Can you still safely swim in the sea around Mallorca? A look at water quality in 2025
What Mallorca’s Bathing Water Colours Mean

Published: April 22, 2026
Answer
What do the green, yellow and other bathing water marks mean in Mallorca?
The green marking usually means the water has performed well in long-term monitoring and is generally considered good. It does not guarantee that the sea is perfect at that exact moment. Yellow or any other warning should be taken seriously, especially if it appears after rain or other incidents.
