Ibiza Hotels Face Staff Shortages Amid Growing Seasonal Demands

As the 2026 season unfolds, hotels in Ibiza and Formentera are grappling with significant staffing challenges. A recent survey by FEHIF reveals that 62% of hotel businesses struggle the most with hiring housekeepers, followed closely by kitchen staff at 56% and restaurant personnel at 44%. Larger establishments with over 200 employees face the brunt of these shortages, with 83.3% reporting difficulties in hiring housekeeping staff. The issue extends to kitchen roles as well—100% of the larger businesses concur on the hiring challenges. Absent workforce has added further strain, impacting 72% of hotels with increased workloads and overtime demands.

Suggestions for improvement include hosting hospitality courses during the quieter winter months, offering technical and language training, and enhancing management skills.

Ibiza to Enforce New Light Pollution Regulations with Fines Up to €86,000

Ibiza's local government has approved new regulations to combat light pollution, a move that will affect both public and private outdoor lighting across the island. The aim is to enhance energy efficiency, protect biodiversity, and preserve the night sky for stargazing. The island is divided into four zones, from natural reserves requiring maximum protection to urban areas with less stringent controls. Tourists might notice dimmer lighting in bustling areas like Platja d’en Bossa and Sant Antoni, especially during winter months when lighting will be restricted from 10 PM. These changes could impact nighttime festivals and events, though local councils can make exceptions for special occasions. The regulations will be implemented over the next few years, with hefty fines for non-compliance, ensuring Ibiza remains a top destination for environmentally-conscious travellers.
