Sunken Vessel in Sant Antoni Bay Removed as Caution Advised on es Pouet Beach

A sunken vessel near Sant Antoni has been successfully removed after a coordinated effort from specialized teams, following an incident that saw fuel leaks spread towards es Pouet beach due to windy conditions. Located dangerously close to sa Punta des Molí and in unauthorised waters, the ship raised environmental concerns, prompting the local council to replace the usual green flag with a yellow one to warn beachgoers. Monitored closely by the Sant Antoni Department of Environment and aided by Maritime authorities, containment barriers helped manage the fuel spill. Continuous supervision ensures safety and environmental standards are upheld along the popular coastline. Holidaymakers should remain aware of the situation as authorities keep an eye on water quality and safety near the beloved spot.

Ibiza Sees a Dip in Tourists Despite Overall Growth in the Balearics

The Balearic Islands continue to draw crowds, but Ibiza and Formentera experienced a rare drop in visitors this September. A total of 547,659 tourists visited these islands, marking a 2.37% decrease from last year. Meanwhile, Mallorca and Menorca saw slight increases in their tourist numbers. Despite this dip, the UK market showed strength across the Balearics in September, with a remarkable 18.71% increase compared to 2025, comprising nearly a quarter of all arrivals. In contrast, the traditionally strong German market saw a decline. From January to September, the British tourist count in the Balearics rose by 8.99%, further solidifying the UK's position as the leading international visitor contributor.

Ibiza Set for a Calm Weekend as Storm Bruna Misses Its Shores

As the second storm of the season, Bruna, makes its way to Spain, UK tourists in Ibiza can breathe a sigh of relief. The storm, named by the Portuguese Meteorological Service, is expected to bring heavy rains and strong winds to areas like Portugal, Galicia, and Madrid. However, for Ibiza, the impact will be minimal. This Saturday, the island will experience some cloudy intervals with the possibility of light and isolated showers in the afternoon. Temperatures at night might dip slightly, though daytime readings will remain stable. By Sunday, a similar pattern is expected, with minor chances of rain and temperatures possibly peaking at a pleasant 23 degrees Celsius. Warnings of significant weather changes are primarily for mainland Spain, not affecting Ibiza’s laid-back weekend vibe. Visitors should stay updated on weather forecasts and heed any civil protection advice, but can largely continue to enjoy the island’s sun-drenched allure.
