The sale of alcohol will be totally banned between 9.30pm and 8am in areas of "excessive tourism" in Majorca and Ibiza, under a new decree passed by the government of Spain's Balearic Islands.

In a bid to crack down on booze-fuelled holidays in tourist areas, the law completely prohibits late-night sales of alcohol in Llucmajor, Palma and Calvia (Magaluf) in Majorca, and San Antonio in Ibiza.

That 2020 legislation banned happy hours, pub crawls and two-for-one drink offers, prohibited the sale of alcohol in shops between 9.30pm and 8am and stopped party boats from advertising¹ in designated areas.



The new decree comes after the government warned rowdy tourists they could face big fines under tougher sanctions for bad behaviour.
