Thousands of sunbeds removed from Majorca beaches amid local backlash
As Majorca tackles an anti-tourist backlash, almost 2,000 sun loungers are being removed from some of the island's most popular beaches, including the famous Playa de Palma. The move comes after local residents expressed frustration over overcrowded beaches, struggling to find space for their own towels amidst rows of pay-per-use loungers and umbrellas. Playa de Palma, a six-kilometre-long hotspot, has seen its sun lounger numbers cut significantly, from 6,000 in 2024 down to 4,436 in 2025, with further reductions planned for 2026. Pic:Other beaches like Cala Major and Cala Estància are also seeing sunbed and parasol numbers trimmed, while Cab Pere Antoni city beach is facing a drastic halving of its sun lounger availability. The changes come at a time when tensions between tourists over limited sunbathing spots have already been rising, as videos of holidaymakers vying for prime positions frequently surface on social media. Adding to the mix, there are plans to introduce more expensive 'Premium loungers' on Playa de Palma and Cala Major – but of course, at a cost. This crackdown on beach furniture is part of a wider anti-tourism campaign gaining momentum in Palma, with up to 60 organizations set to stage a large-scale protest in the city this week. Irish holidaymakers heading to Majorca this summer should prepare for fewer sun loungers and a changing beach experience. Elsewhere, Irish holidaymakers heading to Portugal this summer are being warned they could face fines of up to €1,800 for wearing bikinis or swimwear in the streets of Albufeira. The popular Algarve resort has introduced stricter regulations to crack down on rowdy tourist behaviour, particularly during weekends, when the area sees an influx of partygoers. Speaking on Newstalk Breakfast this week, Air and Travel magazine editor Eoghan Corry said locals have 'had enough' of what they view as disrespectful conduct by visitors. Beachgoers sunbathe and swim at Oura beach in Albufeira, Algarve region, Portugal. Pic: Getty 'What they've done is taken existing regulations, beefed them up a little, and introduced a few new ones. 'The main focus is on drunkenness and absolutely obnoxious behaviour late at night.' Among the rules being more strictly enforced is a ban on wearing bikinis and swimwear away from the beach, with penalties starting at €500 and rising to as much as €1,800.

New EU baggage change may impact Ryanair and Aer Lingus carry-on rules
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info The confusion about what size suitcase we are allowed to bring on board flights in the EU has hit headlines recently. Since people have started jetting off on their summer holidays, there's been reports from annoyed travellers that their suitcases have been deemed too big and over the recommended size dimensions allowed on their flights, despite these suitcases being accepted previously. This resulted in these holidaymakers having to pay to take their bags on board. However, there could be a resolution in sight, thanks to the EU. Last week, EU transport ministers proposed standardising the free under seat baggage size on EU airlines. If this proposal is accepted by the European Parliament, it would become law and all EU-based airlines would have to comply, such as Ryanair and Aer Lingus. The proposal said that passengers should be guaranteed one free personal item, measuring up to 40x30x15cm (including wheels and handles), or an item which could reasonably fit under the seat of a plane. Over a decade ago, a European court ruling stated that airline hand baggage should not be subject to an extra fee, as long as it met "reasonable" weight and dimensions. However, "reasonable" was never defined. At the moment, Ryanair allows one free small personal bag which can be brought on board, such as a handbag or laptop bag. It has to measure 40x20x25cm and must fit under the seat in front. Aer Lingus, meanwhile, allow personal items of 25x33x20cm. The EU ministers did not go as far as stipulating whether airlines could charge for overhead cabin bags, per the BBC. This means that even if the above proposals were adopted into law, airlines could still keep charging for overhead cabin bags. Both Ryanair and Aer Lingus charge to take a suitcase or large bag on board. Ryanair passengers who want a cabin bag have to book priority boarding, which allows them to take a 10kg (55x40x20cm) bag onboard, which is stored in the overhead locker. As for Aer Lingus, if you want to take a 10kg bag on board with you and your ticket does not include it, you have to pay for a "10kg carry-on bag" online, with prices starting from €9.99/£9.99. If you'd rather skip that fee, you can drop your 10kg bag off at the check-in desk or bag drop kiosk (available in Dublin, Shannon and London) when check-in opens and collect it again at the bag carousel when you land. This option is free, the airline's website states. Join our Dublin Live breaking news service on WhatsApp. Click this link to receive your daily dose of Dublin Live content.
