Work Starts on New Meliá Hotel and Shopping Mall in Magaluf, Mallorca

Meliá Hotels International, Calviá City Hall and the Balearic Government have begun construction of a new hotel and shopping mall in Magaluf, Mallorca.

Meliá is supporting the venture by investing €45 million.

Set for completion in 2018, the complex will include an hotel, underground parking space for 200 cars and more than 5,000m² of retail, F&B outlets and terraces, which will be located parallel to Magaluf’s beachfront. The new shopping mall is expected to create more than 150 employment opportunities for seasonal and permanent workers.

Situated next to Magaluf’s promenade, the new four-star hotel will provide more than 270 rooms, rooftop and upper terrace hanging pools with views over the Mediterranean, plus a restaurant at street level open to both guests, tourists and locals. The hotel launch is expected to create 200 jobs.

Mark Hoddinott, Executive Vice President Real Estate at Meliá Hotels International and Senior Executive, said, “This new development is the best way to end a project in which the Company has worked tirelessly to make Magaluf one of the best destinations in the Mediterranean. We will maintain our commitment to making Magaluf a world leader in innovative tourism that generates value for society as a whole. This is the responsible tourism model to which we are committed and which frames our future growth.”
