Majorca, a once-popular holiday spot for Irish travelers, is seeing fewer visitors as tourists complain about high costs and overcrowding. Many are now choosing cheaper Caribbean destinations instead.
The shift comes as travelers grow frustrated with rising prices and the impact of mass tourism. Some long-time visitors say they won’t return.
The Majorca Daily Bulletin recently asked Facebook users for their thoughts. One frequent visitor, who had been traveling to the island for 21 years, said firmly: “No… not coming back.“
Others shared similar frustrations. A traveler who had visited since 1990 and even owned an apartment there said: “I sold it in 2019. It’s cheaper to go to the Caribbean now. Maybe I’ll try Greece next year.”
Another complained about costs: “Spain is too expensive. I won’t go back until prices drop. The tourist tax is a rip-off.”
A former resident blamed local policies: “It’s not the foreigners’ fault—it’s the government’s. The island has changed too much.“
Some pointed to small but costly issues, like beach fees: “€20 for a sunbed? Overpriced shops? No thanks.“ Others raised concerns about water quality in areas like Alcudia.
Even loyal visitors feel unwelcome now. One said: “I’ve loved Puerto Pollensa since 2003, but two years ago, I felt like they didn’t want me there. I’m done.“
With tourists turning away, Majorca’s appeal as a top holiday destination may be fading.
