A new political campaign group inĀ Ibiza, Podemos, are calling on the government to ban allĀ beach clubs and so-called āhotel discosā on the island. The action group argue that these nighttime spots have become a āserious inconvenienceā for those living on the island, as music can be heard āfor milesā.
Podemos spokesman Fernando GĆ³mez says the group aim to “end the legal limbo of one of the most important problems caused by tourism on the island of Ibiza, i.e. the serious inconvenience caused by the so-called beach clubs and hotel nightclubs.ā
The group are also campaigning for tourists who want to visit the island free of any disruption from partygoers, and are now calling to āput an endā to some of the islandāsĀ most prolific nightlife spots.
GĆ³mez also accused the beach clubs in the resort ofĀ Playa d’en BossaĀ as the worst offenders for late-night loud music with a āroarā that can be heard for miles around the island, āmuch to the misfortune of the thousands of people who live thereā.
āBut there are several other examples of beach bars or restaurants on other beaches that have become sources of noise and disturbance,ā he said, alluding to the open-air nightclubs situated on the beach fronts.
The group are asking for those that are open to play music at an audible volume, and those that donāt comply to face a fine.
Last week, the Balearic government revealed a plan toward improving tourism with a new tourism law that aims to include a slew of environmental improvements.
Tourists visiting all-inclusive resorts on the island are now limitedĀ to just six drinks per dayĀ – three at lunch, and three at dinner. As regulations on the island tighten up, higher fines are also being threatened for those who break the rules.
