The tourist season in the Pitiusas closed October with a notable increase in hotel profitability indicators in most municipalities, especially in Formentera and Vila, while Sant Antoni became the only area where revenue per room fell slightly compared to the previous year. This is reflected in the latest data from the Balearic Institute of Statistics (IBESTAT), which analyzes the behavior of RevPAR, the index that measures the average revenue per available room.
Formentera leads growth with 22% more revenues
The biggest increase was recorded in Formentera, where hotels reached a RevPAR of 172 euros, 22% more than in October 2024. The Lesser Pitiusa thus consolidates a particularly strong end of season, marked by high demand and sustained rates even in the final stretch of the tourist calendar.
Vila, the area with the highest revenue per room
Despite Formentera’s growth, it was the hotels in Vila that achieved the highest income for the month, with 205.5 euros per open room, up 14.2% year-on-year. Close behind was Sant Josep, with 195 euros and an increase of 4%, consolidating its position as one of the best-positioned areas in terms of profitability.
In the rest of the municipalities, performance was more moderate:
-
Sant Joan: 160 euros per room
-
Santa Eulària: 143 euros
-
Sant Antoni: 120 euros (the only area with a decrease, 2% less than in 2024).
Falling prices at five-star hotels
The IBESTAT report also reflects a sharp drop in the average daily rate of five-star hotels open in October. The average stood at 269 euros, down 22.7% compared to the same month last year.
Average prices up in most of the Pitiusas islands
In global terms, the average price of the hotel offer in Ibiza and Formentera reached 136.9 euros in October, 3.5% more than in 2024. The breakdown by area shows large differences:
-
Formentera: 159 euros (+65.5%)
-
Sant Josep: 162 euros (-2.9%)
-
Vila: 149.9 euros
-
Santa Eulària: 119 euros (+2.6%)
-
Sant Antoni: 106 euros (+3.6%)
The data confirm that, despite the decline in the luxury segment and the occasional drop in Sant Antoni, hotel profitability continues to rise in the final stretch of the season and leaves a particularly positive closing of October for most tourist areas of the Pitiusas.
