Health Check-ups and Longevity on Mallorca: What Makes Sense and What It Costs

For most people, a doctor-led basic check-up plus the free screening programmes of the public system is enough. Longevity programmes on the island cost from around 1,500 US dollars up to 35,000 € a year depending on the provider, and much of what they include is not backed by scientific evidence. This guide shows you what IB-Salut, the Spanish public health system on the Balearic Islands, offers for free, what a private check-up costs, which longevity offers exist in Palma and how to spot a reputable provider.

None of the providers mentioned pays to be listed here, and we earn nothing from any treatment.

Screening in the public system

The Balearic public health system invites residents to three cancer screening programmes. They are free of charge and aimed at people who live on the islands. Invitations come through IB-Salut, so you need a Tarjeta Sanitaria and up-to-date contact details at your Centro de Salud. How to get into the public system in the first place is covered in our guide to health insurance on Mallorca.

• Bowel cancer: If you are between 50 and 69, you are invited every two years to a test for hidden blood in the stool. The sample kit is free at participating pharmacies. If the result is positive, the programme contacts you and refers you to the digestive medicine department of your hospital, which schedules a colonoscopy if needed.

• Breast cancer: Women aged 50 to 69 are invited to a mammogram every two years. Two radiologists read each image independently. Source: Programa de Detección Precoz del Cáncer de Mama (in Spanish).
• Cervical cancer: The programme covers women aged 25 to 65. From 25 to 29 you have a smear test with the midwife every three years, from 30 there is an HPV test every five years that you take yourself at the health centre. Invitations are being rolled out step by step over five years, starting with the 58 to 65 age group. If you are between 30 and 57, book the appointment with your midwife yourself until then.

The free number 900 102 560 answers questions on all three programmes. If you have already had a colonoscopy or mammogram privately or in another country, mention it when you are invited so the interval to the next test is right.

Anything beyond these programmes is something to discuss with your GP at the Centro de Salud. Based on your age, medical history and family history, they decide which further checks make sense.

Private health check: what it costs

If you want an appointment sooner or more values measured, you pay privately. The prices in the table are taken from the providers or booking platforms, as of October 2026.

A lab value on its own says little. A check-up only becomes useful when a doctor goes through the results with you and works out what to do next, so budget for the consultation as well. What the hospitals charge for individual tests and how to get a cost estimate is covered in our post on private hospitals on Mallorca.

Longevity offers on Mallorca

Since 2025, several centres specialising in longevity have opened in Palma. They differ a lot: in price, in the tests they run and in how much of it rests on established medicine. The following details come from the providers themselves, as of October 2026.

• Age Reversal (Avinguda Gabriel Roca 37) sells annual memberships: Core 10,000 €, Master 20,000 €, Elite 35,000 € (provider's comparison). Depending on the tier they include blood tests, genetics, an epigenetic test, brain and whole-body MRI and a coronary CT.
• IUNE by Cell4Care (Carrer Fray Luis de León 5) offers infusions including NAD+, a hyperbaric chamber, cryotherapy, hypoxia training, apheresis and ozone therapy. The website shows no prices, memberships are on request. The clinic directory longevity.technology lists prices from 1,500 US dollars and an average of 3,500 US dollars per client.
• Galatzó Health (Camí dels Reis 308) is a medical practice offering lab diagnostics, infusions and biological age tests. Its price page shows no amounts.
• Instituto Rubí sells a six-month programme for 995 € a month, the extended version for 1,495 € a month (programme page).

A detailed comparison with registration numbers, languages and a critical assessment of each provider is in our post Longevity clinics in Palma compared. Cryotherapy, ice baths and studios such as Bluezone in Illetes or Transcend in Palma are covered with prices in our post on wellness on Mallorca, and the addresses are also in the directory under wellness.

It is telling who is missing: so far no hospital operator on the island runs a dedicated longevity unit. Quirónsalud has such units on the Spanish mainland, for example in Valencia, but on Mallorca only its standard check-up unit.

What experts say

Longevity programmes mix tests that are established in medicine with procedures whose benefit nobody has shown. These five offers deserve a closer look:

• Whole-body MRI in healthy people: The American College of Radiology sees insufficient evidence to recommend the scan for people without symptoms, risk factors or a family history of disease. Figures from Weill Cornell in New York, reported by the radiology society RSNA in July 2026, show what this means in practice: of around 160 people scanned, 90 % had some kind of finding, about 30 % needed a follow-up test and around 1 % had a malignant or suspicious finding.
• NAD+ infusions: Most of the data comes from animal studies. The few human studies are small and mainly looked at precursors taken as pills, not at infusions. Researchers say the marketing is ahead of the science (NPR, May 2026).
• Epigenetic age tests: Send the same sample to different providers and you get different results. What a "biological age" means for your health is an open question (AMA Journal of Ethics, 2025).
• Stem cells: In Spain, stem cell therapies count as medicines. Apart from blood stem cell transplants none of them is authorised, so offering them outside clinical trials and the narrow legal exceptions is illegal, according to the Spanish medicines agency AEMPS (in Spanish).
• NMN: This NAD+ precursor is classed in the EU as a novel food without authorisation and may not be sold in food supplements (Verbraucherzentrale, German consumer advice centre, in German).

The Spanish society for anti-ageing and longevity medicine, SEMAL, also draws a clear line. Its president said in July 2026: "No admitimos ninguna terapia que no esté validada científicamente", meaning no therapy without scientific validation (Redacción Médica, in Spanish).

How to spot a reputable provider

Every health centre in the Balearic Islands needs a licence from the regional government and must state its registration number in its advertising, under Decreto 100/2010 (in Catalan). The number is usually in the legal notice or the footer of the website. You can check it in the national REGCESS register of the Ministry of Health: search by name or town to see since when the centre has been licensed and for which specialties.

You can look up the doctor in the public doctor search of COMIB, the Balearic medical association, by name, registration number (número de colegiado) or specialty. For doctors registered elsewhere in Spain there is a nationwide search through the Consejo General de Colegios Oficiales de Médicos.

Advertising that promises certain cure or relief is banned in Spain (Real Decreto 1907/1996, article 4). Such a promise is a warning sign in itself.
