Magaluf to gain 122 new parking spaces as Calvià pushes ahead with transformation

Drivers visiting Magaluf could soon find it easier to park, with Calvià Town Hall confirming plans to create 122 new public parking spaces in the heart of the resort after completing the purchase of a long-neglected site in Torrenova.

The council has acquired 11 former commercial properties that have stood empty for years. Once home to restaurants and leisure businesses, the buildings have fallen into disrepair and will now be demolished as part of a wider regeneration project designed to improve one of Mallorca’s busiest tourist destinations.

Parking and sustainable transport

The redevelopment will create 122 parking spaces for cars alongside 72 dedicated spaces for electric bicycles, reflecting the municipality’s aim of balancing improved access for motorists with more sustainable transport options.

The project has secured more than €6 million in funding from the Balearic Government through the Sustainable Tourism Tax (ITS), covering the purchase of the land, demolition work and construction of the new public space.

Plans also include environmentally friendly features such as shaded areas, native planting and a photovoltaic canopy capable of generating renewable energy, helping to reduce the site’s environmental impact while making it more comfortable during the summer months.

Part of a wider regeneration strategy

According to Calvià Town Hall, the scheme forms part of an ongoing effort to reclaim outdated urban areas and reduce congestion in the municipality’s busiest tourist zones.

The demolition will be the third carried out during the current council term, following similar projects at the former Hotel Teix in Magaluf and the Hostal Colón in Peguera. Local leaders say these initiatives are intended to replace obsolete infrastructure with public spaces that better serve residents and visitors alike.

Mayor Juan Antonio Amengual said the project demonstrates how tourism tax revenue can be reinvested directly into local communities, creating practical improvements while helping modernise Calvià’s most visited resorts.

The additional parking is also expected to ease pressure during the peak holiday season, when finding a space in Magaluf can be particularly challenging. Situated close to the resort’s beaches and coastal access points, the new facility aims to improve both traffic flow and accessibility while supporting the area’s continuing transformation from ageing tourist infrastructure to a more modern and sustainable destination.
