New Collective Agreement for Lifeguards: Calm After the Summer or a Patch on a Crack?
Why Lifeguard Work Is So Demanding in Mallorca
Mallorca lifeguards face heat, long shifts, staffing gaps, and seasonal transport and housing problems.
Published: April 22, 2026
Answer
What can make lifeguard work difficult on Mallorca’s beaches?
Mallorca’s beach lifeguards work in demanding conditions, especially during high season. Long shifts, intense sun, heat exposure, and gaps between watchtowers can make it harder to respond quickly when something goes wrong. Seasonal housing and transport can also be part of the problem, because they affect how reliably staff can get to work.
