Peguera, Balearic Islands, Spain
ES- Paguera
Peguera is a tourist town situated within the municipality of Calvià on the island of Majorca, which forms part of the Spanish autonomous community of the Balearic Islands. Located in the very southwest of the island, it serves as a significant beach resort destination. The settlement is administratively linked to Calvia and functions primarily as a hub for tourism, leveraging its coastal position to attract visitors from across Europe.
The origin of the town's name is derived from the Catalan translation meaning oven tar, referring to the historical production of tar from pine tree resin in the area. This etymological root highlights the local industrial heritage that preceded its modern development. The spelling Peguera appears on official road signs, while Paguera is an alternative spelling apparently used locally, reflecting variations in how the place is identified over time.
The resort is defined by its extensive tourism infrastructure, featuring hundreds of hotels, hostels, and apartments alongside three large beaches. A prominent shopping street runs the length of the resort, catering to the needs of visitors. The area is also known for hiking routes in the back parts of the location and serves as a departure point for catamaran and boat trips, offering diverse recreational options beyond the shoreline.
Peguera holds particular appeal for German tourists, to the extent that it has been referred to as Little Germany. This demographic influence shapes the cultural atmosphere of the resort, making it a popular destination for those seeking specific linguistic and social environments. The combination of beach access, shopping facilities, and nearby natural attractions contributes to its status as a favored holiday spot in the southwest of Majorca.
The population is approximately 3,988 inhabitants, though verified data indicates a figure of 4,095 as of 2025. The local economy is driven by tourism, supported by bus connections from Palma de Mallorca that facilitate access to the resort. Visitors are drawn to the combination of coastal leisure activities and the unique cultural character established by its international visitor base.
