Welcome to the

ABEL MATUTES FOUNDATION

A brief history of the Abel Matutes Foundation

The outstanding Abel Matutes Foundation, named after its first president, Abel Matutes Juan, was founded in 1978. That year, Abel Matutes was elected as a Senator and decided to donate his entire salary to supporting children's sports teams, student groups and other types of social activities in Ibiza and Formentera.

In its early years, the president and founder himself personally led the Abel Matutes Foundation. Over time, however, he had to delegate responsibilities to members of his team due to his important commitments as a European Commissioner, MEP and, later, as the Spanish Minister of Foreign Affairs.

In 2024, the Abel Matutes Foundation extended its activities to the rest of Spain and all of the cities and countries in which it operates. Although the Foundation continues to provide strong support for its activities in Ibiza and Formentera, it has also significantly extended its ability to assist in new destinations. This led to the creation of "Palladium Cares", bringing together all the corporate social responsibility activities of hotels managed by the Palladium Hotel Group.

Through Palladium Cares, the Foundation has focused its efforts on training and supporting employees and their families in the communities in which it operates as well as on protecting the natural environment. 

The Foundation also continues to promote culture, sport, scientific and sociological research, as well as the preservation and promotion of the environmental, artistic, cultural and historical heritage of Ibiza and Formentera.
