How does Menorca’s tourist tax work?
Menorca’s tourist accommodation tax contributes to the Balearic sustainable tourism fund. It applies to stays in tourist accommodation, including hotels and holiday rentals. See the Balearic tax agency’s explanation.
What are the rates?
The following examples are the statutory daily rates per taxable guest, before reductions or any applicable VAT:
| Hotel category | Daily rate |
|---|---|
| Five stars, five-star luxury or four-star superior | €4 |
| Four stars or three-star superior | €3 |
| One, two or three stars | €2 |
Holiday homes generally have a €2 rate; hostels and campsites have a €1 rate. Other accommodation classifications have their own rules. Confirm your property’s category and final payable amount with the accommodation provider. The full classification is in Article 13 of the consolidated law.
Reductions and exemptions
Children under 16 are exempt. Low season, from 1 November to 30 April, attracts a 75% reduction. From the ninth day of a stay in the same establishment, a further 50% reduction applies to those additional days. See Articles 5 and 13.
Before booking, ask whether the quoted total includes the tourist tax and request an itemised breakdown. Keep the payment receipt with your booking documents.
