Palma de Mallorca combines an intense tourism season with a year-round international community and a significant nautical industry.
Latest jobs in Palma
All 1 →The job market in Palma
Tourism and hospitality dominate and are sharply seasonal. Around them sit yachting and marine services, real estate, and a services economy for the large foreign resident population. Seasonal contracts are the norm rather than the exception.
Main industries
Tourism and hospitality, yachting and marine services, real estate, retail, and health services for international residents.
English-speaking work
Widely useful and often required in tourism, yachting and real estate. German is equally valuable here, and sometimes more so.
Typical salaries
Hospitality follows the sector convenio. The yachting sector pays well for qualified crew and is a genuinely international market.
Cost of living
Housing is expensive and scarce, particularly in season — this is the main practical obstacle to working here. Island logistics push other costs up too.
Getting around
Buses and a small metro and rail network. A car is close to necessary outside Palma itself.
Useful local resources
SOIB is the Balearic employment service. The yachting industry recruits largely through specialist agencies and dockside networks rather than public listings.
