Capital isn't resting, and the Balearic Islands take the crown for Q2. Hotel investment in Spain hit €1.35 billion between April and June, according to consultancy data. Of that total, the islands captured €556 million (26% of the pie), followed by Madrid and the Costa del Sol (17% each) and the Canary Islands (15%). No coincidence: the appetite for the premium segment is driving the numbers.

What matters isn't just the volume but who is writing the cheques. Domestic capital accounted for 63.4%, with hotel chains contributing a third of the total. International investment, at 36.6%, came mainly from institutional funds. And here's the kicker: 86% of the investment went to 4- and 5-star hotels, confirming that tourism real estate is playing in the high-end space. The full data source is right here.

My take: Spanish investors are betting on hotels as a safe-haven asset again, and the Balearics are the beacon. But watch Madrid and Málaga, they are growing fast. If your portfolio isn't looking at premium, you're missing out.
