Luxury dinner for £55,000 in Mallorca

According to The Sun: A secretive athlete wowed Mallorca by spending an impressive sum of £55,000 for one night at Annabel restaurant in Palma Nova, Calvià, along with 17 friends. The bill left behind has become a topic of discussion among locals and tourists.

The dinner featured £38,000 for various seafood dishes and 17 bottles of Dom Perignon Rosé.

The Spanish publication Ultima Hora reported that the total amount was €63,237.90, which is approximately £55,000, or about £2,970 per person.

The restaurant, which opened just last month, shared the bill on Instagram.

The establishment jokingly asked:

“Whose bill is this? Tag them below, please – we would love to talk.”

The restaurant also hinted that at the lavish table, there might have been a

“famous American athlete”

.

This mystery sparked lively discussions online, where fans tried to guess who could have spent such a sum of money. Instagram users actively played detectives, naming names from the NBA, NFL, and boxing, but no athlete has yet confirmed their involvement.

The bill looks like a millionaire’s shopping list, where pizza, pasta, and risotto are insignificant compared to the astronomical prices for champagne and seafood.

Struggling with the hospitality crisis

This luxurious dinner occurred against the backdrop of a crisis in the restaurant business in Mallorca. Despite record numbers of tourists, most are saving money by opting for self-catering instead of spending on bars and restaurants.

A month ago, Miguel Carrio, president of the Paseo Mallorca restaurant association, warned:

“Palma is full, but they are not going to bars or restaurants.”

He also noted:

“Families do not have €3,000 for a vacation.”

This lavish dinner contrasts with the situation where ordinary tourists are trying to save, while super-rich individuals can still afford celebrations at large expenses.

Meanwhile, in Spain, the discussion of mass tourism issues is rising; from Mallorca to Barcelona, residents are protesting, calling for

“tourists to go home”

, as rising prices, overcrowding, and environmental problems incite outrage against the industry.

Meanwhile, the situation in the restaurant business in Mallorca highlights the growing divide in consumption depending on social status.
