A summer vacation at Ballermann has rarely been cheap—but now dizzying prices are looming. Those looking to relax or get active at Playa de Palma next year will have to dig much deeper into their pockets, reports BILD. Even a shady spot on the beach could become a luxury item.
Price Explosion for Loungers and Umbrellas
According to “Mallorca Magazin,” the price for a simple beach lounger is rising to ten euros per day—a 66 percent increase from 2019. Two loungers with an umbrella will now cost 30 euros, and if you want to relax on a premium lounger, you’ll pay 45 euros instead of 30. Balinese beach beds are even more expensive: the daily rate climbs from 45 to 70 euros. If you want to store valuables, you can rent a locker above the lounger for an additional five euros per day.

Water Sports Also Getting Much More Expensive
Not only is sunbathing becoming noticeably more expensive, but water activities are also turning into a costly affair. As the magazine reports, a jet ski ride will now cost 55 euros instead of the previous 30 euros. Fifteen minutes of water skiing will cost 35 euros, up from 25. Even the classic pedal boat will more than double in price, starting at 15 euros (previously from 7 euros). Flyboarding, where you are lifted into the air by a water jet, will cost 75 euros instead of the previous 65 euros.
City Administration Cites Increased Costs
The drastic price increases are explained by the city administration, according to “Mallorca Magazin,” with several factors. For one, “the consumer price index has risen by 22.4 percent since 2019.” Additionally, beach operators have recently recorded “20 percent less revenue” because tourists are increasingly spending their money elsewhere. An adjustment of prices is therefore necessary to ensure “quality and financial sustainability.”
