Calvià Film Office works closely with Visit Calvià to promote the Majorcan region as a top tourist destination. The organisation has a designated office to help production companies facilitate productions and is a member of the Balearic Islands Film Commission as well as the Majorca Film Commission. For those who are looking for a serene and unique destination to shoot their next commercial, film or advertisement, Calvià is the place! Films produced in the area include The Damned United (2009) with Michael Sheen and Timothy Spall filmed in Palmanova. Famous actress Jean Seberg and director Guy Hamilton both chose Calvià as their home and the stunning images of the region in films can prove why.
The film office’s objectives are to promote the region of Calvià by turning its characterful public spaces and picturesque natural surroundings into film sets, to provide crews with both the administrative and practical means to carry out filming, as well as to inform, advise and offer bespoke assistance to allow production to run as smoothly as possible.
For Visit Calvià, the promotion of the destination as a year-round product through this channel is a key element in maintaining its leadership in the tourism sector, with the region being one of the most visited destinations in the Balearic Islands in 2021.
In 2020, the Calvià Film Office became a partner of the Majorca Film Commission to ensure a more cohesive and collaborative relationship between the island’s organisations. Therefore, production companies can be assisted quickly and effectively with the licences required for filming in the region. At the end of the same year, Calvià Council registered “CFO Calvià Film Office” as a trademark.
