The end of the hotel season in the Balearic Islands always arrives with a different kind of atmosphere—almost as if it belonged to an alternate reality. It’s not what we’ve grown used to over the past months. It feels like something out of a movie.
The streets become quieter, the tourist bustle slowly fades away, and for a moment, it seems as though everything stands still. But those of us who are part of the industry know that this silence is only an illusion: behind the closed gates, the wheels keep turning.
After months of intense activity, the people who bring hotels, restaurants, and cafés to life enter a phase of rest and recovery. The smiles that have greeted travelers, the daily effort, the long days, and the unwavering dedication finally give way to a time to return to oneself—to reconnect with family, with the island, with calm.
It’s the well-deserved pause of those whose energy sustains everything that happens behind the scenes: from front desk service to the kitchen, housekeeping, and guest care. November is that month when the staff breathes, reflects, and recharges, knowing that every pause is also part of the work.
Even though the season has ended, the machine doesn’t stop. Once the team can start to rest, a different rhythm begins: one of planning, renovations, training, review meetings, and new ideas taking shape. In the offices, in the storerooms, and along the empty hallways, the next season is already being dreamed.
Processes are reviewed, details adjusted, new collaborations sought, and experiences reflected upon. Because every closing is also an opportunity—to improve, to innovate, and to strengthen what makes us unique.
In the Balearic Islands, the end of the season is not a farewell, but a natural cycle.
The islands breathe, workers rest, projects are being renewed, and the community reorganizes. The energy shifts, but it doesn’t fade.
Behind every empty room lies a recent story, and behind every new project, a lesson learned from the summer. That is the magic of tourism in our islands: a living industry made of people, values, and constant movement—one that reinvents itself each year with greater awareness, sustainability, and purpose.
For us, this time is also a moment to look inward: to review the social impact of our projects, strengthen our solidarity partnerships, improve the guests’ experiences, and continue promoting local and responsible consumption. Because even when the hotel closes its doors to the public, its solidarity spirit never rests.
We keep working to ensure that each new season is more human, more connected, and more aligned with our values. And while the Mediterranean waves slow their pace, quietly, the wheels keep turning.
Ideas continue to flow, projects take shape, and the team dreams of reopening the doors—stronger, more mindful, and with the same enthusiasm as always. So now it’s time to rest, reflect on what this season has meant, pick up the plans that had been on standby, and get ready for Christmas — which is just around the corner.
