Empty Beaches in the Southwest: What the Numbers Say — and What They Conceal

Answer

Why were the beaches in Calvià so quiet in summer 2025?

The beach monitoring data for Calvià showed that no beach in the municipality reached more than half occupancy during summer 2025. Son Matias came closest, while places like Magaluf and Santa Ponça stayed well below that level. The figures suggest a noticeably quieter season, but they do not automatically tell us whether that is good or bad for Mallorca’s local economy.
