Accommodation Note The Balearic government levies an ‘eco tax’ on people holidaying in the islands. This compulsory fee (equivalent to approximately ¬1 a day) is to be collected by accommodation providers and is, as yet, not generally included in travel agents’/brochure prices. Hotels Establishments of all categories exist in the Balearics, including hotels catering for around 230,000 visitors, chalets, apartments and bungalows. It is possible to rent furnished or unfurnished chalets for the season, although visitors must book in advance, owing to demand. Rates vary according to season and the standard of accommodation. Numerous packages are available. Camping There are nine campsites in the Balearic Islands. For further information, contact the Spanish Tourist Office (see Contact Addresses in the main Spain section).
