In 2026, renovating a kitchen in Mallorca costs between €900 and €1,400/m², with mid-range full kitchens costing 8.000-18.000 € and opening up to the living room from 5.000 € in building work. Usual timescale: 3 to 6 weeks. The difference with a construction company is that we do the whole job (partitions, services, ventilation) to a fixed quote and with no surprises.

A kitchen renovation in Mallorca isn't just about replacing a few pieces of furniture: it's about lifting floors, relocating plumbing and electrical wiring, knocking down a partition wall if necessary, and creating a truly new space. At Armalutx, we've been doing real construction work since 1967, not just installing catalogue kitchens. Here's what's included, how much it costs in 2026, and how it's done—no surprises.
What does a turnkey complete kitchen renovation include?
A complete kitchen renovation rebuilds the space from scratch: demolition, new plumbing and electrical wiring, tiling and flooring, compliant ventilation, cabinetry, countertops, and appliances. It's not the same as a cabinet installer, who simply installs units over the existing installations.
When we walk into a kitchen, we first check what you cannot see: lead or iron pipes that need replacing, a fuse box that cannot cope with the oven and the hob at the same time, and the damp typical of flats in Palma or Inca. That is the part of the work that stops the ‘new’ kitchen from causing problems a year later. As a construction company in Inca and Mallorca, we coordinate all the trades under a single manager, as part of our service for full home renovations in Mallorca.
How much does it cost to renovate a kitchen in Mallorca in 2026?
The price of a kitchen renovation depends on the square footage, the scope (partial or complete), and whether the space needs to be opened up. In 2026, in Mallorca, the reference price range was €900 to €1,400/m², with an average total cost for a mid-range fitted kitchen of €8,000 to €18,000. Furniture accounts for 35-45% of the budget, and plumbing and electrical installations, 15-25%.
On the island there is a real additional cost that needs explaining: the transport of heavy materials from the mainland —natural stone, appliances, countertops— increases the cost compared to the national average published by the INE. That is why we work to a fixed quote: what you sign is what you pay.
| Type of kitchen renovation | What's included | Price 2026 (Mallorca) |
|---|---|---|
| Partial renovation ("facelift") | Fronts, countertop, taps, paint; same layout | €3,500 – €7,000 |
| mid-range comprehensive renovation | Demolition, new installations, tiling, laminated/lacquered furniture | €8,000 – €18,000 |
| Premium comprehensive renovation | High-quality materials, top-of-the-range appliances, custom-made furniture | €18,000 – €35,000 |
| Opening of kitchen to living room (construction) | Demolition of partition wall + reinforcement if there is a load + ventilation | €5,000 – €17,000 |
Step-by-step kitchen renovation phases
A well-organised kitchen renovation always follows the same sequence. Working without this order is what causes delays and unforeseen problems. This is the process we apply to every project:
- Technical visit and fixed quote, measuring the actual space and checking the services.
- Project and permit: management of prior notification or municipal licence.
- Demolition and removal of old furniture, tiling and flooring.
- New plumbing and electrical work, adapted to the layout you want.
- Masonry, tiling and flooring, leaving walls and floor ready.
- Ventilation and extraction in line with regulations, essential in both closed and open-plan kitchens.
- Furniture and countertop assembly plumb and level.
- Appliances, finishing touches, silicone and final cleaning.
- Delivery and review with you in front, going over every detail.
Opening the kitchen to the living room: the part of the construction that makes the difference
Opening up the kitchen to the living room is the most requested renovation in Mallorca, and it involves significant construction work: demolishing the partition wall, checking if it's load-bearing, and, if so, installing a beam or lintel to distribute the weight. The demolition and opening alone cost between €5,000 and €9,000 if the partition wall isn't load-bearing, and between €9,000 and €17,000 if it is.
Here's the catch with hiring just a kitchen fitter: they can't work on the structure or certify the ventilation. An open-plan kitchen needs extraction with a minimum flow rate according to the CTE, Basic Document HS Health and Safety; a decorative extractor fan is not enough. If you want to decide well before the works, we help you weigh up the advantages of kitchens open to the living room and, for the central island, what material to choose for a kitchen island.
Kitchen renovation in old apartments in Mallorca: what to expect
In older apartments in Palma, Inca, or the surrounding villages, renovating a kitchen almost always reveals surprises: old downpipes, electrical wiring without grounding, hollow-core slab ceilings, and partition walls that aren't where the plans show. Seeing it before starting is what separates a realistic budget from one that spirals out of control.
Our work here is twofold: to respect the Mallorcan architecture—high ceilings, Mediterranean light, local materials—and to update the house to current regulations, including energy efficiency improvements that can be financed by the IDAE. Before starting, we file the prior notification for minor works with Palma City Council or the relevant municipality, so you start with everything in order.

Frequently asked questions about kitchen renovations in Mallorca
How much does it cost to renovate a kitchen in Mallorca?
In 2026, renovating a kitchen in Mallorca costs between €900 and €1,400 per square metre. A mid-range complete renovation typically ranges from €8,000 to €18,000, depending on the size of the kitchen, the quality of the cabinetry, and the scope of the work. Transporting materials to the island adds to the cost compared to the national average. It is advisable to obtain a fixed-price written estimate to know the final cost before starting.
How long does a kitchen renovation take?
A complete kitchen renovation in Mallorca typically takes between 3 and 6 weeks, including demolition, installation, tiling, assembly, and finishing touches. If the kitchen needs to be opened up to the living room or the structure reinforced, a little more time will be added. A well-planned construction schedule, with materials ordered in advance, is what prevents stoppages and delays during the kitchen renovation.
Do I need a licence to renovate my kitchen in Palma?
Most kitchen renovations only require a minor works notification to the town hall, as no structural changes are involved. However, if you plan to open the kitchen to the living room by removing a load-bearing wall, a technical project and a more complex permitting process are necessary. At Armalutx, we handle all the required permits before work begins, ensuring everything is in order.
Can the house be used during the kitchen renovation?
Yes. During a complete kitchen renovation, you can continue living in your home, although your kitchen won't be fully functional for a few days. We protect the rest of your home from dust, organise the work in phases, and clean every day. We coordinate water and electricity shutoffs with you to minimise disruption.
