Holidaymakers across Lincolnshire, including Skegness, Grantham and Louth, have been left wondering if they should cancel their holiday or change their plans to book a holiday in Ibiza and Majorca. Travel agents have told Lincolnshire News Today that the advert has been mishandled by the Spanish authorities.
Due to a lack of information, some holidaymakers are unsure whether they will be able to buy alcohol in Ibiza and Mallorca clubs, while others are worried whether their all-inclusive will end at hotels at 9.30pm. Lincolnshire News Today has spoken to the experts and compiled detailed information about the new alcohol ban in Ibiza and Majorca so that people thinking of visiting the popular resorts have all the information they need.
With all the complaints over the years about unruly behavior in Ibiza and Mallorca, and with local businessmen calling on the authorities to make the resorts a more family friendly environment, the authorities have now listened.
Visitors to the resorts of Llucmajor, Palma, Calvià (including Magaluf) in Mallorca, as well as Sant Antoni in Ibiza, will now face restrictions on buying alcohol from shops between 9.30pm and 8am . While many family businesses have said the ban doesn't go far enough, it's a start in the right way.
The alcohol ban in Ibiza and Mallorca has also affected the popular party boats. Under the alcohol ban, party boats will no longer be able to operate within a mile of the banned locations.

Despite these restrictions, it's worth noting that the alcohol ban doesn't extend to bars, restaurants or clubs, so your night out can be lively, just in more controlled settings.
