We renovate and fit out commercial premises throughout Mallorca: shops, offices, restaurants, and clinics, from construction to ready-to-open. In 2026, a basic fit-out costs between €200 and €400/m², and a complete renovation with new installations costs between €400 and €800/m². We also handle building and business permits. We are a construction company based in Inca, founded in 1967, with over 1,500 completed projects.
Opening a business in Mallorca almost always begins with construction. A raw, unfinished space that needs fitting out, or a business transfer that needs a complete overhaul to reflect your brand. And the clock is ticking: every week of construction is a week without revenue. That's why, when renovating a commercial space in Mallorca, what you value most is meeting deadlines and ensuring the opening license isn't delayed. That's what we do at Armalutx, as a construction and renovation company in Mallorca.
What does a commercial premises renovation include?
A commercial space renovation includes everything from demolition and site preparation to complete installations and all the necessary technical documentation for opening. We deliver a finished space that complies with regulations, not a half-finished one.
The service covers:
- Demolition, furniture removal and debris management
- Space distribution and compartmentalization according to your activity
- New installations: electricity, plumbing, air conditioning and ventilation
- Facade, shop window and access improvements
- Accessibility, fire protection and sound insulation solutions
- Finishes, lighting and painting
- Technical project, final work certificate and license management
Every business has its own requirements. A restaurant needs smoke extraction and enhanced soundproofing; a clinic, specific hygiene standards; a shop, accessibility and a display window. We solve these problems by complying with the Technical Building Code.
How much does it cost to renovate a commercial premises in Mallorca?
Renovating a commercial space in Mallorca costs between €200 and €400/m² in 2026 for basic refurbishment—painting, flooring, lighting—and between €400 and €800/m² for a complete renovation with new installations. The Balearic Islands are between 15% and 25% above the national average due to their island status.
To give you an idea: a complete renovation of a 150 m² premises costs around €25,000, and fitting out an empty 100 m² space for a shop starts at a similar price. The final price depends on the initial condition of the premises, the type of business, and the installations required. We always provide a fixed-price quote broken down by item, with no surprises halfway through the project.
What licenses do I need to renovate and open a business in Mallorca?
To renovate and open a commercial premises in Mallorca, you need two different permits: a building permit and a business license. These are separate procedures and should not be confused, as one is not valid without the other.
- Planning permission: major if the reform affects the structure or the facade; minor or responsible declaration if it is of lesser magnitude.
- Activity project: technical document that defines the activity and justifies that it complies with safety, noise, accessibility and health regulations.
- Business or opening license: It is obtained after the work is completed, by delivering the final work certificate and the installation certificate.
The timeframes vary: a low-risk activity can open almost immediately with a self-declaration, while a restaurant or gym may require one to three months due to additional reports. The regulations fall under the legislation of the Balearic Islands and in the ordinances of each municipality. We manage it for you.
What is the process like, from the construction to the opening?
- We visit the premises, assess its condition, and understand your business and your brand.
- We drafted the technical project and processed the corresponding building permit.
- We finalized a detailed budget, with deadlines and quality specifications in writing.
- We carry out the renovation with an assigned site manager who keeps you informed of each phase.
- We hand over the premises with the final work certificate and the documentation for the activity license.
We work with realistic deadlines and we meet them. We know that every day counts when you have a lease coming due and you're eager to open.
What types of premises do we renovate in Mallorca?
We renovate any type of commercial premises, adapting the work to the requirements of each activity:
- Stores and retail: showcase, accessibility and brand image.
- Restaurants and hospitality: kitchen, smoke extraction, toilets and capacity.
- Offices and coworking spaces: distribution, facilities and acoustic comfort.
- Clinics and consultations: health, accessibility and compartmentalization.
If you are looking to change the use of the premises —for example, converting a commercial space into a home in Palma—, the process is different and we cover that too.

When is it NOT advisable to renovate a premises?
- If the premises are not suitable for your business (no possible smoke outlet for hospitality, no viable accessibility): sometimes it is more cost-effective to look for another premises than to force an unsuitable one.
- If the change of use is not feasible From an urban planning perspective: it's best to confirm this before signing the lease, not afterwards.
- If the renovation budget exceeds the savings of a pre-fitted premises in your sector: always compare the two options.
We'll tell you this frankly before we begin. We prefer a well-advised client to a poorly planned project.
Frequently asked questions about the renovation of commercial premises in Mallorca
How much does it cost to renovate a 100 m² commercial space in Mallorca?
Renovating a 100 m² commercial space in Mallorca costs around €25,000 in 2026 for a complete shop fit-out, although the figure varies depending on the initial condition and the necessary installations.

Do I need a business license in addition to a building permit?
Yes. The building permit authorizes the renovation, but to operate the business legally you also need a business license or operating license. This certifies that the premises comply with fire safety, accessibility, hygiene, and noise regulations for the specific activity. These are two separate procedures, and both are essential before opening to the public.
How long does it take to renovate a commercial premises in Mallorca?
A commercial premises renovation in Mallorca typically takes between three and eight weeks of construction, depending on the size and facilities, plus the licensing time. For low-risk businesses, opening can be almost immediate; for restaurants, bars, or gyms, the operating license can take one to three months due to additional technical reports.
Do you handle the business license?
Yes. Our service includes managing the technical project, the building permit, and all the necessary documentation for the business license or opening permit.
