Where in Ibiza is the 6 drink rule? Restrictions apply to Magaluf, Torrenova, Playa de Palma and El Arenal in Majorca. The only place affected in Ibiza is San Antonio Town. So if you book any other resort you can still enjoy an all-inclusive basis with unlimited drinks as you have done in the past.
In short, the five best areas to stay in are Portinax, Cala Llonga, Port de Sant Miguel, Sant Jose, and Cala d'Hort. Each is far removed from the Ibiza nightlife scene. All these areas suit a range of budgets and blend Bohemian feels with contemporary cuisine and secluded beaches.
Does the 6-drink limit apply to the entirety of Spain? No. The rules apply only to certain parts of the Balaeric island, which includes Magaluf, Ibiza and Majorca. However, at the time of writing, the new rules only actually apply to Magaluf, El Arenal's Playa de Palma in Majorca and Sant Antonio in Ibiza.
What is the new rule in Ibiza? New rules mean that you're now limited to six alcoholic drinks per day, which are distributed evenly between lunch and dinner. That means that you'll get three drinks per meal - and you'll need to pay for any other alcohol you want to drink throughout the holiday.
Playa d'en Bossa is on the east side of the island. It is the main hub of partying. The atmosphere is energetic day and night. Here you'll find beach clubs, pool parties, and super clubs galore.
Ibiza is a place that caters for a diverse crowd, and clubs aim to please their target clubbers by only allowing a particular age of punter in. But they also won't typically turn you away if you have paid good money (usually €45 or more) to buy entrance for the night.
Holidaymakers jetting off to parts of Spain have been warned of a six drink limit if they are set to enjoy an all inclusive holiday. The new law enforces a drinking limit in parts of the Balearic Islands, including travel hotspots like Ibiza, Majorca and Menorca.
These rules DO NOT apply to mainland Spain and therefore Benidorm is NOT affected. The Balearics introduced all inclusive drinking limits of six drinks per day (three at lunch and three at dinner), but these rules do not apply right across the Islands and do not only apply to UK tourists.
According to a letter sent by tour operator Thomas Cook to customers which confirmed the new rule updates, all-inclusive no longer means unlimited drinks. Instead, holidaymakers will be allowed three drinks at lunch and three drinks at dinner as part of their package. Any more they'll have to pay for.
