, nearly 70 percent of tourists in the Balearic Islands visited Mallorca, and this figure remained relatively consistent with the previous three years. The island is a particularly popular travel destination for Germans. In 2022, the number of German tourist arrivals in Mallorca was 3.9 million. How many tourists visit Spain each year? Spain ranked second on the World Tourism Organization’s list of most visited countries in the world in 2023, with 85 million foreigners having visited that year. The Mediterranean country is also one of Europe’s favorite holiday destinations. France, Germany, and the United Kingdom were some of the leading countries to visit Spain in 2023. That year, over 17 million tourists came from the United Kingdom alone.

As of July 2024, the total population of the Balearic Islands stood at 1.24 million. The largest age group in the autonomous community were those between 45 and 49 years old, totaling 107,990. On the other hand, those older than 90 years amounted to only slightly over 11,000. Mallorca is the Balearic island with the largest population.

Mallorca is a very popular travel destination among Germans: on top of the approximately 1.8 million tourist arrivals from other Spanish regions, approximately four million visits from the central European country were registered by the island in 2023. With a wide margin, residents of the United Kingdom were the second-largest international group to enjoy the sun on the Spanish destination. Mallorca is the largest of the Balearic Islands, which constitute one of Spain’s 17 autonomous communities and are home to a population of over 1.2 million people. Summer: the favorite season for tourism in the Balearics The Mediterranean spot is an attractive sunny retreat for many Europeans in search of some summer relaxation. In 2022, the Balearic Islands welcomed more than 60 percent of its annual international inbound air passenger traffic between June and September, registering around two million arrivals each month. International holidaymakers are key drivers of the tourism sector in the region: foreign tourists stayed on average 6.7 days enjoying the islands’ great weather in 2022, a less than seven percent decrease from the previous year. Similarly, the per capita daily expenditure of international travelers in the Balearic Islands decreased to 158 euros in 2022. Tourism is key both for the Islands and for the country Tourism has grown to become one of the most important sectors not only for the Spanish community but for the entire country. After increasing steadily over the last years, the contribution of tourism to Spain’s GDP stood at approximately 160 billion euros in 2022, being forecasted to reach over 164 billion in 2023. This sector also boosted the Spanish employment market by experiencing a significant improvement in the number of people employed apart from the pandemic years.

In 2022, the number of international tourists visiting the Balearic Islands surpassed 13 million, exhibiting a full recovery from the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic's impact on inbound tourism. In 2020, inbound tourism numbers to the Mediterranean archipelago had plummeted below the two-million mark, after a decade of uninterrupted growth. Comprised of four main islands and a combined population of around 1.2 million people, this Spanish autonomous community is a popular holiday retreat for many Europeans.

Sun and beach tourism

The Balearic Islands are famous for their sunny weather and stunning beaches with crystal-clear waters and white sand. In recent years, the average stay of international overnight visitors has been around a week, while the average spending for the entire trip has stayed above one thousand euros.

Contribution of tourism to the Balearic economy

In addition to the foreign visitors, this Spanish insular territory also receives more than two million domestic tourist arrivals each year, except during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic in 2020. In that year, the contribution of the tourism sector to the Balearics’ gross domestic product (GDP) had fallen dramatically; and despite the growth of 95 percent in 2021, the share still did not reach the pre-pandemic level of more than 40 percent. The region earned close to 8.4 billion euros from tourism in 2021.
