## Article

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.

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.
