What is the 6 drink rule at Majorca Cala D or?

These rules mean, if you stay at an all inclusive hotel in one of these resorts, you can have a maximum of 6 alcoholic drinks a day as part of your all inclusive package – 3 at lunch and 3 with evening meals. Soft drinks are unlimited at any time of day and you can buy additional alcoholic drinks if you wish.



The "6 drink rule" is a regulation introduced by the Balearic Islands government to curb anti-social behavior in specific "excessive tourism" zones. However, it is a common misconception that this rule applies to all of Majorca. As of 2026, the 6 drink rule does NOT apply to Cala d'Or. The restriction is strictly limited to Magaluf, Playa de Palma, and El Arenal in Majorca, and San Antonio in Ibiza. In these restricted areas, "all-inclusive" hotels are legally prohibited from offering unlimited alcohol; instead, guests are limited to three alcoholic drinks with lunch and three with dinner. Because Cala d'Or is considered a more family-oriented and upscale resort area, it remains exempt. This means that if you book an all-inclusive holiday in Cala d'Or, you can still enjoy unlimited alcoholic beverages throughout the day as part of your package, provided you are consuming responsibly and following the specific hotel's policy.
