Grupo Piñero is a Spanish tourism group founded by Pablo Piñero in 1977, based in Palma de Majorca and present throughout the holiday industry value chain, in the form of business units covering hotel and residential (Living Resorts), tour operation and incoming (Travels) y de otros servicios en destino (Services) and other destination services (Services), which enjoy leading positions worldwide in the holiday segment.

Living Resorts covers Grupo Piñero's hotel and residential operations, running tourism and residential complexes in Spain and the Caribbean under the Bahia Principe brand.

Grupo Piñero performs its operations in the hotel and residential spheres through the Bahia Principe brand, a key company in the group's structure, with an offering based on these divisions: Hotel & Resorts, Golf y Residences. 

And if there was one aspect of his life to which Pablo particularly dedicated himself, it was his role as husband, father and son, because his family was always at the heart of all his efforts. His great dream, in fact, was that the company he built should then be run by his daughters. All three of them saw at first hand the efforts made by their father to turn Grupo Piñero into the great family-run tourism company it is today, where we all identify with one phrase: Family is an Attitude.
