Answer

What does the new lifeguard agreement mean for Mallorca beaches from 2026?

The agreement gives Mallorca’s lifeguards a clearer framework for work conditions, pay, and planning from 2026 to 2029. It may help calm industrial conflict, but it does not by itself solve staffing shortages or improve beach safety. Real safety still depends on how many lifeguards are actually on duty and how rescue operations are organised.
