Four Seasons Formentor removes 'private beach' — cosmetic fix or turning point for free access?

Answer

Has the Four Seasons Formentor changed its beach policy in Mallorca?

The hotel removed the words “private” and “exclusive” from its website after public complaints, which suggests a change in messaging. Whether that reflects a deeper shift depends on what happens on the ground and whether public access is actually respected. In Mallorca, the real test is always whether the beach remains open in practice, not just in online wording.
