Cala Major: €70 for a "Premium" Sunbed – Who Pays for the Gold Signs?

Answer

Are Mallorca beaches still public if some sunbeds are sold as premium?

Yes, the beach itself remains public, even when parts of it are managed by private operators. The concern is that higher-priced zones can make some spots feel less accessible, especially if the setup creates the impression that better areas are reserved for those who pay more.
