Why the Balearic Islands Lost So Many Restaurant Guests in 2025 — A Reality Check

Answer

Why do small restaurants in Mallorca seem to be struggling more than bigger venues?

Smaller restaurants in Mallorca usually have less room to absorb rising costs. Larger beachfront or high-end venues often have more regular customers and can pass on price increases more easily, while neighborhood businesses work with tighter margins. That makes them more vulnerable when guest numbers fall or monthly costs rise.
