44 euros per set: how much does a beach day cost in Mallorca in summer 2026. The beach season in Mallorca has kicked off with record price variations: from 5 to 44 euros for renting a sunbed, umbrella, and additional services. The cost of a beach day can differ greatly depending on the municipality. We look into where and what you’ll have to pay for this summer.

At the start of the 2026 beach season, tourists and residents of Mallorca encountered an unexpectedly wide range of prices for sunbed and umbrella rentals. In some areas, the base set goes for a symbolic 5 euros, while in others, the full package with additional services can reach up to 44 euros per day.

The most affordable offer right now is in Son Servera: here, renting a sunbed or umbrella costs only 5 euros. At the other end is Sant Llorenç des Cardassar, where for 44 euros you can get two special loungers, an umbrella, and a personal safe box for valuables. In between these extremes are dozens of options: for example, on Playa de Palma a set with a sunbed, umbrella, and safe costs 20 euros, while two sunbeds will cost 30 euros.

Price variation by region

In Port de Pollença, renting two sunbeds with an umbrella is 21 euros per day. In Port d'Alcúdia, the full package can be booked online for 18.20 euros, which is convenient for those who prefer to plan ahead. In Calvià, a sunbed or umbrella costs 6.50 euros, while in Peguera, a Balinese bed is 30 euros per day or 15 euros if you arrive after lunch.

Even within a single municipality, prices can vary. In Manacor, for example, at Porto Cristo beach, a set costs 10.50 euros, while at Cala Anguila or Cala Romántica, it's only 5.50 euros per item. In some locations, the service is not yet available or an operator hasn't been designated, so rates may be announced later.

What affects the price

The price depends not only on the location but also on the range of services. In some places, you pay only for a sunbed or an umbrella, while elsewhere, you pay for an extended package that includes a safe, two sunbeds, or other options. The presence of a safe often increases the total cost: on Playa de Palma, a set with a safe costs 20 euros, and two sunbeds cost 30 euros.

Some areas offer discounts depending on the time of day: in Peguera, a Balinese bed is half-price in the afternoon. Online booking, as in Port d'Alcudia, helps to avoid queues and uncertainty onsite.

What to pay attention to

Before paying, carefully check what is included in the selected rate. In some places, the price is listed for each item, in others—for the whole package. It's important to clarify whether the package includes an umbrella, a safe, or a second sunbed, as well as if there are time-based discounts or online booking options. In some areas, such as Can Picafort, the service is not yet operating and prices have not been announced.

Those who want to save should compare offers from different beaches and areas in advance. The difference between 5 and 44 euros per day can be significant, especially for families or those staying for several consecutive days.

Context and trends

The sharp variation in prices for beach services is not the only feature of this season. As in other sectors, the cost of a holiday in Mallorca increasingly depends on the specific location and the range of additional options. A similar situation is observed elsewhere: for example, the cost of pilot training in Spain can also differ significantly depending on the school and region, as a recent article about a young instructor from Madrid showed — details on prices and nuances of the profession.

In the end, when planning a beach day in Mallorca, it is important not only to choose a beautiful place but also to calculate your budget in advance—so that comfort does not turn into unexpected expenses.
