Meliá Hotels Unveils €200,000 Eclipse Package for 2 Balearic Hotels

3 articles · Updated · Euronews · Jul 8

Summary

  • Meliá Hotels International is selling a €200,000-per-journey solar eclipse package, with just one booking available at each of two Balearic properties in Mallorca and Menorca.
  • The offer targets the 12 August 2026 total solar eclipse, when Spain will host Europe’s largest area of totality and the Balearic Islands are expected to offer favorable viewing conditions.
  • Private-jet travel from European cities, chauffeur service and four-night stays in top suites — including presidential accommodation — are bundled into the trip.
  • The centerpiece is an at-sea viewing on a private yacht in Mallorca or a traditional llaüt in Menorca, with bespoke catering, premium refreshments and an eclipse kit included.
  • The package joins a wider rush of high-end eclipse tourism across Europe, as the path of totality crosses Greenland, Iceland, Spain and a small part of northeastern Portugal.
